browneyedgirl Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 on a related note, I'm guessing everyone should hear from Toronto shortly if they haven't already, as I received my e-mail earlier this evening.
Sirius Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 Evidently, they did not wait until Marhc 24 to make their decisions... browneyedgirl, has your status changed in the online application system?
LizH Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 on a related note, I'm guessing everyone should hear from Toronto shortly if they haven't already, as I received my e-mail earlier this evening. Browneyed girl.....you fail to mention if you got in or not
browneyedgirl Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 my apologies - I just checked my status, and it's still "under review." this is what I received: Greetings from the Political Science Department at the University of Toronto. Our PhD admissions committee has just met and a decision was made to offer you a position in our PhD program beginning September 2008. CONGRATULATIONS!! I am more than happy to bring you this news and hope that you will consider joining us in the fall. The offer comes with a guaranteed funding package of $13,000 plus tuition. Details related to the funding package and your admission will be communicated to you shortly. My apologies for not emailing individually but this email is simply to give you the good news and to welcome you to our PhD program. so, it's not clear if everyone received this e-mail, but I would guess (and it's just a guess) that a number of people did and that there may be some sort of waitlist depending on what happens.
lenin333 Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 My friend got in too. We are both masters students at U of T. He seems to think that he also got a TA ship. Where are all of you coming from? Where are your MA's from? Or are you doing MA in the PhD streams?
BadUsername Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 Just rejected at York, via a personal email from a faculty member there. Email contains this interesting tidbit for American students: "We [i.e. York] are allowed only four international applicants plus two for the reversion list [i'm guessing this is Canadian for wait list] and you were just outside the admint/ reversion pool." So basically, very hard for international students to be accepted... Congrats to those admitted!
LizH Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 has anyone been formally rejected from Queens or U of T yet???
Niels Posted March 31, 2008 Author Posted March 31, 2008 I called the department todays. They told me to call next week if I don't hear anything from them. They also told me they look at applications from visa students (Americans and other international students) last. They also don't have an April 15 matriculation deadline like everyone else. Great.
lenin333 Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Letter of admissions for Ph.D. Finally, a place to call home.
LizH Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 I thought you got rejected from U of T?????? GAH! They STILL haven't sent me my FUCKING rejection letter.......if they ever do.......sob!
lenin333 Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 Some administrative error, huh? To my mind, the dark dungeon of decision-making will never be deciphered. I have no idea how Adcom's work. Probably never will. @LizH I don't know if they have sent yet, but if you live in the States that mail can take forever. I once sent a letter and it took 6 weeks to go from T dot to the midwest.
browneyedgirl Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 I still haven't received a letter by mail, but I received two e-mails, the second of which promised a letter by mail and contained an attached, general version of said promised letter. the funding information wasn't specific, though, so I'm guessing that still has to come. unfortunately, it ideally needs to come... within the next 8 days. sigh.
Niels Posted April 10, 2008 Author Posted April 10, 2008 I received an email from the MA program assistant today informing me that I was put on the waitlist. She attached a letter from the admissions committee: "The Admissions Committee recently met and considered over two hundred applications for the Master
canofbeans123 Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 Is Anyone applying to these schools this year? All three, McMaster, York and U of T are on my list
Thales Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 I've applied to York and UofT (Political Science and Criminology MA programs).
brewski Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 I'm applying to the PhD programs at UBC and UToronto. Last year I applied to and was accepted to the MA programs at those schools, in addition to York. Hopefully this year I'm as lucky!
