I really think the chances of getting in are slim at this point. I wouldn't be surprised if the remaining people are also offered waitlist status just because they don't want to outright decline them after making them wait so long. I applied for all divisions and was waitlisted for all divisions. They sent me an email with a link to the status on the online application. It had the letters there for me to download. 

I just got waitlisted yesterday afternoon. I emailed someone to inquire about the reasoning for this and they said "well-qualified candiants were waitlisted due to space". They also said they can't talk about the reasoning for a decision until a final decision is actually made. This fustrates me so much.. I am just thinking they already reached max acceptances and waitlisted the rest.. which isn't fair. Since clearly we have the academic criteria as we weren't rejected. Also, I agree with you-- people who haven't recieved a response yet will most likely also be waitlisted as they have reached max acceptance since there is a waitlist to begin with. I was told that there is a "high chance" of being admitted.. but idk what this even means. We had to wait literally so long (2 months past March 31st) just to be said we are on the waitlist.. so more waiting.. 3 more months of waiting to be exact (until mid-August). Waiting is extremely stressful, they should expand the program.

Considering how incredibly fustrating it is to be waitlisted I am still greatful for having some kind of chance. 

For whoever gets waitlisted, if you visit this website: https://ro.oise.utoronto.ca/RO_Stats.htm

It tells you the stats the program in the past year has had. They sent out about 800 offers to the MT program, and about 400 accepted their offer. So either they over accept, or there is a still a good chance for the waitlisted people to get in (as they would have 400 more spaces open if they dont over accept-- this also would mean that for example,  if 400 people were on a waitlist, then technically 400 people would be offered admission from this waitlist since at the beginning they offered 800 seats..)

I've tried to look for threads online about people who got waitlisted and who actually got into the MT program in the past but I've had no luck.  Anyone know anyone who have gotten in from the waitlist?  

Anyways, I hope this gives us a little more hope. So far on this forum I think there is 3 of us who got waitlisted.

I got waitlisted as well... I'm excited because it isn't a rejection, but I feel like it's bitter sweet. Hopefully people reject their offers so we can get in :( But at least we finally got somewhat of a decision!

I was just accepted today after feeling like all that was left was the wait list. So there is still hope!

Nice! What was your GPA for your year before last year? if you don't mind me asking. I'm thinking this is why I may have been waitlisted. 

[evevvren]

I applied a few weeks before the deadline and all my references sent in their replies a few days before Nov 15!  WHAT A LONG WAIT! I just got accepted today!


Intermediate/Senior, Science and French. I have an A- average.

I thought I was getting rejected for sure. It seems like the people who get accepted early all have chem and bio as their undergrads/teachables.

3.24 GPA, I was worried it wouldn't be high enough.

hey guys, I also recently got an acceptance for primary/junior division. I understand that the deadline to accept the offer is within 3 weeks from the date of the letter, but the deposit is due on June 1st. Does anyone know the deposit deadline for those that got their acceptances in the past few days?

According to https://www.oise.utoronto.ca/orss/Newly_Admitted_Students/Respond_to_your_offer_of_admission.html

"Occasionally an offer of admission is presented very close to the June 1 deadline or later. If so, the tuition deposit should be paid within seven business days from the date on the offer of admission."

Ask RO and confirm with them.

Correct me if I'm wrong guys, but they would inform you if you are on the waitlist. 

It'll be the first tomorrow. Waiting sure is hard!

There is no point in checking the SGS website.
I got my acceptance from March 1st last year, and it still shows as "under review" to this day.
