I did not! I'm based in vancouver and am really able to move for a variety of reasons.
i'm older (29), have a masters in history from NYU (with applicable academic experience), work as a management consultant full time and own a company that i operate on evenings/weekends. no direct planning experience or fields of study (other than what i did in history). 3.95 gpa in my masters, 79% CGPA from western (much higher average in upper level courses). think i flubbed my interview, but would love to know what successful applicants profile is like? will definitely be re applying next year and hoping there's things i can accomplish between now and then to make myself more competitive
also - does anyone have any insight into whether the interview was really the critical component of the application? or just another part of it?
many thanks everyone, and again my heartfelt congratulations to those of you who were accepted!!!
