Abstract
The University of Waterloo continues to be the major source of optometrists for all provinces in Canada except Quebec and the student body is recruited from all provinces including Quebec. The pool of candidates for admittance remains high (300-400) and of an academic calibre that is increasing annually. Up to half the incoming students have B.Sc. or higher degrees and this year only two candidates with a single year of University have been offered positions, reflecting the trend in recent years. We continue to seek academically well-qualified students with broad interests and excellent interpersonal skills. With such a large pool it is possible to select these and attrition has been low with the loss or failure of only a handful of students. Unfortunately many well-qualified candidates are not admitted indicating that there will be no shortage of students for a third Canadian school.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
