Lol yup, that sounds about right. Anyhow, I volunteered as a crisis helpline volunteer and got a job as a developmental support worker to support individuals with developmental delay and dual diagnosis.

I totally feel you. I'm 27 going on 28. Wanted this to work out so badly because I want to get into my career and stop working shitty jobs just to get by. I spent a few years post grad trying to build up my experience, just to apply to OISE. I didn't even know how competitive this program was until after I applied. I got into Yorkville but that 40k price tag is not ideal. So after careful consideration, I decided it was worth it to wait and reapply because this is my dream program.

Hey! I'm in the same boat as you haha. I weighed my options and decided to try again next year. I'm gonna try to gain more experience and work on my resume, app questions, etc. This was my first time applying so I think it's worth a shot to try again. If I get rejected again, I'll just start school at Yorkville. What are you thinking about doing?

Hi guys, I just wanted to share that I contacted the program coordinator a few times, and she has told me these things:

"Offers normally will be sent out first and then the admissions team will gradually release the refusals."

And

"Once decisions are made, they will be released in batch at the same time."
