Hello everyone! I reached out to Ivey's faculty discipline coordinator of International Business, and he promptly answered that my application was not on the admissions shortlist. So, I knew that my application was denied.
I would suggest you to getting in contact with your discipline coordinator to have a status.
In addition to that, I got in contact with the PHD office, and they informed me that "we received over 25% more applications this year, and a large number of application packages have been truly outstanding. It's been quite a competitive admissions year."
I hope for success in your future endeavors and positive feedback from Ivey's and/or other PhD programs.
Regards
