Have anyone heard from Toronto MA and Toronto MFE?

[manho]

I'm just wondering if anyone have heard from UToronto for MA or MFE (I applied to both)?

I mean... it's getting really late into the winter now...

I know two people who were accepted 2/3 weeks ago into U of T, and one accepted into MFE. (also 2/3 weeks ago)

I know. I'm checking my emails like 6 times a day now. UT is my only hope left. Already got rejected from Queens and UBC (both MSc Finance)

Really hoping that UT's 1st round (assuming last week) admission decision was too late that most people have already decided on going somewhere else and rejected their offers. Heh.

Hi,

I applied to the MFE program as well, and I haven't heard back from them! I tried calling in Jennifer Liang a couple of times this week, but she doesn't pick up, and other people at Rotman and the Econ department are far from being any use when it comes to finding out the results.I guess I'll have to wait and see...

I really want to go to the UofT though...fingers crossed!

Please update me when you get your results.

Fresh baked from the oven. I've just recieved an email from them 2 hours ago (very suprising to recieve such email on a Saturday)

The email is as follow:

Thank you for your application to our MA-Regular Stream program. We
wanted to inform you that you are on our waiting list, and we plan to
send out the next round of offers very shortly.

However, we would very much appreciate if you could provide answers to
the following questions:

1. Are you interested in receiving an offer from the University of
Toronto Economics MA Program?
2. Are you presently holding other offers? If so, what are the
deadlines and the financial support that is being provided?


My question becomes. What do you think is the purpose of question 2? Are they're trying to be competitive if someone already has an offered? Or are they trying to put those who have no offers further on hold?

Well, originally I wasn't going to accept Toronto's offer because it was with no funding (Toronto ain't cheap!) and I had a competing offer from SFU, but when I told the department they virtually matched SFU. I would guess that they are planning on offering those money or a TAships to those who are on the waiting list but with competing offers.
