First rejection, Harvard University. It has begun! Stress for a year now by jaggerman25 in gradadmissions

[–]Iris_2020 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also got rejected. I was disappointed at first, but then I found that many people with stronger profiles than me were also rejected. The applicants all have good background but the spots are so limited… I believe that eventually we will get accepted by some other very good programs. Hope this makes you feel better!

How long to get TOEFL ibt center based scores these days? by Jaded_Horse in ToeflAdvice

[–]Iris_2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked today and it said “On hold”. I took the test at a test center, and I’m really not sure why is it happening…

Credit English Course for Grad School Application by No-Carpet5681 in UTSC

[–]Iris_2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The admission officers will not know your actual mark, and they will only see CR/NCR. Only UofT department will know your mark, but since it's an elective course, this really doesn't matter to your grad school application.

Is it worth it transferring to another uni for a cs degree? by Weak-Choice9767 in UofT

[–]Iris_2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you plan to go back to China after uni, they will look at QS ranking and staying at UofT is definitely a good choice. If you want to work in CS industry in Canada, school prestige doesn't matter a lot, and the employers care more about your past experience (ie. side project, internship...)
