isn't it one application for all the awards? so shouldn't everyone just apply to every single major award?

About the "MAJOR AWARDS, ACADEMIC COMPETITIONS AND CONFERENCES" does this include athletic awards too? Like athlete of the year? Since there is no other section for athletic awards.

And the other side of it is, if you apply to chancellor's you are exempt from the PSE meaning you are taken out of the general pool of applicants and put into a much smaller one which increases you shot at acceptance for really competetive programs like commerse, con-ed, and kineseology. Instead of being one of 30,000 applicants you are one of 600.

hey, just so you all know - i've heard that historically, no chancellor's nominee has ever been rejected to the programs they applied for at Queen's.
So this means that getting the nomination virtually guarantees you acceptance into Queen's (I have yet to find someone who can refute this).
I myself was a chancellor's nominee (not a recipient though!) and was accepted to all three programs I applied to at Queen's.
Good luck with the application guys!
Something else I'd like to point out is that it takes into consideration marks more seriously (compared to TD/Loran) - to be competitive you should have a 93%+ ish average. The higher the better of course. I've heard of one rare case of someone winning the chancellors with a 90-91% average - but his ECs were amazing.

Thing is though, they still look at your marks heavily - and don't seem to care exactly how financially needy you are. You don't have to be below the poverty line to be awarded it. Everyone I know who got a "financially needy" one still had a 95% ish average.

That's exactly why I'm going for Chancellors. My midterm marks are pretty distorted so they are too low to really give me a shot at winning, and I had two course last year that brought me down into the 90-91% range even though all the others were 93%+. I do qualify for the financial need ones, and since I'm hopefully applying to the chancellors anyways I figure there is no harm in trying for the other ones even if I don't have the grades. Btw, could you clarify what you mean by 'amazing' ECs? With specific examples? And thanks! =D

u make no sense how arent they going to view how financially needy u are if they didnt care y would they make it one of the requirements think?

Hi Everyone!
I'm not sure if anybody has come across this issue yet...
Written question #1 of the application says: "Describe your involvement in a school or community activity in which you made positive contribution. What did you accomplish, and in what way was this meaningful to you? (400 words or less)". I have prepared my response which is a total of 399 words. However, my response doesn't even fill half of the space given!
So what's everyone going with? The 400 word limit? Or the space limit?

So what's everyone going with? The 400 word limit? Or the space limit? Yea but if you try writing like 500 words to fit the space I'm pretty sure the pdf won't let you. and for the second question, "In the space provided below show us, in your own way, how you meet these criteria." you CAN'T write in the whole space!! I've written it and the furthest i can go is about 530 words.
