I have just been accepted into PhD program for the faculty of information at the University of Toronto.

I finally broke down and emailed the admissions officer. I'm not completely sure, but at the Western program (where I did my masters) they automatically accept all students into the PhD program who have an 85% average. My only guess is that U of T does the same thing and we are stuck waiting for them to sort that out.

So I finally heard back from U of T, but I'm really confused by the email they sent me. I was told that I was on the waiting list, but that the committee was still reviewing applications and the final list wouldn't be ready until the first week of April. How can I be on the waiting list if the final decisions haven't even been established yet? Can any one explain to me what's going on?

Hey everyone, I just have a quick question. I applied for a PhD in Information Studies at U of T and I've heard nothing back from them (they haven't even requested an interview). At this point should I start assuming the worst? Or do some departments just let you know what their ultimate decision was?
