If anyone else who didn't get accepted is still reading this thread (and/or for those who will read it for future applications) I did reach out to both TRU and UVIC. I asked them if they could comment...
Hello,

I think I came across stats on one of their websites and last year was like 188? But every year for the past 3 or 4 have been almost doubling with applications...I don't have the highest hopes. I...
