University of Toronto Computer Science Graduate School Admission Results

After following up with them, got a response from Claire ( mscac@cs.toronto.edu ) saying that she cannot reveal the outcome but recommends that I prioritize any other offers I have at this point, which basically means I am rejected.

Spoke with the admissions office yesterday, they are planning to send decisions by the end of this week/month. I haven't been accepted or rejected yet, and their official standing is "all applications that haven't been sent a response are still under consideration". Canadian domestic applicant.

Decided to attend a program in Carnegie Mellon that is not CS instead.

As expected

International (US) direct PhD admit. Past research experience, no pubs, good LORs. I am not the strongest applicant, but I connected with a prof. with a good research fit. Professors make the offers at UofT, so connecting prior to applying will have SIGNIFICANT impact on the outcome. Good luck to those of you waiting, and if you plan to re-apply to UofT or any other programs, network! Send cold emails! Request Skype chats! Wishing y'all the best.

Rejected without no interview. Good GPA. Graduated from a UIUC-level US university . Multiple research experience, several leaderships including two software companies' founder. It is certainly not a good experience. Right after the deadline, I sent multiple emails to a POI but never get response. Whenever I send an email to the admission, my email got forwarded and replied with a generic email. I also applied the MSc program, and I heard multiple people saying that the school don't accept international student this year because they don't want to fund the higher tuition. It was very risky since I have only applied two schools. But luckily, I'm going to Oxford instead.

Email from professor saying he isn’t taking any new students this year. Was the only professor I had applied to. Subject: theory

TTPB: People that got admitted into UofT's Ph.D. CS program: Did you guys applied for the Ph.D.-Direct option or did you hold a master's degree beforehand? Also, what did it say under "Application Status" in the departmental form before it changes to "Accepted" or something like that? Was it "Complete" or was it something else? Finally, the person admitted into Theory track, congratulations!, can you please mention your PoI name? Initials would work :)) Thank you so much!

TTPB: I was the student who posted earlier that I got accepted into the masters program. My research field is robotics, I had one interview with a professor. I am pretty sure they send out decisions in batches so don't lose hope yet! Good luck to the other applicants!

Prof reached out in January, finally got the official offer.

No interview. Area: theory.

Area: Computer Architecture
