Last year, I didn't hear back until the (almost) final big batch of regrets e-mails and my application was certainly stronger this year. Can someone please post on the discussion board if you have heard about any other regrets at this point? Is there any chance of having someone at U of T even take a second peek at my application because of this issue? Good luck to all, P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
