    I guess my question now would be, do people get rejected or are people just put on waitlists? I haven't seen anyone talk about rejections in previous threads as well. All I've seen is waitlist/acceptance so I'm kinda curious.

    A friend of mine applied to this program in 2018 and received a rejection email. But who knows, maybe its different now?

    Has anyone heard anything today?

    Nope :(

    I sent them an email yesterday asking if all offers have been sent out, no reply.

    I emailed them today asking if all waitlist positions had been sent out, no reply either.

    Hey everyone, I also got waitlisted today. My last name starts with an R and I submitted my app on Jan 29th - hope that helps. 

    As for my stats, 12.0 GPA, research experience (several first author and co-author pubs in cancer research, about 10 conference presentations, published an oncology book), volunteer work (some in global health) and extracurriculars. Not sure if this helps anyone but thought I'd share! 

    Best of luck to everyone:) 

     

    damn you got waitlisted with those stats ?

    I wonder what the weighting is for each part of the app when making admin decisions

    Yeaaah! It was so tiring, which is why this year I really hope I don’t get wait listed again because I really don’t want to go through that whole process again :( 

    and what! Really!!!

    Let's hope for the best next week! :)

    I emailed admin again today asking whether they had sent out all the initial offers, and the replied "due to the high volume, offers will be going through the School of Graduate Studies (SGS) and this can be stretched over the course of a few days." so I'm sure they will still be sending out more offers early next week!

    Omg same!! I also applied last year and my average was around a 10.5 too. But I do think my SOI was not that great last year. Worked on it hard this year. 
     

    I was waitlisted and only heard back with a rejection during the first week of September. I was a long long wait if you remember hahah 

    Yesss such a long wait!! I wish they had disclosed ranks on the wait list, or at least given us some hints.

    I never got a rejection email. Maybe they just forgot about me on the list! ?

    @robby99 May I ask what your stats were last year? 

    Last year I applied with a 10.3. My SOI wasn't very good, I rushed it last minute.

    I heard that there were a few people who were admitted in the 9s last year. I think my SOI may have been a bigger factor in me being wait listed. I'm not sure where I was ranked on the waitlist (they don't disclose that info). However, I never made it off the list, so I was def not at the top!

    This year, my GPA has gone up significantly and I made sure to intentionally discuss all of the key questions in my SOI.

    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!

    By how much did your GPA go up if you don't mind me asking?

    I am also a reapplicant. I got waitlisted last year.

    For those who were accepted and got a scholarship, how much did you get? Does everyone who is accepted get a scholarship?

    According to the website, there are only a limited amount of scholarships given out per year.

    Congrats to everyone! Do you guys think offers are being sent out in waves? 

    Yes, I think so. When I emailed the office on Wednesday, they told me that offers are sent out over the course of a few days as they are being processed by the school of graduate studies. 

    Last year, it seems like they sent out offers of admission early to mid May and sent out wait lists notifications May 15. 

    Perhaps this year it might be a bit delayed? It seems like people just started getting offers of admission starting on Tues/Wed this week.

    Just a quick question - for those who have/ haven’t received a response yet, under student centre does everything still come up as “required” and not completed? For me, only the reference letters say complete. I know they get updated manually, but I’m wondering if it ever says complete for the other sections? 

    I haven't received a response yet. My references say completed but everything else says required.

    How were they notified? :)

    I'm not sure. 

    I emailed the program and this is what they said:

    "Due to the high volume, offers will be going through the School of Graduate Studies (SGS) and this can be stretched over the course of a few days. Applicants will be notified of admission decisions by email."
