Received an offer today! Had pretty much lost hope as I hadn’t received even a waitlist email. Received the email at 4:31 PM, nothing on Mosaic (they mentioned in the email that there seem to be some issues right now). 

Got an email Acceptance! ?  (4:31pm) + scholarship
I'll be posting my stats soon  
 
 

I got the same thing at 4:30pm!!!! grad cafe honestly helped me so much, if any of you guys have any questions please DM me :))))))))))) 

Thanks everyone for the congrats! I just received the official email. Received a small scholarship as well.

I'd also be down to join an unofficial group! 

Yes haha, I meant an unofficial group  Would love to hear where everyone's at, see if any of us have any important info that someone else might have missed, etc! 

I am happy to make a FB group or Whatsapp group chat for those accepted if anyone is interested! DM me if you are and I can set something up 

For those accepted, is a Facebook group going to be made soon? I feel lost for next steps lmao

Just wanted to share that I got in today and just accepted! I'm not sure if it appeared on Mosaic first, but that seems to be the case for most people so keep checking there. I also got a grad scholarship of $2,500, not sure if scholarships vary but saw some people asking about this. As far as stats go, when I applied I had an 11.0 GPA for the most recent 10 courses, but in my final year this went up to an 11.8. I found this thread super helpful, so if anyone has any questions feel free to ask!! Good luck everyone!

Omg what I got in with a small entrance scholarship

CONGRATULATIONS!

Hey everyone,
This thread was so helpful during the entire process, so I want to address some things that might help those waiting for a response:
GPA: I applied with an L10 GPA of 11.30/12 on the McMaster scale.
BUT, from everyone I've talked to already in the program, I don't think GPA is a driving force behind getting accepted or not. I know someone who got in last year with 10 point something GPA before their 11 point something GPA friend got in.
I ***THINK*** that SOI and reference letters are weighed more heavily than GPA.
What time did my Mosaic update?: I saw my conditional acceptance on Mosaic at around 3:30 PM.
What time did I receive the official email?: Around 4:15 PM
 
Everything above is just based on my experience, so take it with a grain of salt, but I hope this post helps settle some nerves!

GPA: 11.20/12 
What time did my Mosaic update?: I saw a conditional acceptance around 3:45 pm today
What time did I receive the official email?: Around 4:30 
I saw the conditional acceptance (blue box thing) on Mosaic and was unsure if I had gotten in. I received the email outlining that I had the acceptance as long as I had completed my undergraduate courses with good standing. I also received a small scholarship. 
I applied to this program last year with a slightly lower average and different referees and did not get in. This year my average was somewhat higher but I think that my new references may have made the difference.
Best of luck to everyone waiting to hear back!

That was the first time I checked that day! I only decided to peek after someone else on this thread said their Mosaic updated. So you might get a more accurate time for when Mosaic updates if you look for that post

Omg thank you so much for this informative post! Really appreciate it! 
When you saw your acceptance on Mosaic at 3:30pm, were you checking your status leading up to that time or did you just check it for the first time then?
