MiNDS Application Questions
Processing of applications continues
 Just a quick update this week to let you know where we are in the processing of applications.
We have posted the applications so that faculty can review the material. In addition, the admissions group is reviewing and scoring the applications. We use a scientific approach to evaluating applications, essentially a point system based on:
·statement of research interests,
·and letters of recommendation.
We have found that this approach helps us to select among the many outstanding applications the students that are a good fit for the MiNDS program.
I anticipate that faculty and I will beging contacting students over the next few weeks to chat about your interest in the MiNDS program.
If you need help with your application or have questions about the program please contact us. |

Applying to Grad School
It is Reading Week, Yippee!
 It is Reading Week at Mac. That wonderful mid-winter break when we all take a few days to catch our breath, relax, enjoy the sun or slopes, and get ready for the final push to the end of the school year.
Since it is also the 2010 Winter Olympics and we just won our first gold medal on Canadian soil -- woohoo Alexandre Bilodeau -- I thought you might like to find out a bit more about our Olympian -- Melanie Kok. Melanie is a bronze medalist in rowing at Beijing and carried the Olympic torch when is past by this way in December.
Watch the video of Melanie carrying the torch and read the story written by fellow MiNDS students Sonali Lokuge and Caitlin Carew.
