Domestic applicant, applied for the early round (November deadline), got the decision from the applicant portal.

prelim interview with PI in jan

Got an email saying the status of my application has changed and then checked the site and got an acceptance letter

got an email saying i was accepted. 2 years of undergrad research. direct entry to phd for organic. no publications. did not have an interview.

3.1 CUM GPA but 3.9 for fourth year. Applied very close to the deadline (May 13th and deadline was May 15th)

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! :)
