Hi, I'm a recent graduate of the University of Ottawa. I have completed a four year degree in Honours Bachelor of Health Sciences. Here comes the shock: My cGPA is 2.6 out of 4.0. I am well aware that this is an abysmal performance, and it is due to a general downhill trend in my life as a...

I was simply curious if anyone has used the transcript entry service that costs like $65. I am contemplating using this simply to save time. Does using it look bad or can schools not see that it was used? Just was hoping for some feedback on it. Thanks!

Hi everyone!! I'm currently a rising junior at my university right now. My major is Pre-dental/Dental Hygiene, which is pretty cool major because not only do I graduate a semester earlier than I normally would (Dec 2018 vs. May 2019), but once I graduate, I'll be eligible to take the boards to...

Hello everyone, I have tried looking for similar threads, but I cannot seem to find much regarding my particular question. I am wondering how AADSAS asks about volunteering? Is it just a lump sum of hours that they're asking for - like they do with shadowing; or, do they want to know how and...
