You've got his syntax down, but it's time you learn Yoda's best lesson: Do or do not. There is no try.

You *really* should try to have all 8 filled out IMO. Even if one is weak. They do not simply take an average of the essays you write (otherwise 4 would be as good as 8). They also encourage this in the instructions IIRC. IMO you should get to work right now finding better experiences for Western's ABS. Even though your GPA is great, that actually doesn't matter for interview invites. It's just a cutoff pre-interview. It all depends on the essays.

I definitely should have, maybe could have given a small but better chance, who knows. Next time around I'll definitely have your comment ringing in my head to do everything I can when I apply. Since I'm graduating this year I am going focus on gaining more experience and keeping up with personal training + Hospice volunteering. Are you a current medical student or an applicant as well?

Also what are you inferring with your first sentence? I did not quite understand exactly what you may have intended.

Thanks! I just double-checked and emailed them. It's wierd because one of my verifier was contacted last year so I was sure I met the cut-off.

 

I'm wondering if it's still an R but they put the wrong reason in the email? Giving the speed they sending out invites this year maybe they have some tech issues as well?

Do you mind telling if you were born in Ontario? Because it looks like it’s really hard to get in as OOP
