I don't think I emphasized that I would stay there enough, I didn't want to make up anything as I really am unsure where the future will take me (even though I would love to move back to Halifax or move to New Brunswick even) but I tried to be genuine and honest in my experiences. But congratulations to everyone else who got an invite, its a beautiful city and wishing you the best of luck. I mean I don't think it's entirely fair for them to have you emphasize that you would stay there the rest of your life, who knows what the future holds...the most they should be expecting is that you're honest and introspective But then again who knows what they're looking for in the essays, there's people with connections like yours that get rejected and sometimes people that have never been to the Maritimes that get invited so knows what it is exactly that they want Student98 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is so disappointing... I really thought I had a shot considering one of my colleagues got accepted into Dal last cycle and he had ZERO maritime connection and similar stats. garceyues, tryingtrying and sally1999 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NB9718 0 Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 IP Rejection (NB) MCAT: 505 GPA: 3.7 (UNB And MPH at MUN) Felt confident about CASPER, and did not receive the email about not meeting the requirement. Also received a rejection from MUN and think that CASPER may be the cause, although I have not heard from either school. Does anyone know the email address that we should contact? Thanks for your help everyone, good luck and I'll see you again next year! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
