Since this helped me when I was applying, thought it might be helpful for future applicants :)

 

Accepted/Rejected/Waitlisted: A

GPA % (best two years): ~3.98 (idk what the percentage would be)

Accepted/Rejected/Waitlisted: HWL

GPA % (best two years): 92.27%

Current Year: 4th

DAT (AA/PAT/RC): 22/23/21

ABS: Diverse but did not fill out all sections. Lots of long-term commitments: School club where I worked my way up to club president, employment as a tutor for four years, lots of shadowing and some dental assisting, one research, some volunteering. Quality over quantity I guess!

Casper: 2Q

IP/OOP: IP

Interview thoughts: Very question and answer, not as conversational as I expected. Took some pauses here and there to think about the questions they asked, definitely felt like it could have gone a lot better. Was able to incorporate some personal experiences in some, but mostly tried to demonstrate how I felt in some of the situations and what my thoughts were; adding those personal touches definitely saved my interview a bit.

Hey friend I saw that you’re accepted at UofT! Congratulations. 
Just wondering if you’re accepting the HWL offer for UWO!

GPA: 92%

DAT SCORE: 26 AA/23 PAT/26 RC

Year of study: gap year

ABS: a bit of everything, but overall not the strongest. Didn't fill out anywhere near all the possible entries.

Casper: 4

IP/OOP: OOP

Interview thoughts: felt like it was just ok. I didn't really feel like my interviewers connected with me and there were definitely a few questions that could have gone better. I also feel like I rambled at times and found it hard to give personal examples. Wasn't super surprised that I was waitlisted tbh
