Congrats!!

You think this year the masters have been given a bigger weight? Like those who completed their masters? I'm wondering if people who completed a professional masters have maybe a higher chance to get accepted?

probably. technically my master is in Public Health (specialized in epidemiology) it's from a French university

I can’t believe it! I ended at 1-3 spots (not sure exactly) to get an acceptance at another University last year after many years at university and I was so frustrated. Really happy to get another chance. It’s crazy to see so many people with amazing stats being rejected. I hope the best for you in the future, I’ve known the pain of rejection soooo many times…

Bonjour tout le monde, 

Je suis nouvelle sur le forum. Je viens de voir sur mon minerva "Further Review Required", est-ce que ça veut dire que c'est une invitation ou non? Seriously, après avoir vu tous vos profils avec des expériences très impressionnantes, je doute d'avoir eu une invitation. 

Anyway, it is nice sooooo nice to have a forum like this to get more info. Wish you all best of luck!!!

Amelie :)

Guys!!! I need help!!!

What can I improve in my application to be able to get an interview at least?!

Is it because of my Casper you think? looks like Casper is much more important than the 20%...

or is it because there was a gap between my graduate studies and application? maybe I had to submit an EC letter to explain the gap...

Hello @Laly20,

Je te remercie d'avoir pu me répondre car j'avais un doute. 

Alors mon profil n'est justement pas top top comparativement aux autres. That's why I was so confused, à moins que j'ai une forte tendance à me sous-estimer peut-être. Mais si tu veux plus de détails, je peux l'afficher sans souci :). Et toi, as-tu pu appliquer cette année? Si oui, as-tu eu une invitation? Je cherche des gens avec qui commencer à me pratiquer, pour former un groupe de 3 (rotation avec l'interviewer, l'interviewé et l'observateur).

Also, @The Doctor  I just saw your post on the discord app. If you still looking for people to practice I am down ;).

 

Have a nice day u all

I feel you it's so hard to figure out where you need to improve since they don't breakdown your stats like they did in previous years. In my opinion, you have great ECs but your casper might hold you back. You should be proud of yourself, rooting for you !

By the way, me too, I'll take any suggestions. Anyone wants to go over my application or CV ? I would really appreciate. At this point, I feel so clueless on what they're looking for.
