K93 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 1 hour ago, goodnightburrito said: Its just very frustrating that all the official websites state that you'll hear back no sooner than early march, and even later than that if you applied after the due date. and we know that they aren't sticking to that, which is fine, but there's no statement on the website explaining why. It's just heightening the stress. I totally understand. It's just making everyone nervous ?. goodnightburrito 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishing you the best of luck!! Hopefully we hear from them soon. I can't stand waiting. ? goodnightburrito 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimistic_ Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Keep in mind that the early admissions that went out have a 3 week window to accept, so this week they will expire and many more seats will become available with people choosing between their multiple offers, or straight up rejecting them. goodnightburrito, Chocolove and Poscy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canada2021 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 When I emailed admissions, they replied with the following: Thank you for your interest in graduate studies at OISE. Notification of results are provided to applicants via the online admissions application. We start uploading letters in early March and continue into March, April, and sometimes later months. If you submit a complete application by November 16, you should receive a decision sometime in March. If you submit an application after November 16, decisions are available within three to six weeks of application submission, but no sooner than early March.

I just accepted my offer of admission to the MACSE program but I was also admitted into MT for p/j so theoretically there would be a spot in the MT program How exactly (please) did you find out?

Just application portal profile You should have a UoT account, currently I’m a UoG student and I was still able to log into my UoT account, which is where I originally found I got accepted. Either way though, I did get official acceptance letters on my admissions portal for both the MACSE program and the MT program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they gave me the info with a link to set up my U of T account so I can access ACORN. If you google how to get a JOINid on U of T OISE website it should give you info, thats how I was able to find out. Poscy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It walks you through verifying your account, and then you can log into Acorn with that information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stream: PJ Gpa: Im currently in 4th year so I applied with my 3rd year marks which was a B-average. But I emailed admissions my updated transcript in January for my last semester because I had an A-average. I'm not sure if they took it into consideration though. Experience: 1800+ hours with classroom experience. However I was told that oise accepts students based on 50% gpa and 50% exp + letter of intent. The letter of intent is so so important and if you have a super strong letter and talk about uoft/oise's values and include them into your own values - they love that stuff. Hope that answers all your questions!! canada2021 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if I should send in my updated transcript since my application is still under review. Did you receive a response from OISE once you sent your updated transcript?

I emailed all 4 schools I applied to and 3/4 basically said they don't care LOL and that they won't take it into consideration. And oise just never responded but it's a possibility they looked at it?

They said applications are evaluated based on transcripts received at the time of application and that the decisions should be released pretty shortly. so I guess we just have to wait for the results....
