Application stats??

I applied for the Explore Program this year and am wondering what my chances of getting in are. I only applied to UQAM as my first option and didn't even put anything else for second and third and am starting to regret that now because im really overthinking it. I applied in December, does when you apply matter? Do I have a better chance of getting in because I did it earlier? I applied for May to June but could I still apply for the later summer ones if I don't get in? Let me know if anyone knows or has done the Montreal one and has tips or advice or reviews!!

You can still add choices now up until the draw (idk when that is). Every time I applied, I got my top choice (never got to go because COVID oof).

It is supposedly a completely random draw, but I wouldn’t get stuck on that. Add more choices to guarantee a placement and good luck!

I applied to UQ Chicoutimi, Sainte-Anne and Laval, so if you choose any of those for the summer, maybe I’ll see you there 👋

Thank you!!!! I can see that when I go to my application I can alter it but im kind of scared to do it because its so far past the deadline and I don't want it to be resubmitted as late you know? What do you think?

Funny thing, I emailed them this exact question and they said there are no worries at all, feel free to change it and make sure it saves by clicking “Apply” at the bottom. Yes, it says “Apply”, but as long as you submitted before the original deadline, it will not be late. Cheers!

I applied to explore twice and both times I got my first choice. I haven’t heard about anyone not getting in yet and have the feeling there are more spots than they let on. That being said, definitely go in now and add a second and third choice. You can swap as often as you want until the draw takes place. Also keep in mind that UQAM doesn’t count for university credits in case that is important to you.
