Well, Canadians schools don't abide by the April 15th notification deadline. It's something to take into consideration when applying to Canadian and American schools. If you look at the results board for last season, a lot of Canadian applicants didn't get notified until mid-April, May, and even June!

Don't give up hope!

Mine appears to be working. I accepted my offer about a week ago, but now when I log in have an extra 'apply for housing' link on the right side. I just noticed this on the page: Please be advised that the Future Students web site will undergo maintenance tomorrow, April 13, between 6 and 9am, and will be unavailable during that time. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Go to Boston U. It's quite clear you don't want to go to Canada, and you didn't mention anything about Tufts. Having a close friend living near you makes a big difference, so I'd say go to Boston. Good luck.

Thank you. If you have any questions about relocating to Toronto, feel free to ask. I moved here from Regina, SK about two years ago.

Thank you guys. Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone who is still waiting to hear back from Canadian schools.

Hi all, I'll be at York in the fall. I'm so excited!

Finally heard back from York. It's good news! Looks like my "only applying to my program" gamble paid off!

I got in as well! I'm so excited!

Sorry to hear that, prongster At least you have some acceptances... and hopefully you'll get off the waitlist at UoT. As for me, still nothing...

I'd wait until next week. Hang in there! I'm sure you will hear back from them soon. I think the fact that you haven't been rejected is enough to be optimistic . They could be trying to secure funding, etc. Putting pressure on your POI is probably not gonna help. Be patient. I know it's hard

Definitely! Regardless of the outcome, I know next week I'll be free. No more waiting! I can't wait... It really does sound like you have a good shot at UoT. They seem to admit a lot of people off the waitlist, so you definitely have good reason to be optimistic! Good luck and keep us posted on York!

Good to know! I applied for MA as well. Do you have any idea how many MA students they admit per year? Thank you so much for sharing the information! I really appreciate it. I've been panicking all week. Rose sent that email saying we'd know by March 31st, so I was really worried.

Aw. Any idea where you stand on the waitlist? I got news from York thanks to a fellow poster. Apparently, decisions have been made and they will be notifying sometime next week.

Thanks. I'm also waiting for this program. Did you apply for MA or PhD? Good luck to you too!

I don't think the deadlines were pushed back. I was looking around and only a few have been extended... The deadline for the translation program has been extended to April 15! I guess they didn't get enough applicants. Asides from that case, I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. Mind you, I didn't look at all programs (there are a lot!), so who knows. My deadline was Feb 1st all along. I just sent my application really early.... I had all my materials ready months in advance. I'm that type of person...

I can totally relate, andiepants! It's really hard not to over analyze the results board. I've also formulated strange theories as to why York is taking so long... My last theory is that UoT and York share a lot of applicants, and UoT's Linguistics department notified about a month ago, so I'm thinking York U is waiting for all the shared applicants to decline (UoT is usually the first choice - but not in my case) so they can then notify the "b"-list. I'm going crazy here... I applied for this program back in November. I've been waiting for ages! At least I find it very comforting to know I'm not the only one, so thank you guys for keeping me updated! Good luck!

Same here. March 31st went by and still not a peep.

Same here! I would feel so much better if I was Canadian.... but I'm not, so.... If you look at the rejections for York, most of them have been posted by international students. I'm trying to stay positive, but this is my second year applying as an international student to a Canadian school, and it just seems impossible. I wish we had equal opportunity, but such is life. [Note: I'm currently awaiting my Canadian permanent residence; I ended up applying for it after I submitted my application to York. When I saw they were only allowing one international student per department, I freaked out and I emailed my program to let them know that I wouldn't be needing a student visa. Let's see if that makes a difference this year. I'm pretty sure it still says "American/Visa required" on their system. I should be re-landing as a permanent resident in about a month, so hooray!] Either way, good luck to everybody, especially to international students applying to York. We need all the luck if can get if the one international person per department thing is true.

It's from the results board. I just thought it might be easier to visualize since the results board has three different names for York U (York University (Toronto), York University (Canada), and York University). But looking at the results, it seems a lot of departments are still making decisions.... I don't really understand MyFile. Doesn't the department forward the application to graduate admissions and then they update the file? I'm getting discouraged too, folks.

I hope so too. Here's a quick run-down of the York U programs that have notified students: Education Language, Culture And Teaching Social And Political Thought, MA Woman Studies, PhD Interdisciplinary Studies History, PhD Science And Technology Sociology Communication And Culture, MA Humanities English Geography Political Science, MA Cinema Psychology (Clinical/Developmental) To international students: Most posters are reporting that one only one international student per program is being accepted this year. Also, make sure to look for both York (Toronto) and York (Canada) on the results board. Hope this helps.
