What a great late birthday present. I am in such a state of shock that I keep checking to ensure the email was not a mistake, as it was in my Junk folder.

Location: OOO (IP)
Stream: English
wGPA: 3.94
Current year: Finished UG last year; working
ECs: Nothing out of the ordinary, I think, though it is my second year getting an invite. Many academic awards (though they only look at top 3 and my quantity was more impressive than quality IMO). Three employment (family company - extensive hours but not sure how much value they give it; TA for a semester; RA current job (only 3/4 months into the job at time of application)). Two research projects that are different enough that it may be unique, but no pubs (e.g. one more physical/biological science, another more social/policy). Lot of volunteering - in general, the community that I tried to serve was the same, but the ways I helped were many and different (writing in local paper, advocating, tutor, mentor, camp, etc). Typical university involvement and hobbies - running, intramurals, school clubs, etc.
