Both of my reference letters were submitted a day or two before that as well. I went to york university so the GPA scale is quite different but my average was about 88% for my final year marks. Also I did not have much work experience so I was quite surprised to get the offer: 3 years of tutoring, 2 months of summer camp and 1 year as an assistant teacher. Hope that helps! Expand oh my gosh your resume is REALLY impressive don’t cut yourself short!!! you deserve this :’) can i just ask how long you have to accept the offer now that you have it? like do they put a limit or is there a date ?

Expand thank you!! & they give you three weeks to accept the offer before it's cancelled!
Vivieeeeeee Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 My application status still says "under review" on SGS... Does that mean I'm rejected? Do they send rejection letters or they don't bother and leave the status as "under review"? I'm getting a little worried.

Under review just means a decision hasn't been made yet. But if they could hurry up that would be great lol this is stressful.
Scotts123 Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Another day and not a word! I’m so anxious!!! ?
ieb13 Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Still waiting for an answer for P/J but I have to accept York by Saturday...
NSNSNSNS Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Does anyone know how they decide which application to review first? Is it based on when applications were submitted? The amount of times I've refreshed my email/ Acorn/ SGS ?.
Pycelle Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 I have a feeling they split it by teachable cause I haven't heard of anyone in I/S science or math teachables who have gotten a response at all

I just find it really strange that they are waitlisting people and then accepting others. I thought once it's full they would waitlist people so I would love to know what they are thinking rn.

Did the former student specify which stream?

One of them already had an MA in english and got in like in february the first round and the other got waitlisted when she first applied out of undergrad and got in around June but she decided to pursue a masters and when she went back and applied she got in immediately too! apparently this is just a thing in teaching programs lol

(accepted and submitted on OUAC and then booked the enrolment appointment on myfile). Are there no fees/deposits for now when accepting an offer for York? Anyone have any insight on this? Cheers

I’m sure if there was a fee they would say or maybe it’s calculated into our tuition. I might ask at the academic advising appointment. Congrats on your acceptance :)!

Waiting on U of T and I accepted York in the mean time. I was also too scared to leave home to go to Queens so I let my Queens application expire. I accepted my York acceptance on Monday and they didn’t have any fees. Just a heads up though you will be locked out of OUAC for 1 business day. Fingers crossed for OISE but also a decent backup plan!

I talked to my old high school teachers and they did mention that I/S math and science teachables have the largest pool of applicants though, so I guess it taking the longest makes sense.

So ..do they send out any acceptances on the weekend LOL?
tennnnnn Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 On 3/11/2019 at 2:31 PM, BFritters said: They do, but on the application there was a section to fill out your average without a distinction as to whether they meant "last year, overall or faculty." So I filled in my overall average for the app. However, during an event someone said they look at the final year marks or if the order is weird (my last term of school in my undergrad was 1 first-year breadth requirement that I did alongside a RAship) they calculate your 'most recent upperyear marks.' I interpreted this as that you need a 'mid 70 to apply (74+)' but admissions are granted based on upperyear/final year marks, letters, references, teaching hours, etc. I would just like to clarify that I could be wrong. There are a number of pitfalls in the app that unless I had attended the open house, I would have easily made a mistake. I may still have as evident by this confusion. Expand sorry in third year and was just wondering if you took 5fce each year...im worried because this year m only taking 4fce (planning to do 1fce in summer) thanks in advance!
NSNSNSNS Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 does anyone know if there's any relationship between the admissions for the master of arts and master of teaching? I want MT but got a rejection from MA just now and was wondering if it would effect my chances at all.

Expand they aren't related! technically two separate applications. so you should hear back about the MT later
