ECs: I will edit later, kind of freaking out

 

Edit: is anyone else's email cut off at the left hand side of the email? Basically the first word of every sentence is cut off for me. I can still make sense of the email, just strange.

wGPA: 3.76 
Current year: 4th year UG
ECs: Varied - lots of research, community work, very involved in the youth musical community in my city.

 

In shock. This is my ultimate dream. Je suis tellement excitée! Particularly with my GPA - I know that applying through the francophone stream helps, but I was honestly not expecting this whatsoever.

 

ETA: I thought my CASPer went rather terribly. ;)

Location: IP? (I'm from OOP but had attended 3 years at U of T by the time of my application)
Stream: English
wGPA: 3.99
Current year: Completed 3rd year UG, doing full year internship at the moment so not technically in 4th year
ECs: Not much volunteering (tutored some kids in 1st year), lots of employment (a few internships at various software companies, couple TA positions in 3rd year), took several research courses and did some research over the summer, had some personal software related side projects, lots of academic scholarships, no club involvement, no healthcare related ECs

CASPER: Went okay but I felt like I ran out of time on most questions. Must've gone okay cause I got an interview at Mac as well.

Invite/Rejection: Regrets (but will contact you if vacancies open)

Date Stamp: 28/01/2016 - 11:10 AM
Location: IP, OOO
Stream: English
wGPA: 3.93
Current year: MSc
Eps: Felt that they were at/above average but maybe I should reconsider my Top3. 

CASPER: Articulated thoughts but maybe I could have done better (CASPer SIMs were good but who knows!?)

 

Said they'd contact me if vacancies open.

 

Feeling a little shocked, really thought that I spent a lot of time on these and that I had a decent shot. Oh well, better luck next year.

 

Best of luck to all those that got the nod for an interview!
