I have a question regarding GPA / Average that the school uses to qualify... Example: I have a B GPA U of T asks that each applicant has a minimum of a 70% in final year. My final year average is an 81%. Do they look at your GPA or solely rely on the average that they have requested for (last year)? ... and this waiting game is beginning to be torture. I feel like my life is on stand still until I hear from schools...

Thanks ! And wow! Well it seems that Windsor is going well for timing for the 1 year if I'm correct? So hopefully that will hold me over until the long April wait

I completely agree with you! I am just happy that we can keep our sanity by seeing that other people are going through what we are going through. As for my preference for Laurier, I want to go there mainly for the CPPO program it offers. Although I want to focus on gerontology, I want to learn more about the social problems and how I am able to create change in the governing policies. Although U of T is an incredible school, I have just always been drawn to the CPPO program at Laurier and I feel that it would really prepare me for my choice of career. But either way I would be happy to get into both schools. Windsor on the other hand is 4 hours away from my house and my "back up" school. I would still be excited to enter the program but the thought of living 4 hours away from my home is stressful in itself. Also, I just read your post about having faculty who share the same interests as you. This is one reason that U of T is attracting me because there is a faculty member who shares the same research focus as me. (Elder abuse and prevention/response interventions). So another reason why deciding schools is that much more difficult... I mean I guess I should wait until I find out if I get in before I drive myself crazy deciding between the schools lol

Hi Everyone! I'm a long time reader but first time posting. I need to talk to someone else about this waiting game because I think I and driving my family and friends crazy! I've applied to the 2 year program at U of T, Windsor and Laurier. My first choice is Laurier, then U of T and then Windsor. Congrats to all of you who have heard back and good luck to everyone who is waiting it out!! Its so nerve racking that the 2 year applicants will hear back soon!! , Even though I know I won't be hearing back just yet I still check my email a couple times daily, and offer to get the mail daily... ugh the stress of this season.
