Just got in via email, however my status online continues to say "under review". Still waiting for the other program I applied to.

Congratulation! Are you admitted to first year or advanced standing?

[JoGsy]

Thanks, congrats to you too! I have been admitted to first year - I have an accredited undergrad degree in Architecture from the UK, so advanced standing would definitely have been ideal. I'm trying to choose between Ryerson and U of T at the moment. Where are you thinking of choosing, and did you get advanced standing?

[DSY]

Thanks! U of T is my first choice so I'm definitely going there. I didn't receive advanced standing either and I also have a undergrad degree in architecture. Being in 1st year is also beneficial because you are learning with all other new students and adapting to the environment together instead of being completely clueless in 2nd year classes. It would be nice to replace some 1st year history and theory courses with 2nd year electives.

[JoGsy]

Did you apply to Ryerson? I'm having a bit of a dilemma because their program is 2 years compared to 3 and a half, and as an international student, it would save a lot of money.

Does anyone else have any insight into/opinions about either program?

[DSY]

I also applied to Ryerson but U of T is definitely my first choice.
