@pali123 thanks. Besides my low GRE verbal, I feel that my GPA (cumulative 3.73, major 3.88) is not even closely comparable to most of the applicants in the states lol I did not do well in the first year apparently because I went to too many parties , and I did not even know US schools take 4 years' GPA instead of the last two years which Canadian schools consider. Anyway, do you know how important the first year GPA is for the application, and when will they send out interviews ? Thanks a lot
