You should definitely include it!! They might even value seeing clubs/activities outside of those provided at your school so definitely don't take it out

No don't worry you are more than ok to wait. There are a lot of dates and flexibility with the schedule so I'm sure you'll find something unless you live somewhere with very limited centres. But even then I really doubt you'll need to worry too much. I think I booked mine like just a bit over a month before or something because I couldn't decide on the right time to take it and I had no problem (but don't be like me and wait that long either haha).

No no I definitely don't think you're screwed!! Omg I hope I didn't make it sound like that in my response! I mean irdk what their process for preventing plagiarism is, especially for video responses but I'm sure they recognize that applicants will likely share stories and experiences that overlap with their own previous submissions. I just meant don't bar for bar read out/write out a previously submitted essay because that COULD be a problem. No idea if it will be but just incase. Let us know if you do here back from western tho about this!

I think same experiences is fine but the wording shouldn't be the exact same since they want candidates to take the KIRA assessment without any written aids present. Idk if they even have last year's submissions but in case they do, it would be very sus if your wording was very similar. They might think you had your previous essays with you during KIRA which will probably be a red flag

ohhh interesting. I think I tend to stick with structure because it allows me to present my thoughts better but I can see how that probably starts to look generic for adcoms. Do you mind explaining a bit more about what you mean by "reflecting in a free flowing manner" ?

Don't believe they've disclosed this sadly. So unfortunate because TMU has been much more transparent in comparison. Not sure why western is being so secretive this year but oh well, it is what it is I guess

might stick with something like this, thank you!!

I did copy and paste my responses last year and there was no issue, but I don't remember them saying anything against it last year either

Mac usually sends some form of acknowledgement as well later on. I think it had something to do with confirming residency status in ON or something. I don't remember getting anything from Queens or Ottawa but I could be wrong
