  1. Both are true. PB has a lot of perks, but if you really cannot commute, then picking WB first will maximize your chance of getting a site downtown.
  2. UofT has two masters programs. a M. Eng and a M. Sc. A decent number of people in my grade are doing them (maybe 20 in total or so)? It seems like a cool opportunity if you have the time for it.
  3. This was a while ago but posting in case future applicants find it helpful Result: Accepted to St. George Campus Timestamp: May 8th, around 930am GPA: 3.94 (illegible for wGPA) MCAT: 520 (130/129/130/131) ECs: some casual research, some work in an emergency department (basically scribing), various leadership positions in student organizations, volunteering at a mental health line, worked for my parents' small business and in the hospitality industry for a bit. Overall not that impressive, not that much research, not that much leadership. I avoided getting involved in many clubs in UG since I didn't really resonate with any of them. Essays: wrote them the week of, edited them the night before (pulled an all nighter editing/finishing them, finished at around 9am lol). Overall I felt pretty good about them but it could have been the late-night delirium. I focused on clusters for the ABS essays and on storytelling/narration in the question prompt essays. Probably the strongest part of my app, since I was below average for the rest of the criteria. Interview: One was really bad, stumbled on an ethical scenario that I couldn't articulate well. One other one went okay, and two I felt went very well. The best advice I received going in was to be an overly-confident, slightly better version of yourself. Interviewed at Mac without this advice (focusing on analysis and question response frameworks instead of who I was) and got wrecked there. Year: 3rd year UG Geography: IP
  4. Applied: Queens UofT McMaster Ottawa interviewed: UofT Mac man every day that passes drags on forever. I don’t think my interviews went that great so I’m so worried. Did anyone else find that UofTs interview was way more enjoyable than macs?
