Thanks for your advice everyone. It's really easy to get discouraged, I never imagened how stressful this process would end up being. And I completely agree, the best thing to do now is improve on my resume with more "on the field" experience and tweak my letter of intent! There's always next year!

So I applied for my MA in journalism and my top school (Ryerson) rejected me. What really confuses me though, is the fact that they refuse to tell me how I can improve on my application. It makes me wonder if it really is worth it to reapply next year, if my chances of getting in aren't going to increase. I mean, my transcript is pretty much set in stone. So if it's my marks which didn't cut it, then I won't be reapplying. But the unfortunate thing is the school refuses to release such information, and this leaves me wondering, should I go through the stress and trauma of reapplying -and possibly getting rejected- all over again? Anyone else having this issue? Debating whether or not to even bother again?

I am waitlisted and they told me to give them until early August before they can make their final decision, and then they expect me to move 7 hours away from home and somehow find an apartment and get funding before labour day. While I'd love to be accepted I also worry that it'll be extremely last minute and I won't be emotionally or financially prepared to move so far away. I just wanna knowwwww, nowwwww. The stress is driving me insane.

Hey there, This might be a late response but on the website it says they will pick names from the waiting list the first week of August. But when I was emailed and told I was put on the waiting list I was told they begin sending them out as early as mid April. If the waiting list has 10 people on it like the website claims, half of those ten seem to be on this very forum haha. I'm super anxious I wish they would tell us what number we are on the waiting list.
