boourns Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Knew it was a long shot - not surprisingly rejected. Kind of expected it but am still kind of down. Rejected wGPA: 3.61 Verbal: 8 Extra-Curriculars: I believed to be stellar - lots of volunteering with leadership positions, lots of research (5 first author publications in mid-high impact journals and 12 conference presentations/abstracts), and lots of major scholarship money ($200000) but it was clearly not enough.

kylamonkey Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Invited... will update soon with stats IP (territories) 3.75 (with 10-yr-rule applied and worst year dropped) VR 11 (33R-11/11/11) ECs are above average according to my app from last year. I'm honestly having trouble typing. I am really excited. I was not looking forward to tonight because I thought I would not sleep. Seriously. I think I added it up today and this is my first ever invite with ~16 applications to various schools over the years. My first application was in 2007 to UBC and I wasn't even eligible but they took my money and scored it anyways. Plan Polar Bear seems to be a success. Also adding- I feel honoured to have kind of a "fan club". Thanks for the well wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
