So, they have four alternates for each province, except NL, which has two. Accepted students have until July 15 (my birthday, oddly enough) to accept/defer/decline, so if I don't hear within a month, I'm probably not going. They can't tell me where I am on the list, unfortunately. Again, they said grades/GRE/vet+animal is above average, interview and ECs were below average. Might have to start doing some mock interviews. I'm already working on the ECs - another year of micro society, Young Naturalists Club, SJA medical first responder, Halifax Multifest...
On the upside, if they accepted 12, and have 4 alternates, that means I was in the top 16, which means I probably would have made the cut off if this had been a normal year. That's encouraging!
