Mlite Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Hey everyone, As decisions roll out for the UofT iSchool Master's and PhD programs, I thought I would create this thread so we can share information. Please feel free to post any FYIs or questions you may have ? Has anyone heard back regarding the status of their application, and whether they were accepted/ rejected?

flyhigh0424 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) I am also still waiting and dreading... ? There has been no change to my application status so I emailed them and asked... they said it is currently under review and the result will be out around mid-March.. yet I am still waiting.

Penguinn Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Anxiously waiting over here as well! I've been in "Under Review" for about 1.5 weeks now. Anyone know how long until it changes to "Decision Made"? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penguinn Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Fingers crossed for a positive response by end of March hopefully! I'm a little frustrated because I had everything ready in January but my last reference was not completed until March despite following up weekly. Made me miss the early deadline for admissions awards. ? What concentration did you apply for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebranomo Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I completed my app on Jan 31 for the hcds concentration. I was checking the application portal anxiously for weeks and only heard back on March 17 that I was accepted. They took a really long to get back to me. I got an email a decision was made and i logged in to the applyweb portal to read the decision letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matchacha Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Hey guys! I submitted my application by the end of January but my last referee only got her recommendation in by early March and I received an offer exactly one week later. So I missed the early deadline for entrance awards too :( Are there other scholarships that an international UXD applicant can apply for? Has anyone made a group chat for accepted students? Are you guys considering to defer if classes continue to run online during fall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all - I went to York for their business program and had a B+ cGPA. Career wise I have a few years of marketing/product management experience. Hope that helps - good luck!
