Rholmen Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 The pre-interview invite dread is starting to set in and I'm not sure what my next steps should be. I'm applying to Ualberta and U Calgary this cycle and I'm anticipating rejections. With a 3.7~ and 126/127/126/132 I'm slightly below average. I'm in a gap year and I've been getting some valuable work experience in disability support but i doubt it's enough to make up for my poor stats. I've got a bit of irrelevant research experience, supervisory work experience, a lot of athletics, and lackluster volunteering (which is a nightmare to get right now). I'd love to go for a master's but unfortunately that's just as impractical for me because most programs only count your last two years of your GPA and I shit the bed with a 3.2 in my third year. I'm not in a rush to get in and I'm happy to put the work in to get where I need to be, but i genuinely just don't know what to do next. The last thing i want to do is get a post-grad if I don't need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishing you the best of luck this cycle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
