  1. What I had to do to make my application more attractive when I started applying to grad school--and from what I understand, it did work, I've certainly gone from a first-round rejection to a waitlist/last minute 'circumstances' toss so far--was go back to school and take more undergrad courses in my discipline. I just did them at my local university, although I have applied there in the past for grad school as well. Even if your GPA from undergrad isn't great, chalk up a few strong As and some fresh writing now and you look like a more committed student, which of course is what they want. I also stumbled across a research assistant opportunity when I went back, which certainly didn't hurt. So if you want to apply again, that is my advice, which is secondhand because that's what I was advised to do.
  2. I'm still waiting on UBC and UVic Linguistics MA programs. Today I cracked and sent the UBC Ling secretary an email begging for a decision timeline. Hopefully she responds.
  3. I'm on my third time. And my last time. I'm tired of waiting around and if the third time isn't the charm then I'm going to take the hint.
  4. Welcome to Queen's, you will experience more of this.
