Heard from my second choice (MEd DPE) and have been accepted. Anyone happen to know if this means that I was rejected from MEd Counselling Psychology?

I don't think that's how it works, however I can't confirm anything. I think this means DPE reached out to you first. Counselling Psych has been super slow and you still have a chance.

I feel like they kind of owe us an explanation at this point. Especially that student who had to accept another offer because U of T was so slow. There needs to be a good reason for this kind of delay. I'm getting a little frustrated.

Agreed. We are literally at the end of March and most of us are still waiting for a response.

I think it's so odd that one person got an acceptance super early... like mid-February, and now NOTHING ?

I think the accepted student being American might have been the major factor. They needed time to ship physical transcripts if I understand correctly.

No, I had the same question as you. I emailed the department and they said I would receive decision for each of my choice. You may accept the DPE offer and if you get accepted into other program, you can override the new offer with the DPE.. thats what they told me!

Hey everyone! Is anyone here applying for the CCP program at OISE? I also still didn't hear back! I don't know if that's a good sign or not... I heard that some universities roll out there responses by process of elimination? So if you don't hear back thats a good thing? And others say that they sound out the responses all at the same time.

"Thank you for your application for admission to graduate studies at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto. We regret that an offer of admission cannot be made at this time. The department received a large number of applications from well-qualified candidates, but only a limited number of spaces were available. Your name has been placed on a waitlist. We realize being on an admission waitlist often causes problems for people needing to make decisions concerning their future. While it is not possible to enter into discussion or correspondence about your position on the waitlist, we will make every effort to contact you as soon as possible should a space become available. If you have not received an offer of admission by mid-August, it would be safe to assume that all student places have been filled for the academic year and an offer of admission will not be forthcoming. Meanwhile, should you make other plans or wish to have your name removed from the waitlist, please advise the department directly as soon as possible. We appreciate your interest in graduate studies at OISE and extend our best wishes as you pursue your educational goals."

Thats great! I wonder if they are done sending out acceptances? Would those that have been waitlisted be open to sharing their experiences?

I am wondering the same thing. The only thing making me feel that there are more acceptances to come is the very small number of posters on GradCafe who received acceptances. I understand that not everyone is on GradCafe, although I still think that if they had already sent all 35 offers that we would have seen more than 3-4 posters. Staying hopeful that there are more acceptances to come!

Agreed! I also feel that if they'd filled all 35 seats, we'd be hearing a lot more rejections as well aha

Hey no its the counselling and psychotherapy stream!

Hey everyone! Regarding waitlists - maybe a stupid question, but has everyone who has been waitlisted had an interview?
