Anyone apply to University of Toronto Engineering?

Hi Everyone, I applied to the Civil Engineering PhD program at the University of Toronto - priority deadline: December 1st. They are supposed to be having an open day event in early February (5-7) and the application mentions that invited applicants will be notified one week after the deadline. Just wanted to find out if any of you have heard back? I contacted the admissions team in late December, and they mentioned that I would hear something by early January. Still nothing

The applicants have already been informed apparently. But they have only selected the applicants from Canadian schools. In other words, if your app does not indicate education in a Canadian university, then you are ruled out for an invite (unless you're an extremely strong applicant from US and there is a faculty member who really really wants you).

 

It's a paid trip, so the faculty wants to minimize the cost if possible. The person I talked to even mentioned Ontario schools as the main priority to fill up the limited list of invites.

 

Bear in mind that they filter by school, not place of residence.

 

That said, do not worry yet. Their admission procedure esp. for engineering is a long wait. I'd be seriously concerned in early June for example. Just relax for now, there is not much you can do at this stage.

 

Good luck.
