Thanks all! Yay! Congrats DJ! Feel free to PM me! Thanks luslp! I was told that I was on the second half of the wait list at Western, and for Ottawa that info had to remain confidential. I do know that there were supposed to be 15 people on their wait list though, if that helps!

Hi all! I just got accepted off the wait list for Ottawa! Very excited! In other news, for anyone still waiting on Alberta, I emailed yesterday and was told that the admissions committee is still making decisions and hopes to contact all successful applicants by net week. Good luck everyone!

Congrats egad00! Is anyone else sitting on the edge of their seats though?? Ahh way too much anxiety for my system!

Congrats on Ottawa Vivi_K! I know someone else who was accepted into the program. As for me and another friend, waitlisted but hoping for a positive answer soon! Would you be able to shed a little light on life in Ottawa and UOttawa in general? Thanks!

Congrats future SLP! And you've done lots of amazing things! Wow!!

Ouch, yeah you're probably right! Well at least now we know that they've started calling people! Good luck!

Oh no I wish you luck in deciding! I really think that something went on at U of A for them to be needing to take more time this year. Thanks for the update!

Haha room for waitlisters please! Yeah, she will be going to Ottawa. She had a friend that also got accepted to another French program and will be going there. That leaves one spot at least! And yes, 20 for audio, though I also know that they had asked some speechies if they would be interested in being considered for audio as well. It might have just been to have back-up just in case they didn't fill all the spots they wanted to for audio. I have to say though that I am quite interested in going to Ottawa especially that it is in French -- we get a change to develop a strong working language, especially if your dominant language is English, and also because the program's breakdown is changing: they're going the "block" route, so for example focussing on children/acquistition throughout one semester, that sort of thing. D'ailleurs, s'il y a des candidats qui ont fait des demandes d'admission aux autres programmes francophones, est-ce que vous pouvez partager vos expériences? Merci!

Hi guys, a little info on McGill from a McGillian and Montrealer Beatty Hall is a nice old building up on the mountain -- so you're looking at a nice hike walk to get there or there's a bus that runs along the street it's on. There's also this really great view overlooking the city if anyone's interested. If you're worried about your French in Montreal, really don't worry, there's a lot of English, especially downtown. But with that being said there are also lots of opportunities to practise your French! As for McGill being SLP "gold", it does have a really great repuation, especially associated with its research focus. Having volunteered with SLPs who have gone through McGill's program, one thing that they all agreed on was that it was very theoretical. They went on to say that fresh out of school, it was an adjustment to to really being comfortable with working with your clients. One did say though that she didn't know any SLP now that wasn't awesome at their job! And yeah, totally agree about no matter where you go though, once an SLP always an SLP. Any school will help prepare us. I guess it comes down to where you want to move your life and make your 2 years great and memorable ones before going out into the "real world".

When over there for the interview, we asked and of the 50 who got interviews, 25 get accepted, 15 get put on the waitlist and 10 are rejected. A friend of mine emailed the admin officer to find out about ranking and this is what was replied: Votre rang dans la liste doit demeurer confidentiel. Nous ne pouvons vous fournir d'avantage d'information pour le moment sur vos chances de vous mériter une place pour septembre 2013. Désolé Argh! Another friend of mine who got accepted to the program told me that the deadline to accept or reject an acceptance is April 22nd, and that if they do accept an acceptance, an initial deposit must be made by May 15 or else they cancel your acceptance. So basically I'm thinking waitlisted people should start hearing after April 22nd. Fingers crossed and good luck!

Hi all I've decided to join in on the discussion to let you know where all my applications are at. A little background: I did my BA at McGill in Ling & Psych, did the volunteering and all that. I've only applied to Canadian schools and so far, this is where it all stands: Rejected from McGill and U of T Waitlisted at Ottawa and Western Yet to hear from Alberta and Dal I'm thinking nothing positive from Dal, but the wait for Alberta is brutal! Good luck to all!!
