Who did you email?

Hey! Had you spoken with a potential advisor before applying?

Hi there masters results typically come out in mid March-June

Weird! I emailed today asking if interviews have concluded for this year I’ll let you know if they answer!

Nothing! I’m starting to get nervous, have you emailed the department?

@Photo Light have you heard anything from UofT?

Not sure if this will help the this site https://www.phdstipends.com/results lists the stipend amount of various schools and programs, maybe you can say “ x school is offering x amount can you match that?” Worth noting I have no experience negotiating stipends

There’s definitely a lot unspoken rules. Thank you! I hope you get in too!The program at Waterloo seems great.

Yeah I did, I find even when programs say you don’t have to it’s better if you’ve already identified and chatted with the prof you want to work with

Is SBS social behavior? On their website it says admissions start going out in February

I’ve heard that if you had an advisor identified you’re pretty much in, but they don’t send decisions until march

Uoft how about you?

Just to add in my two cents, I received an offer from a Canadian school and they gave me a month to decide as they “expect I’m waiting to hear from other schools” and they offered to let me speak to current students to get an idea of the lab and program. If a prof isn’t giving you this courtesy then it also speaks volumes of them as an advisor.

From what I’ve heard from current students/profs is that if you’re not rejected out right it means you’re on an informal waitlist in the event that someone rejects their offer

An acceptance to uoft? Could you link it here please? Good luck to you too!
