So I just got off the phone with the Queen’s Medical School admissions officer who emailed me yesterday, and I’m happy to say that I got some good news.

She was super nice about the whole situation, and said that Queen’s did not want to take us out from the application pool, and that this was more of a heads up.

Apparently, they were just concerned that York University students in my situation may not want to deal with the stress and finances of attending an interview, getting accepted, and eventually getting an offer rescinded because we cannot complete our credits on time – I completely understand that.

I told her that I my only choice to complete the credits on time was to stay at York University. She said that as long as I understand the risks mentioned above, then she would be happy to leave me in the applicant pool. I said definitely!

So all is good at least for the time being.

Except for the fact that the strike does not seem to be ending anytime soon…
