I'm still waiting to hear back. @Quincy_Taft_Coolidge They emailed me on February 10. Last year they were accepting people into March, so I think they must do some form of rolling admissions Edited February 23, 2022 by nacohhhhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincy_Taft_Coolidge Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 @nacohhhhh Thanks for the reply. That makes sense, but I did submit my application and application materials by the Dec. 15 early deadline. I was hoping that that would get me an earlier decision. Oh Well. Thanks again.

oatmilklatte12 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Got into Berkeley about two weeks ago and just got a full ride with insurance and a stipend at UNC! I saw some people were hearing back from GT and Tufts, so I wonder when those will be coming out.

Queen's encourages people to apply early and says they have rolling admissions. But their application opened in the fall and I'm not sure if even one admit has gone out yet, so I don't see how they're rolling. Anyone hear from Queen's, Waterloo or U of T? planningapplicant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm really surprised about Queen's not having sent anything out yet since they do rolling admits. Good to know we're all in the same boat at least! Also waiting on Waterloo. I'd love to hear from the Ontario schools first so I can start looking for housing if I get in to anything because the housing market is rough out there and I know I'll need considerable time to find something affordable, and would like to move before the student rush. Fingers crossed for us! keyboardranger and Making other plans 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
