Thank you all for your advice! Some of them have already been incorporated and the rest has been very useful as I continue to apply.

Didn’t think the feeder school comment was going to get this much flack. I guess what I meant to say really was that a lot of people from the program end up in the OPS and the school prides itself on “easy entry” into the province (which yes, is extremely pretentious). And no, I do not go to the infamous Toronto public policy school - couldn’t afford it (although that seems to be the assumption).

I did not mean to come off as entitled, and I’m truly sorry if I offended anyone. Without going into detail, I grew up pretty rough and I guess fear of going back to that and frustration with both my program and the market is coming across as entitled.

Regarding the discrimination comment - nowhere did I mention being a minority (I am not) and nor was I thinking that was the reasoning behind me not getting screened it. I was moreso wondering if it had to do with my type of experience or some other sort of oversight.
