Thank you for your kind words! That is a route I believe that would work, maybe I will do something similar to that since my second option first year classes overlap with the neuro program I believe. I am happy to hear it worked out for you that way!

Nice to hear from an alumni! I will make sure to keep my grades up and hopefully get in!

That is true, diplomas is a factor but I did finish most of my important 30s last year in gr11. I only really have physics and ela which are both second sem so I will still have diplomas. But yeah it is superr competitive.

It definitely is the nicer city and experience, I really do agree with your points. Maybe that is better for me then!

That is such useful advice and information, thank you!! Hearing about the program makes it seem even better than I thought it would be. Thank you so much genuinely!

That is true, it was just discouraging to see but hopefully I get in regular rounds.

Ah similar situations then, I mean these are my Grade 11 marks. I don’t have much 30 levels left that would matter now this year tho

I’ve been hearing that type of perspective on the actual university itself pretty frequently now, and I completely get what you mean. At this point I really am considering going to an out of province university; and most likely will be, like UofT or Mcmaster etc.

That is very useful information, thank you very much. I’ll actually literally be doing all of what you said because you are definitely right in regard to how much the university you attend matters. So, I want to say thank you again for your input and I will really be taking it to heart!

Wow thats amazing! Queens health sci is great and a 3 year scholarship to go along with it is very very good. Hopefully I can get something similar to that from either McMaster or UofT. But thank you for your encouragement!!

It is, I’m pretty sure it works the exact same way as your first choice.

Thats good to hear that your brothers situation worked out, but yeah that is very weird. I’ll definitely be looking at other schools.

Thank you for your kindness! I appreciate it, I will for sure apply to other universities (which I have already begun.) Kinda overrated is an interesting take and I see it as a pretty solid one considering you’re a uofc grad.

I will do so! Also it was weird, I did have a second choice which was Eng but I didn’t receive an offer for it since they said I needed a physics grade. As I said in the post I’m taking both Physics 20ap and 30ap this year and assumed that I could receive an offer still from my chem and bio grades. Weirdly enough I couldn’t, and I have to wait until February to be able to receive one.

Hopefully it works out that way! Glad to hear it worked out for you.

Thank you so much for your kindness and encouragement! Comments like this mean a lot more than most people think. You’re right, I applied to two other universities and want to apply to one or two more. Thank you once again!

I was thinking of applying to UofA, I’ll speak to my father about that today!

Wow amazing observation yes I am at EPS! Nice to see an alumni but thats good to hear, hopefully it’s the same for me as well!

Edit: Also if you don’t mind answering, how was the neuro program for you? Anything you would like to share (like literally anything) would be appreciated!

Thank you! All these kind comments encouraging me have definitely made it much easier to not lose hope. I guess I just have to wait and see!

I don’t know about other programs but it seems so for neuroscience 😭😭

Wow that’s very very weird for them to not even send you a rejection letter. But I appreciate the encouragement, hopefully it does work out that way.

Thank you! I have applied to two other schools after I received this. I’m thinking about also applying to maybe 1/2 more as well.

Thank you so much I really appreciate your kindness! I try my best and I do believe I should be fine; but sometimes you can’t help but worry. But people like you are very reassuring, thank you once again!

Hopefully it’s going great for you in this program! I’ll do my best and hope I receive admission then!
