And what was your CGPA/academic background? I finished my application on Jan 27 I think, and my status is still "Documents Received (excl. official transcript)" - super nervous to hear back! Hey there! I also submitted around the same time and my status is still "Documents Received (excl. official transcript)". For folks who are under review, how long did it take for your statuses to change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a scale of 10, My CGPA was ~9 overall, and ~9.7 in my last year. I have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science if that helps. Hope for the best hah!

Curious to know if anyone who applied around that date also has “Documents Received (excl. official transcripts)” as their application status? Hey! I submitted a day after you (January 23rd). My status is similar to yours, i.e., "Documents Received (excl. official transcripts)." Has yours changed since you last posted to "Under Review"? I think they are first going through the applications of international applicants, as they would have to apply for students visas, etc. possibly. I am a domestic applicant, so perhaps that's why it is still under "Documents Received" despite applying earlier than some international applicants, who have had their status changed to "Under Review," or have been accepted into the program. It mentions on their website that they have more international applicants than usual this year. I am guessing people abroad are taking advantage of courses being offered online due to COVID-19. My friend, for example, is living in Toronto but she's studying at a British university this year, haha. But, I think they have the same amount of domestic applicants. Good luck!

I know if you are do in a hurry of other decisions, there was previous successful experience in asking them to make a faster decision specially for you Yes, there's a lot of international applicants this year. I am guessing it's because courses are being offered online due to COVID-19. Not sure how this will affect the application process. Did you ask them to come at a faster decision for you?

CrypticTorontoMan Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 @thenuminous, I don't see where it say they're experiencing higher volumes of international applicants on the website. Is it possible to link it for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found it here https://ischool.utoronto.ca/future-students/apply/graduate-admission-requirements-of-our-masters-programs/ under "Application & Deadlines", must have been updated quite recently. They said they've extended the deadline for international applicants to Feb 28 because of the higher volume. Domestic and international applicants would be considered in two different pools, no? Just wanted to make sure as I don't know much about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
