I was accepted by another school that required my answer within the week, so I emailed UofT about the situation, and they informed me that I'd been accepted! Wahoo!

Contacted admissions committee regarding status of my application since I received an offer from elsewhere and their deadline for acceptance was fast approaching. They responded within a minute informing me that I am being recommended for admission and that my "conditional offer of admission will be found in your online applicant portal in March."

get the informal meeting from my advisor.

Moved off the waitlist. This is my 5th year applying to Phd programs, in the past all rejections aside from one failed waitlist from truly mediocre schools. My advice is to just keep going, no matter how sad and frustrating this process is. If you just keep trying and working your ass off revising your SOP and sample, you will find the right place and advisor for you. It took me forever, but I am glad it did because ended up in this incredible program with the perfect advisor for my research. Lots of tears, anger, and frustration over the years. Good luck to everyone else who has been through it. Try again and again and again and again.

My last round of trying for PhD programs, first choice and dream school/advisor. Hoping for the best.

GPA is from masters. 3 accepted publications. Did not reach out to faculty prior to applying.
