Dent08, thanks for your help. I actually tried to look for it from their website. I guess I overlooked them. But anyways, Thank you so much for providing the information.

 

It seems my chance of getting in both NWO and UT are very slim.

 

I am a BC resident and UT only accepted 4 out of province students. I have little chance of getting in UWO since they accepted 1 BC resident this year and 6 students with BSC only.

 

The situation gets worst since UBC does not place quote on out of province spots starting this year

uwo accepted at least 2 bc residents this year (probably more) .... snoop and shakur are both residents of bc - and in the class of 09
