superconnected Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Invited 1. IP 2. 4th year at UBC 3. 3.73 (that conversion chart for % grades is brutal!) 4. 12 VR (11/12/13/R) 5. ECs: Average I think? Research with publications, worked in healthcare for 2 years, ran my own small company while at school, had a corporate summer job with significant responsibility, worked in a research lab abroad for Co-op, a couple clubs at school and 3 awards. But almost zero volunteerism (1x a week for 3 months a couple years ago). I'm so relieved! I only had 2 reference letters submitted because one referee missed the submission deadline. If anyone is wondering, missing reference letters will NOT doom your application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
