Graduate School Admission Results

Canadian applicant + competed undergrad at uoft (social sciences). GPA = cGPA. Final year gpa was 3.6. WL -> A notification on June 11. Applied for ARM but will be switching into CIPS. Experience: two years working in a library. heavy involvement in student life programming (got two awards). four publications in design research and another six in compliance research. Was literally a saved-by-the-bell moment (notified a couple of days before grad), and I honestly don't think I would've gotten in without my final year gpa. Hope this helps, and best of luck to future applicants! :)

Submitted 5/12, went into under review status on 5/23. Offer extended on 6/25.

Applied early January. Heard absolutely nothing for nearly 5 months except for a text message mistake in late April stating I had two days left to accept my place. When I went to the portal, there was no offer. I followed up with the program and got a generic message letting me know it was a mistake. Got my rejection email a week later. Very poor communication and don’t recommend bothering unless you desperately want to go there. Thankfully already accepted elsewhere a month before.
