  1. Thanks for the congrats. They didn't mention when audiology would be notified. Sorry I can't be of more help in that department. I'll be thinking of you throughout the week though. For those people who have not gotten in this year, keep your chin up. I certainly know how hard rejections can be. I was turned down 4 times before I was finally accepted to my program. I was only applying to UBC because I can't leave Vancouver. My husband is in school here and I managed to work my way into a solid job so I wasn't comfortable leaving all that behind for a different city. I'm not sure about other programs but as far as UBC goes, if anyone is planning to apply to that program i have two pieces of advice. 1. Get your GPA up. They care a lot about grades. I learned this the hard way. My grades were decent but not amazing and I took classes at a few different schools before and after undergrad. I had to take at least one extra course each year between applications to build up my average. Athabasca was a good choice for me so I could keep working. 2. Any chance you get, shadow a professional or volunteer for someone. UBC requires that you shadow an audiologist and an SLP anyway but I found that knowing more people in the community really helped me feel connected to the industry. Those SLPs have been where we are and they know more about the programs than we do. They are rooting for us and can help you figure out what to do differently next time. OK three pieces of advice. Don't give up! If this is what you want and you know it then keep trying. The world needs passionate people. Good luck everyone.
  2. Hey deafaudi and vancity, I wanted to give you guys a heads up- I received an acceptance email from UBC yesterday. Have either of you heard anything from them? I'm pulling for you both!
  3. Been lurking here for more than a month now, but wanted to share what I know. The post on the results page for UBC was probably someone who called the office on Friday to ask about the status of their application. You are right, VanCity, they have not started sending out official notices yet. They are coming this week via email. Don't freak out yet.
