QueSeraSera Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Anybody else worried that Leslie DID send out the invites Monday like she was hoping, and it's just not any of us? I'm inclined to believe this is in fact what has happened. But at this point in the game, it could also just be my pessimism talking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthStar Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 I doubt it. Theres seems to be about 10 active grad students on this forum. I doubt none of us would get an invite with how few people remain. They said they hoped to have them out on Monday, but like anything in the world the review likely took longer than expected. We'll all know soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodgson Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 I never thought I'd still be waiting on UofT, considering they started sending invites over 2 months ago. With all the conspiracy theories, I feel like we're watching a very sad, stressful version of LOST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pablo_yike Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Thanks for all the feedback. I'll compile them and pass them onto Admissions next year to try and make the process more pleasant for applicants next cycle. Good luck to everyone still waiting! And for those of you that received regrets, my only advice is to look at your sketch and essays and review who you selected as references- these letters are important and make sure you pick STRONG referees. There is no point in having a stellar application and useless refs. Assess your app for yourself after a few weeks and try and identify areas of weakness. And remember to keep trying. If it's meant to be, it will happen! Thanks again, Leon. Regardless of how things turned out for me this year, I feel I've learned a great deal about the process thanks to all the contributors here, and I hope to have the privilege of crossing paths with you next year.

NorthStar Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Did anyone else get an email yesterday from UofT LISTSERV? Ya. Assumed it was associated with my prior UofT grad studies.. maybe not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qszwdxefc Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Nope. What did it say? It was totally random, something about subscribing to a survey. I didn't apply for grad studies either. And just to fuel some more conspiracy theories I haven't heard back yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwwwi Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Did anyone else get an email yesterday from UofT LISTSERV? I did as well but I assumed it had to do with something I had subscribed to last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g.app2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Well, looks like rejections have been going out. Spoke to a friend a couple days ago and he said he got his rejection on friday. He was a grad applicant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

numero0121407 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 I was wondering, how is it fair that some of the people interviewing on the 30th or the 29th already knew about their interview earlier than the ten days we'd have if we do get interviews invites today. I just don't see the logic in holding on to the files, and if rolling applications is the explanation, it makes it even more unfair. *sigh* I know some people say you don't need time to prep cuz no prep is necessary or even possible, but I would argue, the peace of mind of KNOWING well in advance is an unfair advantage.

LotusFlower Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 I wouldn't mind the waiting if I knew there was a reason for it. I just wish that the admissions team would update their social media. What's going on U of T? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numero0121407 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Exactly, no clear reason why some are waiting while others already know their spot for the same interview day. *Sigh*...ok I shall calm down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynet Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Exactly, no clear reason why some are waiting while others already know their spot for the same interview day. *Sigh*...ok I shall calm down. The reason seems to be that they just didn't finish reviewing our files in time. I suppose it's better to disadvantage a few of us rather than all the March 29/30 interviewees, so might as well send them invites if they're ready. I would love to rant about how it's taking so long and we submitted our applications on October 1 so there's no good reason our files haven't been reviewed yet.... BUT, for all I know they have a good reason. WHO KNOWS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
