As many of you know, I have been worried a bit about how the strike at York might affect my medical school eligibility if my final transcripts cannot be sent on time (in the event that I do get in). Fortunately, I got a nice response the other day:

“Hi Josh,

An email just came in from the Registrar – they expect final transcripts to be ready by mid June, so you should be fine. Please pass on the word.

I mean there’s no guarantee things will work out, but at this point, this is the best I could have expected.

I am still a bit worried about my Queen’s interview – we can start signing up for interview dates on Feb. 9, but I hear my exam schedule won’t be ready by then (and the first interview weekend is during my exam period).

The good news though is that I will only have one exam coming up during the period (the rest of my courses are full year, or don’t have a final exam), so at least there’s no way I would have to miss all of the first set of interview dates.

Thanks again for everyone’s support – I really appreciate it!
