Oh I hadn’t thought about that, I was going to attend with my PJs on and my camera off LOL! What are everyone’s plans? 

Haha I was also planning on wearing my comfy clothes and keeping my camera off! It didn't say anything in the email about keeping our cameras on so I doubt there will be that expectation of us.

My ORPAS finally fixed the expiry date for the Western offer from the 8th to the 16th like its supposed to be in case anyone else was having the same problem

Hi! Is there any students on here who are currently at Western? Or does anyone know anyone who is? I have questions about what the program is like through COVID

Hi everyone,

I got rejected from everywhere I applied to (3 schools) for my first time applying and am so thankful to have had this forum to read throughout the application process. You can try to explain the competitive nature to family and friends but I have found so much comfort and validity to my stress reading through everyone's comments -- and the positivity and encouragement makes it impossible to be bitter knowing that so many people have tried 2-3 times to get in, acceptances are so well deserved.  To be honest, I have felt a little isolated in my stress and having to keep picking myself up because no one around me has gone through the same thing, so thank you to those who have shared stories and experiences. 

I wrote this yesterday to help process my rejections and instantly felt a little lighter, I hope those of you who didn't get accepted this year can find some light in it too. 

For months,

I awoke mid-sleep

My subconscious 

alight

Having dreamt

Of delight, 

acceptance

Finally, 

what I so deeply wished for

validity 

to all that I’d worked for. 

 

Rejected, 

Denied, 

Yet --

I am proud 

Of what grace

And self-

compassion

I have found, 

 

The push-pull

Of crippling 

self doubt 

And unwavering 

self belief; 

The balance

Of ambition 

And patience 

 

When the weight 

of uncertainty 

Felt too heavy to share, 

gratitude, 

made-up mantras 

aligned

to reset my mind. 

A testament 

To growth,

The reality -

Of 

Resiliency. 

 

Surrendering to defeat

Is not weak, 

if brief.

Fuelled by 

Fierce vision

And my why, 

I will rise, 

to honour

All that i’ve tried for, 

All that I have to give,

All that I can be. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wow, this is such a beautifully written poem. You are very talented and your attitude is inspiring. I wish you the best of luck in your future and if you choose to reapply next year.

Congrats! Was it like an entrance scholarship or did you need to apply for it? 

 

Thank you! I didn't apply for it but I received an additional letter along with my acceptance letter which explained that it was an award for academic excellence. It was a very pleasant and encouraging surprise!
