Hi All!
Good luck to everyone who has applied and is anxiously awaiting news. I applied to advanced standing programs at U of T, Ryerson, and York in both 2019 (waitlisted at all schools) and 2021 (accepted to U of T, rejected to Ryerson and York). I was accepted last year to U of T's advanced standing child and family stream. I wanted to give you some info on the time line since it gets so confusing!
Last year Ryerson called all accepted applicants on March 4, and sent out rejections/waitlists the next day on March 5th.
U of T began changing applicants status on ACORN to INVITED on March 4th, but didn't send out official acceptances/waitlists until March 5th. I do think they change status alphabetically since I remember seeing people updating this forum all day with acceptances, and I didn't receive a change in my status until about 6pm (Last name starts with a Y!). They sent out acceptances/waitlists/rejections for the 2-year applicants about 3-4 weeks after the advanced standing, and began accepting people off the waitlist as early as May and as late as September!
York did not send out anything until very late in the year, I believe it was late May/early June.
I hope this timeline helps ease a little bit of anxiety! Let me know if you have any questions :)
