SGS will show "Decision Made", it won't actually tell you what the decision is, unfortunately (hurray for the ACORN loophole!). For my Advanced-Standing friends, may our distress only continue for another week! I applied last year and I heard back around Feb 20th so I'm hopeful that they'll stick to this general timeline again So much good information! Do you remember when you got your letter? ..Or know when acceptance packages are mailed out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FK@UofT Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 UofT advanced standing folks ... I'm sitting here knowing that somewhere in UofT land...the decision is already made and I'm soon to hear about it, in a few days. THE ANXIETY. I'M FEELING TOO MANY FEELINGS.

I remember my letter being dated Feb 20 or Feb 21 but I don't think I actually got it until March 1st because that's when I sent in my slip accepting a spot on the waitlist. I'm pretty sure that Feb 20th is when people started to see the "Invited" tag on their ACORN accounts appear. I do know that acceptance and waitlist letters were sent out at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
