Hey Student, So I\u2019m under waiting list. I called them because that is what the internet\u00a0told me to or even to send an email. I\u2019m currently part of Top 5 within the\u00a0list. They refresh the list every month. I know this might be a stupid\u00a0question but I just want re-assurance with a stranger that maybe I\u2019ll get\u00a0in. They said I\u2019m in Top Five and chances are good. Its only April and I\u00a0have until August to know if I got in or not. I just get really anxious\u00a0because I really do want to get in and its my first choice. Thought I\u2019d email you about it and hear an input. I\u2019ve never been\u00a0wait-listed before. Sincerely yours, Anxious person. \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 hey there, it\u2019s not a stupid question. unfortunately, there are a lot of things you can be waitlisted for at uoft, and you haven\u2019t specified what your situation is. have you been waitlisted for a course? a program of study? admission to an undergraduate program? a graduate program? i\u2019m not sure. given the time of year, however, i\u2019m gonna take a shot in the dark and assume that you\u2019re talking about undergraduate admission. i understand that you want reassurance. hey, sometimes a stranger\u2019s reassurance is the best\u00a0kind of assurance, because you can be certain that a stranger has no ulterior motive in reassuring you. and i know that being put on a wait list can place\u00a0a terrible weight on your shoulders (see what i did there?). unfortunately, because i am a stranger \u2013 and more importantly, a stranger who has no part in making\u00a0admissions decisions \u2013 i have no information\u00a0to go on. i don\u2019t know what your marks look like, or what program you\u2019re applying to, so i can\u2019t even begin to guess how likely you are to be accepted off the waitlist. if you haven\u2019t already, i\u2019d recommend you get in touch with enrolment services (if indeed this is a question about undergraduate admissions). if you\u00a0call them, you can have a specific discussion about marks and your prospects \u2013 though they may just tell you to wait until August, so be prepared for that. nonetheless, they\u2019re a lot more equipped to handle your question than i am. just keep in mind: enrolment services is incredibly busy and you may be on hold for a while if you choose to call them. but they\u2019re definitely the people you want to be talking to. cheers, aska<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16911","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-admissions"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16911","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=16911"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16911\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=16911"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=16911"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=16911"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
