Hi Inny! I think he went to school in the US, but I believe he taught at McGill for a few years, so that is most likely the source of his biased opinion haha! I agree that a degree in SLP is a degree in SLP, and it won't make any difference once we are out in the field! Thanks so much for the point about the courses/placements in the summer months, that is definitely something to consider! Glad I found this forum, reading all these posts has been really helpful.

Hi Cgyslp! I just saw that you are deciding between U of T and McGill, and thought I would comment since I'm in the exact same boat as you! I also never thought I would end up getting into McGill, such a surprise. I actually went and spoke with one of my professors from my undergrad today (He is an SLP), to get some advice. He told me that McGill is like 'gold' in the SLP world for some reason. It seems to hold a lot of prestige. Obviously, I would not choose a school based on that, but it is interesting. He also made the point that I would be in much smaller classes at McGill, which would be nice. The size of U of T's program seems a bit intimidating to me. I also really like the research focuses at McGill, but that is obviously specific to my personal interests. I haven't made any final decisions yet, but at this point my gut feeling is McGill. Let me know when you decide where to go!
