Hey everyone! Wishing you all lots of good luck this year with your applications and (hopefully!) acceptances! A little about me: Graduated from University of Toronto in 2019 with a BSc (Hons.). I double majored in Human Biology and Molecular Biology, finishing with a cGPA of 3.4 (my last two years have a cGPA of 3.75 though!). While at U of T I went on a fully funded research trip to the Netherlands through a seminar I took to explore long term care models and geriatric health compared to the Canadian system. Ended up presenting a poster on it. I've been working as an assistant manager at a private psychiatry clinic in Toronto since August 2019. Part of my role involves research that we undertake through the clinic - I have submitted a paper to a couple of journals this winter and we are in the midst of performing clinical trials for a new psych treatment that's on the market. Other work experience includes a 2 year position as a camper health coordinator at a summer camp during university! I applied last year (before I started my job and got that experience) and was waitlisted at all 3 schools, not receiving news from Queen's until after I had started my job. This year I've applied to U of T, Western, McMaster, Waterloo (part time only) and Ottawa. My boyfriend and I are hoping to move to Ottawa this fall for an investment opportunity so I'm really hoping to get into Waterloo or Ottawa! Just finished all of my applications today so I'm feeling the jitters now!
