I already went through my interview and sent in my documents but was late to send in everything bc i just graduated and had to wait to get my diploma and etc. so in this case I was told that I wouldn't get my top choice.

I was thinking of just waiting and then reapplying for the March semester and send in my documents on time since I already have everything in hand now so I would get my top choice. I'm not trying to be picky with my location, but if I am going to be there for a year might as well get where I want to be....I also was offered to do an internship before EPIK so I would be able to do that until the March semester started...

I also was thinking that if i didn't agree with the contract i would be able to reapply......

But...I wasn't sure if the EPIK would look down upon this? since...they already have my documents....and etc...

You can reapply, but it is likely that you will have to provide an updated CBC and other documents if you wait. If you want to wait for a better location than what you feel you have available to you, then wait and make sure you get on the list early. Usually not getting your top choice means you are going to be placed in a rural area which may or may not be suitable to you. Good luck.
