Understanding admission timelines

This page explains the admissions cycle and decision statuses you will see as an applicant.

You can view your application status at any time in the Future Student Portal. You'll also receive an email whenever your application status changes or a new decision is made.

You may apply up to two programs. Each program is reviewed separately, and some programs may take longer to review than others. Admission to one does not affect evaluation of the other.

February to April

  • Early Admission applicants continue receiving offers


Admission decisions are based on  competitive averages, which are determined by:

  • The number of applications received for each program,

  • The number of seats available, and

  • The competitive averages presented by applicants in the pool.

As a result, some applicants will receive decisions before other applicants who applied around the same time. Those with higher competitive averages are typically offered admission first, while those whose averages are closer to the cut-off may experience a longer wait as evaluations continue and program waitlists are established.
