Hi everyone! Thanks for starting this thread! I'm applying to University of Toronto, University of Calgary, Windsor and Laurier 2-year programs and McGill's Qualifying Year. I have a pretty average GPA (3.1) from my BA at McGill University so I'm a bit worried about that. My final year is around 3.5. I worked with the Canada Border Services Agency (Customs) as part of the FSWEP while in university, working directly with travelers, so I got to interact with a diverse range of people entering Canada and take on a lot of responsibility. Since graduating 3 years ago, I've been working abroad as an English, Geography and History teacher. I've lived in Ukraine, Turkey and now China. I'm also group leader of the History and Geo dept. at my current job. These were all full-time paid positions. I'm worried that my work experience isn't that diverse plus I haven't done any recent volunteer work. I'm hoping my international experience and language skills (Eng, Fr, Mandarin) will help. I really have no idea what they're looking for. Part of me feels like I could be pretty unique and part of me feels like I don't have the right kind of experience or grades. I think I'd be a great fit for a MSW program but I'm not sure they'll agree with me! I'm looking to specialize in work with children and families. I especially want to work with immigrants and refugees. Anyway good luck to everyone
