I gained A LOT more experience, I had an additional 3000 hours compared to when I applied last year (basically double). I am honestly shocked I got in after how tough last year was. I don't have super competitive grades either. My overall GPA was around 78/79% and in my last two years I had around an 88%.

Im already planning out how I can beef up my application for the third attempt.

Well done getting on the first try. Looks like I'm going on my third attempt after this round. What was your experience/CV like? To be fair to myself, I straight up thought I was going to be rejected last year so getting waitlisted was a shock. I guess I just have to fine tune the third application to the T.

I guess I just have to fine tune the third application to the T. 3000 hours from full time work, which was in the hospital/public health sector and also volunteering for an NPO and Crisis Line. Since I was waitlisted last time, it did give me a bit of hope that I was halfway to getting accepted and just needed to change a few things. For my personal statement, I spoke a lot less about my own experiences this time around, and spoke more about what I learned since my last application. I also had my friend look over it (english major) for editing HopeisthewaytoCope 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people will accept one offer first while still waiting for others. You can later reject the offer you accepted before if you hear good news from any other school.? The only thing is you may have to pay the deposit to keep a spot for that school. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogsmeador Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 On 3/19/2022 at 12:03 AM, Waiting4AdmissionDecisions said: Hey! I'm in my first year at UofT. My tuition (including all fees) was $11,189.99. Incidental fees were slightly higher this year than last - the actual program fee was the exact same as the one you found for 2020/21 (9,420). If you're applying to the two year program you have the option to take courses in the summer following your first year at no additional cost if you want. I'm not exactly sure if what you mean by first two semesters is fall/winter? Fees for next year wouldn't be out yet. this is for domestic students yes?

Still waiting to hear back from UBCV -- They still haven't updated the portal with my GRE and IELTS scores... I'm wondering was my application even considered lol -- what if the department didn't check my official scores or something. just over thinking these days and nothing else.
