Summary of Application Experience
Applied from Europe, so didn't want to have to worry about applying/coordinating interviews with millions of places. Originally wanted only to go to University of Toronto so applied there and Dalhousie (because in Province student) as a backup. Now regretting that decision and wishing I had applied to more of the Ontario schools. But I'm extatic that I got into Toronto. I am now much less sure that I want to go there and am waiting to hear from Dal to make my final decision. My mind seems to change every day.
