Congratulations brody43! Are you an out-of-province applicant by any chance?

Hi everyone! Anyone here also applying for the SLP program at UBC?

Hey VanTech, I have been e-mailing Sue for the past few weeks and she said that "no final decisions have been made. It will be a couple of more weeks." But this morning, seeing that I did not get into Toronto and Western, I decided to e-mail her one last time. I asked her if applicants who haven't heard from her means that they were rejected, and she replied and said yes and that letter mails have been sent out. Is this your second time applying to UBC? Whats your plan b?

Hi everyone, This is my second time applying at UBC and first time at applying at Toronto and Western. Unfortunately, I got rejected from all schools . I honestly thought I could at least be waitlisted at UBC since it was my second time applying (I did my undergrad there as well) and my references were even UBC graduate professors of the masters program. I don't know what else I could have done since I thought my SOI was well written and had 400+ hours volunteering with children AND adults in both clinical and school settings. I also have a sGPA of 3.9. Any advice? Today has not been going so well

I feel the same way xjmi

Hi VancitySLP, how did you find out you were wait listed?

HI CDAtoSLP, Thanks for the tip and good luck!

Does anyone know if you have to mail your resume/CV to ORPAS? It wasn't part of the online application (just the volunteer experience part)

Hi asemoooo (dont know how many o's there is haha), Im just so confused because my sGPA is a 3.9, but my 2 of my prerequisite courses are in the C range, while the rest are in As and Bs. I don't know how they will determine if I should be accepted or not, but I'm still applying just in case! I don't know if UWO is as strict as UoT though.

asemoooo, do you think they would go over your application still even if not all the prerequisites are in the B+ range? ie. read the statement of intent, resume, and letters of recommendation?

I am applying at UBC, Toronto, McGill and Western Ontario but my prioroty is UBC since I live in Vancouver. I have 100+ hours of volunteer work with SLPs, both with children and adults, and both education and medically based environments. I also have worked with the chief SLP in the Philippines at a speech clinic when I went there this Summer as well. My references are good and I think I have written a great Statement of Intent. I only applied to UBC last year during my final year in undergrad.. but I didnt get in. The admission committee told me this was because of my academic grades for the prerequisite courses. Therefore, I boosted my GPA in my last year of undergrad to a 3.9 (which is 83.8%) but a 75% on my last 2 years. Im so worried because my grades for the prerequisite courses are still not good. They do not recommend re-taking the said courses because they said it will actually not higher my chances of getting accepted. Most linguistic courses are in the A range, but im afraid that my Statistics class is a C+ and one of my Anatomy Class is also a C. What is your opinion on this? Do all the schools actually look at the prerequisite course grades rather than the GPA? Thanks so much!!
