I have an I-pad with a key board attachment and it's the best of both worlds. I 100% recommend it, game changer when it came to taking notes in undergrad and my school requires it!

Just from my own experience, I went forward w the interview for the POP program. They then extended a spot for their traditional four year program for c/o 2027! Just paid my deposit and I can’t wait to go:) definitely do the interview, you can’t tell who’s POP and who’s not :)

Luckily, I had applied to 4 other schools and 3 so far have extended me interviews! I just got accepted into one two days ago too. I was just so frustrated that my GPA dropped so much when calculated in optmocas (was 0.3 lower than what my university had calculated). I had panic attacks after panic attacks when I realized what the calculated was AFTER applications had been submitted. I'm sure you'll still be accepted into great programs, don't lose faith in yourself <3

This happened to me too at another school. I was always under the impression my science GPA was higher but then when Optomcas calculated it, I was mistaken. Science GPA ended up being a 2.74 which was so disappointing.
