I'm going to be leisurely doing some anatomy review over the summer, but that's all I have planned! Also taking a lot of time to relax, we will all need it!

Wow, congrats everyone! Hope you all enjoy U of A Any more Western folks in here? I'd love to get a Facebook group started as well!

Wow, thanks SLPguy. That gives a lot of us some great additional info!

SLPlife - thanks so much! I hope that was helpful. Maybe look for an opportunity to volunteer for a research project if you'd like to gain that kind of experience. Also, not sure if anyone has already answered this but has anyone received any information regarding OGS for Western? The lady on the phone told me that I probably didn't get it (she looked up my account or something....hoping she's wrong) but the prof who called me April 1st said they might be sending out OGS decisions past April 15th. Anyone have any other info on this?

Hi there! I'd be happy to share my stats. My GPA was a 3.82 and my subGPA is a 3.84. I'm finishing my BA in Child and Youth Studies and had around 50 supervised clinic hours when I applied (65 hours to-date) in 3 different settings with 3 different SLPs (preschool, school-aged, and adult). I also have 140+ hours of related volunteer work not supervised by SLPs but were relevant to the field (including a special needs preschool, developmental delay classroom, regular classroom, a special needs movement program, and various literacy programs). I mentioned that I am also completing my thesis on literacy programming for students at-risk for reading difficulties/learning disabilities. I also worked at an overnight summer camp for kids, youth & adults with special needs - my campers were all on the autism spectrum and many used AAC devices for communication which I got to help facilitate. In my letter of intent I also briefly brought up the position I've held over the past 3 years working part-time at my university's career centre. Let me know if you have any questions...I only got accepted to Western so I'm not sure what the other schools may be looking for!

Hi! I accepted my offer to Western already I will definitely be looking for housing as well, I will PM you! Congrats to everyone!

I just got the same email!! I have no idea what it means...

Oh wow hopefully I get an email soon then too! Congrats to you both! I wonder once everyone makes their decision if we could chat about who may be looking for housing in the same city for the fall! It would be great to room with other SLPs-to-be I think I'm way too excited - I already want to plan!

I got into Western too!!! AHH so excited! Congrats everyone

Hi everyone, Just found this thread! I applied to U of T, Western, and McGill and have also been refused by McGill. I can hardly contain myself for tomorrow - I am getting so anxious and nervous. Good luck to all, hoping for some good news!!
