Hi everyone! I just applied a week ago to the MPhil. Would really appreciate if you could tell me a timeline for the response process. Btw, did anyone get in?

I'm probably on their waitlist because they sent first round rejections and acceptances at the end of January. Still no news yet!

Hiya - I'm in the same position as you. I applied about 2 weeks ago. Would be good to hear from anyone who has made it past the Department Review stage and how long it took to receive an update :smile:

May I ask if you emailed them and asked, or did they just send you this unsolicited email?

3.8+/4.0 gpa at top Canadian, no gre/gmat, double majored in economics and a super niche humanities discipline (was student rep/exec). 2 internships related to consulting, a few consulting clubs & projects throughout the years, 2 strong rec letters, school orchestra. My bg wasn’t too strong, but fortunately I’ll be joining a big four this fall.

I don’t think it’s too heavily based on stats though, I’ve seen multiple acceptances in January (on a non-english website) and people had around a 3.7. I think they want a more diverse class in terms of past disciplines. I’ve seen a bio, cs, and eng lit major get an offer.
