I am freaking out and having serious doubts.. Wednesday come faster, please!
me tooo
. ugh i keep feeling like my gpa will not be good enough...does anyone know whether they revisit gpa in final considerations? or is it all interview and rc/wt?me tooo
Same here, we are on the same boat 78-79ish.. but like everyone said before, its a clean slate from after interview selections and its rare that they look at marks again
I'm nervous and excited.. but it needs to be Wednesday NOW!
then why do they ask for our winter marks?
They just want to make sure you didn't have something go terribly awry in your last semester, I think. For example, they might want to make sure you hadn't failed a pre-requisite course for pharmacy you were completing in the winter semester.

Agree with above opinions: I think they only need our final transcript just to make sure we kept our marks relatively consistent relative to our academic history! And as they mentioned, they would barely look into our winter marks unless they notice something way off-track !!!!
And I'm totally with you guys, this wait is killing me one bit at a time... today, by far, was the worst day... I've super nervous all day thinking about pharmacy! I've been just eating like a cow and sleeping way too late but neither ease my stress
I'm just gonna go for a run now, maybe that'll shut down the pharmacy side of my brain

I find it hard to believe they'd look at a random test with questions about some article and a "mini essay" written on the spot over years of hard work in university classes.... they really don't consider gpa in the end?
Don't forget the interview though! And I think the GPA was just to qualify you to get to the interview RC/WT stage of the admissions process. I really wish GPA was taken into greater consideration in all actuality, but I digress.
i've been kinda busy with the playoffs these days.. hopefully the 15th will be a good day for us and for the canucks lol
who's up? i won't be able to sleep tonight
luckily for me, i'm exhausted from work, but I doubt i'll be able to sleep well tomorrow.
2 more sleeps!

Wow. If we consider the number of posts replied and the time frame, I wonder if this is the highest rate of posting that has ever happened. Just 1 day and the thread has gone from bottom of page17 to the bottom of page 18!

While I agree with you about gpa, I'm kinda glad it's done the way it is. I know for me, my gpa in years 2-4 has been 3.6+ but I had a bad first year which puts me at a huge disadvantage in terms of cumulative gpa. I also think it's unfair to look only at cumulative gpa and not take into account improvement over the years...one of the many flaws of the selection process with many professional schools!!
Oh well, hopefully things work out well for everyone tomorrow!!!

Did you contact U of T regarding your delayed mark on the course? What did UofT say?

Yup I did, they said it wouldn't affect my application but because they don't give conditional acceptance, provided that I meet all other requirements (gpa, interview, pcat) then they will put my application on hold until they receive confirmation that the course has been passed. Did u also have a similar problem ?
I actually dreamt that I DIDN'T get in... I woke up feeling soo sad.. I hope that's not the case tomorrow...
btw! yazahra89 you should do an hourly count down LOL .. some one said it would be 10am tmr right?

omfg, so excited like wtf!!
I've been pretty occupied working at a research lab the last few weeks but the anxiety has finally started to settle in. My veins are flowing with adrenaline every time I check my email and sdn.
I told my labmates about tomorrow, so they're buying alcohol to either celebrate or binge drink in sorrow..

lol I've been reading the recent posts on this thread and I just wanted to wish you all the best of luck tomorrow on the offers. Waterloo should be honored to have such students in their pharmacy class. Good luck everyone, you are only hours away from accepting you acceptance offer
Just signed up to wish everyone good luck tomorrow. I hope you all get in and I can see all your faces next year when school starts up! The nerves have been shot but it'll all be worth it in the end. Hopefully this is the start of something amazing over the next 4 years!
GOOD LUCK everyone!!
GOOD LUCK everyone!!
