Wow - you'll have a masters, thats great! Have you heard anything from OISE?

[nyc.cyn]

No I havnt heard anything yet. But from my research on this forum last year they sent out meet and greet emails at the beginning of march!
 

[speechies]

My Gpa for the last year is in the A/A+ range

Experience is paid employement for summer camps, before and after school program, and private school. I also dabbled in some volunteer work for Speech Language Pathology and an ASD center. 

What schools are you applying to/have you applied to? I only applied to OISE... which is why I am so nervous. I applied to both the MT and the MA but I am really hoping for the MA. I had my interview at the beginning of February and haven't heard anything yet (though they have given some acceptances) so I am quite nervous. However, the atmosphere there was phenomenal. I thought my interview went well, but it was more so an open discussion. One thing I regret is not making it a point that this program is in no way a backup to Speech Language Pathology (which I also applied to and they are aware of)

You have such a good GPA!  I hope you hear from OISE, I mean you got an interview so even that is an accomplishment!  I unfortunately did not get an interview...and have accepted the fact that I will not get one.  It is upsetting because I thought I had a pretty good shot.  Thankfully I have other options for teacher education, though it will take me longer to add a Masters on top of that.. boo

Let us know if you hear anything.  Best of luck.

[nyc.cyn]

I have a quick question...did everyone here do honours? I did a regular B.A. because I thought I could still apply...but I may go back to do my honours now, as it may be preferable.

Yep! I actually did a double major in my teachable subjects and graduated with first class honours - while I don't think it's necessary, I don't think it hurts an application!!!

Hey! I did an honours degree but my friend who did a regular BA still got accepted to the MT but has not heard about MA yet after her interview.

[nyc.cyn]

I did my undergraduate degree in California we didnt necessarily have an honors system or we did but it was different. 
But I was a double major or french and psychology and did a thesis in both those majors. And my average in French was A  and for Psychology was around B+. 
Now masters of CHYS from Brock still finishing it up. 
But I didnt apply to the MA. 

[Victor Chou]

On ROSI, it says I have been invited to the J/I division. I didn't get an invitation for I/S, so does that mean I'm not accepted in I/S? Or are they still reviewing applications?

[speechies]

Has anyone heard about MT yet? I havent heard anything or have anything on my ROSI

[nyc.cyn]

My Rosi says financially cancelled for both programs I applied to which is weird. Any uoft student can clarify why I would have that?

It means you have been accepted for J/I, but not I/S

They have done their first round of admissions I believe! A whole bunch of us were notified around March 1st that our application status had changed through an email and on ROSI!

Hey! I called and asked about that because my husband's status said that too - it basically means that your offer is conditional, because your degree(s) are still in progress! But it still means you are accepted!

Yes last week I got an email regarding being recommended for admission (which basically means you are 99% in) and also an invitation to the meet & greet which is tomorrow. By the way, this is for MT only. For MA I got the same thing but the meet & greet is end of March.
