So just found that for class of 2020 the EA stats were:

713 Applicants
196 Appointments

Which would be about 2/3 of the class coming from EA?

There are always individuals offered after the April date although they will usually be on the waitlist. I don’t think I have heard of someone who got rejected later receiving an appointment in the same academic year.

So, if we don’t hear anything before or on April 1, is it safe to assume a TWE is in the mail?

Is it possible to hear anything over the weekend? Or should we just distract ourselves until Monday, and amp our anxiety then!? Not-so-patiently waiting. Also, if we do not hear anything up to and including 1 April, is that a for-sure no? Could there be an opening in the coming weeks? Thank you. Best of luck to all of us still waiting.

I believe I read a post last week from two people that they received an update to their portal late at night on the weekend.

I’m with you. I definitely didn’t know that. My son was originally in the EA pool but asked that his app be pulled to RA so he could work on improving his fitness score and possibly there was one other item he wanted to improve, I can’t recall. Hopefully that wasn’t the wrong strategy!

I am sorry. You did your best, and to get this far, please be proud of yourself. How often were you checking the portal, and where did you see it?

Of course I’m proud and I’m glad I took the chance to apply! Plan B and C are already set up and in motion. I checked the portal religiously up to 6 times a day. Almost any time I opened my laptop or browser on my phone. I saw that all check boxes except the evaluation board were gone and that one remained check and it led me to my decision.

So sorry. We completely know the feeling ( my DD had applied last year and sadly her journey did not end the way she hoped)...But, her plan B (MMI) has been a wonderful experience and she reapplied this year (no word yet). I wish you success and if you really want it, reapply next year. You will only be the wiser in another year. Best of luck.

EA vs RA appointments are not broken down in the class of 2024 stats. For 2024, total number of appointments offered was 418 out of almost 2,000 completed applications , with an ending class of 266 plus 6 international students. If number of appointments from EA is same for 2024 as 2020, then fewer than half come from EA. It would be interesting to see if the acceptance percentage is the same for both groups.

Remember that the number of appointments offered does not equate to yield - the number of appointments accepted. So in a class of 285 (taken from the rejection letter posted in this thread), you’d need to have more than 1/3 more appointees just to get to 285 (196 + 65 = 261j. And that’s assuming that 100% of the EA candidates offered appointments end up accepting them, which of course won’t be the case. So there’s definitely more room than 1/3 of the class for the waiting RA candidates to fill. How much more, I don’t know since I don’t have any idea what the CGA yield figures normally are or, even if I did, whether they’d hold true in a COVID admission cycle. Keep thinking positively and good luck to everyone waiting!

What checkboxes? I don’t see anything like that on my portal
