Myfile status: Reviewed-unsuccessful At least now I have an answer! Fingers crossed all those who are on the waiting list

OMG! I don't get it. They told me that they had sent out refusal letters as well as first round acceptances...so how could they not have made all their decisions yet??? Wouldn't they have to rank all the applicants before sending out the first round of acceptances? That would mean that they were accepting people without looking at all the applications first - which would be so weird.. not to mention unfair if someone didn't get in simply because they were one of the last applications that they got to. There are only 20 spots in the program... I mean c'mon here! RidiculousMegan, did you speak to the social work department directly? I got my info from the department of social work and they were the ones who said that I was likely on the waiting list and that they have already sent out first round acceptances. Laurie S. said it best.... what a headache... :/

Hi Stephanie, I know that most schools keep their waitlists at a number that is slightly higher than the # of spots in a program (e.g., a program accepting 40 students may have a waitlist of up to 50, & so on). However, I know a speech-language pathologist that attended UofT for her masters & she said that UofT, in particular, keeps their waitlists relatively short. My fingers are crossed for you! I am still waiting to hear back from York as well :/ Hope this helps .... hang in there... !

Yes, I am also referring to the MSW program at York.

I received an email response from York's department of social work after asking what my status is, as my file still states 'no decision yet'. I was told that they have already sent out first-round acceptances and refusals & that they are waiting to hear back from the first-round acceptances. I was also told that I was 'likely' on the the waiting list if I had not received anything from the department as yet. So yes, it would've been nice if they had told the waitlisted applicants that they were in fact waitlisted. That way we would know that we are waiting for someone to not accept an offer of admission and/or change their mind at the last minute :/ Hang in there!

2 more weeks???!!! (sigh*)

OMG! That's great news! Congratulations!

I haven't heard anything about being waitlisted either....sooo... I guess that means I am not on the waitlist?! I am preparing for the worst at this point (sigh). P.S. - I agree that this discussion board has been really helpful; everyone is so supportive and it's nice to know that I'm not alone :/

Really? Still no status change on my file for me either :/

Has anyone heard anything from York recently???? :?
