Congratulations to everyone who was accepted so far!!! Such a huge accomplishment. I have been accepted to Western and Mcmaster on my first time applying BUT my situation was slightly unique. I applied to Dal two years ago and was waitlisted. Then I applied one year ago and was rejected. I was so devastated last year and felt so silly for only applying to one school. I can totally relate to the overwhelming emotions of defeat and confusion when a rejection happens.
If anyone needs some guidance, someone to talk to, or help with applications, please feel free to message me. I am totally open to sharing my stats / providing feedback on applications.
