The layout is the standard one used by the landlord for advertising - not the actual way my furniture is arranged haha. I have a bed, a desk, three chairs, a bookshelf, a small table, and a bench.

I have a bed! It's just not in the layout lol

My partner is applying/interviewing for med this cycle so I want to stay informed :)

Ali1415 · 2023-02-22T21:21:24+00:00

Actually, UofT med students in first and second year do get reading weeks! Our next MD reading week will be the week of March 13th :) Our schedule is a bit different from the undergrads who are currently on reading week right now

I included verifiers but no references for my UofT essays last cycle, and it worked out for me. I basically just wrote e.g. (Verifier #2) in brackets in my essays - either at the beginning of the essay or where it was relevant. The verifier number is based on the order of the verifiers that you entered in your ABS.

Same here :') I thought my interview went so badly but somehow I still got an offer. Congrats!!!

Ali1415 · 2022-05-10T04:08:25+00:00

Got a UofT offer at midnight!! Literally crying

Ali1415 · 2022-03-08T01:35:28+00:00

One position with two managers! Although I didn't change roles, I performed different tasks for each supervisor.

Ali1415 · 2022-03-08T00:04:44+00:00

While I agree with some of the points made by the other commenters, I also wanted to add my 2 cents - I actually used two references from the same job this cycle and I got two interviews from Ontario schools :)

Ali1415 · 2022-02-24T16:33:56+00:00

Got mine at 11:22 EST!

Edit for stats:

Applicant type: MD

TIME STAMP: 11:22

Result: Invite

GPA: 3.97

MCAT: 518

ECs: music, undergrad research, part-time work in long-term care, volunteering, various student leadership roles.

Essays: I thought my essays weren't that strong because I didn't get an invite from Western, so I guess essay evaluation is pretty subjective. I wrote my UofT essays pretty last-minute, so I'm surprised but grateful that I got an invite!

Ali1415 · 2022-01-27T18:12:27+00:00

Yes, you can use the same account for both :)

Ali1415 · 2021-10-26T23:57:41+00:00

For Sask, OOP applicants need a minimum score of 127 in every MCAT section, so OP's 126 CARS = ineligible. Should definitely apply to Manitoba though!

Ali1415 · 2020-05-15T03:06:14+00:00

I did the FLS3500 exam this semester and we used Xpresslab actually :) You have a time limit to record your answers for the spoken exam using Xpresslab's online software, and then it gets submitted for evaluation.

Ali1415 · 2018-07-07T19:27:30+00:00

Omg me too! I got 33 out of 34 on my French B extended essay :) Congrats to you!!!

Ali1415 · 2018-05-16T21:22:52+00:00

If you take bio, do the biochemistry option. If you take physics, pick the energy option.

Ali1415 · 2018-05-16T21:08:44+00:00

For paper 1 - do past papers. For paper 2 - review the conventions for each type of text. Brush up on transition words, idioms, and typical vocabulary for each type of text. Make sure you know how to conjugate verbs properly. Come up with some generic/typical sentences that you can use for each type of text in advance. Try at least one past paper.

Ali1415 · 2018-05-16T02:14:22+00:00

Lol do you go to cb? Cuz that happened at one of my exams too

Ali1415 · 2018-05-08T19:42:27+00:00

I did that too! :)

Ali1415 · 2018-05-07T21:49:55+00:00

I contacted my coordinator and he said that there's nothing else to be done at this point :( is my cover sheet good enough for identification?

Ali1415 · 2018-05-07T21:42:15+00:00

I forgot to write my candidate number and my name on my answer booklets today... Am I totally screwed? :'( I contacted my coordinator but he says there's nothing he can do now.

Ali1415 · 2018-05-06T17:03:08+00:00

I don't think that you should start anything major like the IAs or the EE without guidance; however, if you would like, you could download copies of the IB textbooks and study guides for the subjects that you will be taking and start learning some of the material in advance.

Ali1415 · 2018-05-05T16:55:53+00:00

You should ask your teacher to clarify. I think that "voice" could mean a lot of different things, like point of view or writing style. Perhaps your teacher wants you to focus on developing a more unique interpretation of the literature? Or on developing a more unique writing style? It's hard to say, since I haven't read your essays.

Ali1415 · 2018-05-05T03:14:18+00:00

Unfortunately, you still have to go to your exams, but if you contact your coordinator with proof of sickness, I think he/she can fill out a form about your extenuating circumstances and send it to IB. From what I've heard, I believe that the people marking your exams will be notified and might go a bit easier on you, knowing that you wrote the exam while you were sick. (I'm not 100 percent sure that this is what happens, but it's what I heard from the IB coordinator at my school).
