I know it's super early but I figured we could use a thread like those from previous years to discuss applications, admissions (eventually), and anything else while we're waiting to hear results!
I'm applying to the Intermediate/Senior stream with teachables in Social Sciences and Geography. I'm in my fourth year studying psychology at McGill, my GPA's not great (3.29 last year, 3.22 overall), which is the main thing I'm concerned about with regards to my application.
I have 1800+ hours of teaching and related experience, including working full time over the past three summers running a math and science tutoring/exam prep program for grade 10 and 11 students in two Cree communities in Northern Quebec, and teaching summer school courses in the same communities during the past two summers. I've also done both volunteer and paid one-on-one tutoring, worked at a summer math camp, and facilitated workshops in high schools on a variety of topics (consent/sexual assault, mental health, etc.).
The MT is the only program I've applied to, so I'm pretty nervous!
