Are you Canadian? I'm an American and found out AFTER I applied to UofT last year that since funding is so tight they didn't accept any internationals. Evidently it was that the way the year before as well and I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same again.

oh no! that sounds terrible and im beginning to get scared. did you contact professors before sending your application? may i know how you learned that no internationals were accepted last year and the previous year? was this information disclosed when you received your application results? thanks a lot, would appreciate more info

im not american, by the way.

That information was not disclosed with the application results...I found out from a group of Toronto Anth. grad students. It was later unofficially confirmed by a professor with ties to Toronto Anth.

hi again and thanks for the info. ill try to ask around more about it and will report here if i find anything. it would be too bad it UofT doesn't have funds for internationals. it's my actually my top choice.

This is wonderfully Kafkaesque. (But I also hope that you find an answer!)

Hi. it doesnt have a submit button. just upload all of your documents before the deadline and you'll be fine.

Hi Goukaku. Did you manage to find out more about Toronto rejecting international applicants? Do you know if this is true for all departments, or just anthropology?

[goukaku suru you ni]

Hi! was told by the graduate coordinator of the anthro dept that they have only few places for internationals because of budget constraints. Another professor wrote that it would be helpful if internationals could bring in some funding from external sources. i am sorry i dont have information about other programs. hope this helps, though.

Thanks.

I was considering applying to Toronto as a backup until I read the posts about rejecting international applicants. Fortunately, I won't have to take the chance now after just receiving an offer for admission to my top choice.

Do you mind sharing which university has offered you admission? If you would like to remain anonymous you may enter your result into the result page. Thanks!

I'm a U of T grad, not at anthro, but taking anthro courses.

While every unit has a quota on the number of international students (since it's a public funded institution - at least in theory), anthro is no different. But they do take on international students. I am taking courses with anthro students - first and second year PhDs - and at least a couple of them are not Canadian residents / citizens, so it's possible. You also should remember that international students are not eligible for many of the awards you can compete for, so it must be quite the financial burden (they do get the funding package, of course).

Speaking of U of T admissions, I'm curious to see who received that interview request via email. I wasn't aware that the department interviewed candidates (perhaps a new policy?) and am nervous that my mailbox is empty, at present :S

Anybody here got any news from the department?

[pomodoro]

Nothing yet... I've asked for updates from the department, but haven't heard anything back. *sighs* Well, it looks like someone received word- there's a waited MA student on the results. To the poster: did you contact the department regarding admission or were they proactive with your results?

[Lascaux3]

I have a friend who I believe has been offered admission. She has Canadian citizenship though. Maybe they're just getting around to international applicants?

[goukaku suru you ni]

Paging the BioAnthro international applicant who was admitted to the UofT... Would you be kind enough to PM me? I have a question for you, if you do not mind. Thanks!
