Hello everyone,
I have a couple shoutouts to send out here, but first I’d like to address one issue that a lot of students have been asking me about. I can tell many of you are starting to get your OUAC Pin numbers because there seems to be a rumour out there that if you don’t list Queen’s as your first choice overall, we won’t consider you for a spot here.
That rumour is a complete myth. Obviously, it makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside if you do have us as your first choice, however we will treat your application the exact same if you have us first or fifteenth. Also, you should know that we will consider ALL applications we receive from you. That means if you apply to two or three programs, you will be considered for each of them and that you may end up with three offers of admission at the end of the day. Obviously, you can only accept one offer later on, but at least you have that flexibility.
I would like to take this chance to give a few shoutouts to some of the awesome schools I visited in the past little while.
In particular, I would like to say hello to all those I spoke to at:
Beaverbrae in Kenora,
St. Thomas Aquinas in Russell,
Arnprior District High School,
St. John in Perth,
Earl of March in Kanata,
Bishop Smith in Pembroke,
Opeongo High near Douglas,
Earl Haig Secondary in Toronto,
Cobourg DCI East AND West,
Regiopolis Notre Dame right here in Kingston and last but not least,
Mackenzie High in Deep River (my old stomping grounds!).
I know there are many other schools that I visited, and of course I want to say hello and thanks to each of you for making my visits so much fun and being so welcoming!
