I got accepted to the University of Michigan and I didn't apply to any other schools(since that was all I wanted to go to). A few weeks before I go, I find out that they are reconsidering my admission because of poor senior year grades. I had to write in to explain why this was. I did in fact have a good reason, but if you write in saying that you played too much SC I don't think they will receive that very nicely. So yeah, just a word of advice. PS. U of M is awesome you should all come here! | ||

 Harvard: Rejected Stanford: Rejected Yale: Shortlisted then rejected  Chicago: Rejected Cornell: Waiting... (not too optimistic) GRE: 800 Quantitative, 680 Verbal, 5.5 Analytical GPA: No idea how SA conversions work. 84.5% average. Best mark in the honours year of about 100. Research: Nothing academic yet. Got eight educational books published though. Recommendations: The one lecturer I worked with the most didn't hand in any recommendations even after she promised to. Still pissed off about that. Other than that, got an author I worked with to do one, and the head of our research department who I've worked with a bit. Coursework: No math background, no economics background either. Plan: Didn't really expect to get in this year, I gave myself like a 35% chance of getting accepted by someone, and it doesn't seem like it will happen. So my goal is to get some research published and do an M this year while starting a course or two in statistics. Basically work on where I have some holes in my CV. Next application I'll apply for a few slightly smaller ones as well, this year was just to test the water a bit Still, frustrating! | ||

I did ~15 SAT1 practice tests in the month before the exam just cause i could BS school and ~1-2 of the subject tests for practice. its really not ><. my class is fricken insane lol, my 4.37 is like 17th. (out of 600) last year it woulda been top-10 ez. 6 AP's as junior and 13 overall for 17th. | ||

I'm surprised at all of you guys applying to so many places though. I only applied to University of Calgary and University of Waterloo. I got into both, and since my brother and a couple other friends were all in UW, I decided on being a UW homeskillet. | ||

Alberta is... alright, I suppose. It's more the small town that gets me, but honestly Calgary and Edmonton are not a whole lot better. There is a decent chance I will join you as a UW homeskillet On another note, I have a question for any McGill students. I know McGill is an English school, but it is in Montreal- how much of a deterrent would it be if you could, theoretically, speak very little French? | ||
