University of Toronto

Criminology & Sociolegal Studies, Masters (F16)

Rejected via Postal Service on 30 Nov -1

Note

In reply to the poster below asking about my rejection. I initially applied to University of Ottawa and Wilfrid Laurier which I both got rejected to as well. My research will be focusing on cybercrimes and unfortunately many university are very very behind in this arena of study so they simply rejected me because they can't find an advisor willing to take me on. Given that, I accepted my offer to UOIT. They're currently the most technically innovative and thus far I've had a great experience with administrative staff. They gave me an extension to get my grades in ( I have to take a summer course to fulfill my undergraduate degree) with no questions asked, and have been available to answer and redirect me to the right person when I've had any questions about getting started. It's a small program (about 10-15 masters students) and many professors have told me that they have produced very successful Ph.D. canditates. I know my response sounds like it's ridden in bias- but this is based on my very real, terrible experience with applying this year.
