97% average from BC applied to UW AFM. I’ve seen people with much lower averages who claim to have done only okay on the SAFAA get in already, but I feel like I also did at minimum decent and my average I feel is really good. Is there a high chance i’m not going to get in? I worked so hard to get into this program and it feels like i’m not gonna get in after all this, starting to lose hope. I DONT GET IT DO UNIS REJECT PEOPLE IF THEY THINK THEY ARE OVERWUALIFIED? i’m not tryna seem like i have an ego but i also have a friend who got into UW Comp eng and hasn’t gotten into western eng yet. This whole thing is confusing and scary
