Canadian Schools

Why is it that Canadian programs seem to take so long to get back to applicants?

I haven't heard back from either University of Toronto or York University, and it's nearly April. Frankly, I think they're screwing themselves out of some really strong applicants by sending out admission notifications so late. By April or May, a lot of candidates have already accepted other offers or have at least gotten emotionally invested in other programs.

Anyone know what's up with Canadian schools' timelines?

(For the record, though, McGill did an awesome job of replying in a timely manner. They were extremely friendly and professional, to boot.)

U of T sent out acceptances at the beginning of March and had the open house end of March. I'm not sure about York though.. Try checking the Results page

Oh, and it's also a bit late probably because application deadlines weren't until the beginning of Feb. The timeline is a bit different from the US schools
