Jay's Brain Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 On 2/22/2018 at 2:57 PM, Benefit said: Oh hm. I haven't gotten an official rejection but I was definitely not accepted then (I did a preliminary skype interview but nothing further). I found out this week I won a major provincial scholarship to Calgary though. I've heard some people contact the department after finding out they win scholarships, and then get accepted, but not sure if that is actually a good strategy. I would say it is a good idea to inquire about it. In some rare situations, the admission committee may reconsider applicants who have external funding. I don't know how the Calgary program is like, but there is no harm in trying and at least telling them that you've received a provincial scholarship that can be carried to their program. If the scholarship is affiliated with their school, all the more reason to do so! Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No news yet. But they just had their open house, and then it was reading week. So maybe soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RemainingHopeful Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Regarding Calgary, I know of one person who got accepted. They did go to the open house around the 9th and heard back early last week in the form of an official letter from the university. Personally, I haven't heard anything, rejection or otherwise. I'm not entirely sure what that means but I'm waiting! And, about York, I haven't heard anything yet, however a friend of mine noticed at least a couple weeks back that their account said Not Successful and only just got the official rejection email today. So I don't really have much information other than that things are happening, just at a very unclear pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PalmTree Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Has anyone heard anything from Ryerson (ie., acceptances, rejections etc) besides the fact that the process will be completed by mid-March? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have been waiting for some sort of email (rejection or otherwise!- though I'm assuming a rejection at this point). I'm also waiting for a rejection from Windsor (child track) as my online account was last updated December 6th. Just wish rejections came out already so you can decide on what to do for another full year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you applied to Toronto you should have received a link to activate your joinID. You can use this username and your created password to log on to Acorn. +ve regard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still says 'Documents Received' @lovewemll I'm not a U of T student either (never have been...til now maybe?!). As @Neurophilic mentioned, once you're on ACORN, the 'Dashboard' is the main page and it's right in the middle of that. I hope you're able to log in, the system is a bit funny sometimes.

And the wait continues... After the open house, most of the profs have sent in their recommendations for admission for first round. Im not 100% sure if the admission letters have gone out officially. There is a chance that some of the priority POI have turned down the students they brought to the open house/decided not to take a student, or that people will decline outright though, so its possible there may be a couple POIs who will do interviews between now and around April. The people that arent still being considered as backups/possibilities for other pois will likely get a second round of rejections sometime soon.
