Anyone else getting "Fail to open page" for ACORN?

WTH, I can't log in the web browser won't open 

 

 

This happened last year as well, ugh. I agree with Chantalilly, this might save me from refreshing the page all day but it certainly won't decrease my stress levels

Hi Everyone, 

I've been a long lurker of this forum, and decided today to join in! 

I am so excited to hear of everyone's acceptances! I have applied to the 2-year stream at the University of Toronto. I wasn't too certain of all the programs I wanted to apply to, but I knew U of T was one of them so I put all of my eggs in one basket and am hoping for good news! ?

Congrats to all who have heard back, and everyone who has applied. It's such a long and grueling process, so I applaud those who have completed multiple applications to different schools. It is no easy task!

For the Advanced Standing UofT .. could someone please post when they receive acceptances through the mail?

My acorn says: Course data unavailable.  That wasn't there before. I'm going to take that as a rejection.

My SGS server is not letting me login.

Nothing for me yet either. Trying to gently remind myself that my self-worth isn’t reliant on how these institutions perceive me. Hope y’all are able to carry some gentleness with yourselves as well ?

I think this is a glitch, every other time I log in it says this but then it goes back to normal. Don't count yourself out just yet!

Thanks for this reminder.. we all need to hear it right now. I think it is difficult because this job comes from the heart... but yep it is a highly competitive program.

 

Warm Wishes to all of you.

Keep your heads up were all in this together! The one thing I remind myself is I can always wait next year and next year after that to apply again. I'm not giving up and you guys shouldn't either! ❤️☝️
