Good to know!!! That's a little comforting. Still York makes me nervous with their history lol

"Members Approve Provisional Strike Timeline POSTED ON MAY 20, 2021 BY COMMS OFFICER At our SGMM yesterday (May 19th), the membership grappled with the Employer’s continued reluctance to bargain in good faith on our proposals. The collective agreements for CUPE 3903 Units 1, 2, and 3 expired on August 31, 2020. Since then we have collected data, and on December 9th, presented the Employer a concise package of proposals. Our proposals aim to affirm job security for contract faculty, and promote employment equity, which aligns with York’s publicly stated commitment to ensure equity, diversity and inclusion. Despite the Union’s expressed desire and efforts to address these issues concretely and expeditiously in the context of the pandemic, the Employer has engaged with our proposals minimally. Given how protracted movement has been at the bargaining table, the membership has approved a provisional strike timeline in order to consider the next steps in the bargaining process, and has restated their support for the Bargaining Team; they urge the Employer to bargain seriously." Nothing for sure, but given how many times York has had strike issues in the last 20 years... this is not making me feel more confident in pursuing studies there.

Waitlisted for PJ and JI for the second year even after getting tons more experience and taking another course I did very well in to bump my grades. I hope maybe I'll hear back this year. Never heard back last year. I accepted my York offer, but now the potential of strike at York has me panicked. I wish I could ask what keeps me from getting accepted. But their policy is not to reveal their deliberations to any applicants.

Was in the same boat last year. They refuse to provide any feedback regarding their decision making process.

Hey there! Last year I was waitlisted for J/I (which I have the most experience in) and rejected from P/J and I/S.

I think it's quite significantly more than this... Probably like 100 at least? I'd think.

Hi all! I applied to MT again for 2021 September, all divisions, after being waitlisted and never admitted last year. I'm a U of T graduate of Indigenous Studies and Geography, with various youth work, tutoring, and school-based experience. My GPA is probably just at the B+ mark now. However last year I applied way later in April. I took another course in the Fall semester to up my GPA and took an additional tutoring position to up my appeal. I'm really hoping I can finally make it. This will be my third year trying for teaching programs around Toronto. I've been waitlisted/rejected from several programs. It's so competitive. Good luck to everyone, I hope we hear back soon!

Congratulations!!! Did they email?

FK I actually just saw your post on the Facebook group! That's amazing, congratulations!!! I hope it goes well this semester for you.

Hi everyone - I've checked this page every day since June, and appreciated the support. For those of us who didn't get in, I wish us the best of luck in reapplying, applying elsewhere, or pursuing a different path. Despite this not being what I planned for, for those of you who want to be teachers, this is another year we can improve ourselves and acquire new knowledge to share with the students we'll be teaching one day. ? Cheers!

One person just got accepted (presumably off waitlist) to J/I on Friday. She posted in the FB group.

Nothing ?

Maybe no waitlist admissions up to this point?! Hard to believe. There must be some... Maybe we just haven't heard.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/2914316008661014/?ref=share I think they're referring to this one? ^ I haven't seen anyone talking about getting in recently or getting in off the waitlist at all.

Thanks for sharing AI! Sucks to be on hold for so long. But at least there's still hope.
