Just got into UT & western (waitlisted at Mac). Will be most likely be taking my spot for u of t so that should open up a spot at western and hopefully move some people up on the wait list at McMaster! Best of luck guys~
Rejection is definitely hard (whether or not it was anticipated; I went through that last year!).
Best of luck next year on applications! Taking a year to work on my CV/application DEFINITELY helped me & gave me a chance to grow :). Never give up if it's truly your dream~
