  1. Definitely ask them. I called in 2013 after I was rejected from the audiology program. They gave me some good advice and areas of the application that I needed to work on.
  2. I just declined Western's Offer for Audiology... A spot will hopefully open up for someone on the waiting list. Good Luck to Everyone !
  3. Hello bee92, Audiology is a very competitive program. This year UBCs school of audiology and speech sciences received 130 application only 12 students get admitted into their audiology program. I am not sure how many applications Western received this year, however, it usually averages to be about 100 applicants. Both UBC and Western look at what they call your SubGPA which is the last 10 credits of your undergraduate course work. However, they do also calculate your CumGPA which is your cumulative GPA score over your entire undergraduate career. Both schools only look closely at your SubGPA. Most students who get accepted into the program have an average SubGPA of a 3.6 (on a 4.0 scale). The prerequisites are in a category of their own, however, often students take these courses within the last 2 years of their undergraduate and therefore they will be included in the SubGPA. Hope this helped answer your questions.
  4. From what I understand, you must meet the baseline GPA criteria. If you meet this "cut-off GPA" the admissions committee with then look at all other aspects of your application equally. I think they put more emphasis on your letter of intent and letters of recommendation, however, they do take into account all your volunteer positions. The more variety of experience you have in the audiology field the better (hearing aids, cochlear implants, children's rehabilitation, etc).
  5. Is anyone else debating between Western and UBC for audiology? If so please message me. I would be very interested in hearing your thoughts on both schools.
  6. I was accepted into UBC and Western's audiology program for fall 2015. If you have any questions about applications for next year, please feel free to send me a message. I have a lot of experience with the application process.
  7. Congratulations !!! I may see you on campus next year !!
  8. I got accepted into UBC for audiology yesterday by phone. I am an out-of-province student !! I am so excited !! Good luck to all that are still waiting to hear back !!
  9. I've applied to Western and UBC. How about you??
