I only applied to Mac Life Science in late April, but I was accepted 3 days later . From what I remember (for people who actually applied on time), early acceptances were in mid/late-February or early March.

I got my acceptance in the mail over march break...since they no longer do it via paper...I imagine Soc Sci would be beginning-ish of March now via email.

I got mine February or early March, I don't remember exactly. McMaster was the last one I got though and it was the one I wanted most so I remember being anxious about it, especially since I believe it was York sent out theirs super early so I was waiting all that time since that acceptance to hear from McMaster.
It can take a while though, I know lots of people were sweating it out through May though.

I got the acceptance e-mail on February 29th, I'll never forget. Then I got the package about a week later. McMaster was also the first one to contact me, then Ryerson, then York and finally U of T. UofT is always late, so if you applied there, put your waiting boots on.

I got my acceptance on February 18th.. surprisingly I remember the exact date. But to make you feel better, I applied ~ around Dec 19th, and my first acceptances started coming out in early-mind January to schools like York, Waterloo.. My top 3 though, didn't come until Feb/March. So I definitely wouldn't be worrying about it too much! Especially for Kin, my friend who applied last year, got it around March, since they get a lot of applications, and can only allow a certain number of students in (~300, I believe), so it takes time for them to be able to see first semester marks as well as midterm marks for semester 2, and pick out the best applicants.
Hold on! You're almost there !

I got mine in February, I have no idea how the hell I got accepted so early because my marks weren't anything special so you might get accepted fairly early on.

I was accepted into the kinesiology program the beginning of march. Although, I know a few people with marks over 90 that were accepted the end of february. I think what took the extra week was that marks just hit the top of the given range, whereas those were accepted before me I think were above the range.
Hope that helps! Good luck!

For engineering in '06, I got my letter around my birthday in mid-April, around the middle of my other 3.
Good luck!

U of T was actually the first canadian school that accepted me. I got my acceptence for both engineering and life sci from them around early february.
Mac was really late (around mid march)

I got accepted to both life sci and kin at mac in february but I had done an extra year at high school so i had final marks for everything required (and more) except Bio, and my grades were pretty high. But I wouldn't worry. As long as you are a few percentages over the expected cut off, you should get in.
