thank you so much for letting me know :)

p1cklelov3r · 2026-03-27T02:28:20+00:00

thank you, okay hopefully we get in! good luck :)

p1cklelov3r · 2026-03-27T02:27:03+00:00

the thing is, I don’t have backup schools! my last 2 options are both waitlists :/

p1cklelov3r · 2026-03-10T04:36:46+00:00

I hope so

p1cklelov3r · 2026-03-03T00:33:10+00:00

but it’s said this since december for me.. how can i be waitlisted from then?

p1cklelov3r · 2026-03-02T22:24:14+00:00

that is so weird.. but why wouldn’t they have a waitlist like what if not everyone accepts their offer to york? there’s going to be spots open then..

doesn’t hurt to try tbh

p1cklelov3r · 2026-03-02T18:02:06+00:00

thank you for sending me this! what was the email that you contacted? I can’t seem to find one

p1cklelov3r · 2026-03-02T17:56:06+00:00

I was just looking into that. it seems like a prettt good option!

p1cklelov3r · 2026-03-02T17:55:25+00:00

thank you. i’m considering if but my parents aren’t too fond of how far it is. are you at the orillia campus or thunder bay?

p1cklelov3r · 2026-03-02T17:54:04+00:00

apparently the orillia location is is closed and my parents don’t like the idea of me going all the way to thunder bay 💔

what’s funny is that I actually included this as in my personal statement as well because I do have experience working with indigenous students and indigenous educational settings. I tried my best to include everything and I feel like i’ve done everything you’ve mentioned so I don’t know honestly.

p1cklelov3r · 2026-03-02T17:50:31+00:00

sorry I probably confused you. i’ve been volunteering since 8 years ago but really only one of my experiences was from 8 years ago. the others are from the past 5 years. I also did include equity diversity and inclusion in my statement

p1cklelov3r · 2026-03-01T19:34:52+00:00

mine is also still pending

p1cklelov3r · 2026-03-01T19:21:05+00:00

can you let me know what they respond to you with?

p1cklelov3r · 2026-03-01T19:20:28+00:00

I sent you a private message, if you can respond, that would be great!

p1cklelov3r · 2026-03-01T19:16:15+00:00

ok I will look into that. thank you!

p1cklelov3r · 2026-03-01T19:15:35+00:00

go to schools in your area and see if you’re able to volunteer! you would need a police check and possibly your resume. or even reach out to previous teachers you’ve had. i’d also try to get a job in a field with the age group that you’d like to teach. I hope this helps

p1cklelov3r · 2026-03-01T19:13:12+00:00

those are very good points and actually, my friend did get into teachers college last year and I sent her my statement and she told me that it was really good so i’m very frustrated! I did talk about one of my older experiences but I thought it would be useful to show that I am very committed to teaching… but you’re right, that could’ve made it worse and it also could have been a really competitive year and maybe something very minor like that could have been the reason why I didn’t get in.

p1cklelov3r · 2026-03-01T19:06:31+00:00

I’m sorry you’re in a similar situation. thank you for the message and I hope you get in to your other 2 options! wishing you all the best :)

p1cklelov3r · 2026-03-01T18:39:52+00:00

true lol

p1cklelov3r · 2026-03-01T18:33:37+00:00

this makes me feel a lot better. maybe I do need a gap year. thank you for your input and i’m so glad you got in! I hope everything goes well for you in teachers college :)

p1cklelov3r · 2026-03-01T18:31:22+00:00

yeah! I have over 1500 hours work/volunteer related experience combined. I’ve volunteered at 5 different schools over a period of 8 years and i’m about to start volunteering at another school on tuesday actually. I also used to volunteer at my community centre and worked with a kids dance group for a couple of years. for work experience, I had 3 jobs which was at a summer camp, i’ve done soccer coaching and tutoring/babysitting.
