I understand the frustration. Not sure if this is a coincidence but I know several other people who got acceptances on a Friday afternoon. Could just be a coincidence but maybe tomorrow!?? If you haven't been rejected, keep your head up!!!! 

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!

Just got off the waitlist for I/S :)
Gonna be tough catching up on 2 weeks worth of course material but OMG IM SO HAPPY!

Thank you!! Yes emailed me at 8pm this evening!

Just was offered admission for the P/J program from the waitlist!

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,
 
Just wanted to share that I received acceptance to the P/J program today morning! 
I know it is a week late but am super excited to start this program!! 
I hope you are all doing well, and that you receive some good news soon :)

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!

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

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

I think the person who got accepted in August wasn’t even on the waiting list in the first place since he went straight from under review to being accepted.

Exactly. I know in 2019, they accepted  waiting students up to Sep 12 (one day before first day of fall term).  For this year , on Monday,  Sep 14 is the first day of fall for MT programs(new entry). Then we have 27 days  in the row !
 
 

I still have an inkling of hope. My friend, who finished MT two years ago, said that people joined her class up to the first week of classes! Also, there's people on the accepted FB group that haven't received confirmation of their transcripts and such. I think they're very behind due to COVID. However, I would start making/considering alternate plans at this point. I'm applying to full-time positions related to teaching/ed in order to boost my profile for the next round of applications.  
This might not be relevant to your application but: my three friends who have finished at OISE MT in the last three years have all been highly disappointed with their time there. My main motivation for applying is to get my Masters, rather than a Bachelor of Ed at York or another school. However, they wanted me to know that, in terms of supply opportunities and LTOs, teachers with a Bachelor of Ed have had the same opportunities in schools as the Masters degree holders. They also said OISEs promise of Masters teachers being on a higher pay grade than Bachelors teachers is mostly bull****. 
All that to say: if you don't get in, maybe there's less to be disappointed about? ? Idk.

Especially because of COVID and the shift to all online learning. People might put off the experience for another year.

Hi Shamash. Not at all. I was waitlisted early March for all three programs. I still have high hopes that I will get into one program. 
There have been so much delays due to COVID-19 and the admissions has definitely been pushed back. I believe that the waitlist has started to slowly open up as more people are hearing back from OISE.
Remember that there were still a lot of people who did not even hear from the school up until these last couple of days. It is in my opinion that the waitlist has not opened up any sooner because so many people were still waiting for a decision. 
 
I am hopeful I will hear back shortly from them because I did get put on the waitlist at the beginning of March and I highly doubt everybody that gets in to OISE accepts. 
 
Wishing you the best and don’t loose hope until the end! There’s still so much of August left.
