I got accepted by U of T and Western! I didn’t even realize they were accepting March 31st, I was waiting for midnight tonight! I was surprised by an email from U of T this morning and then again surprised when Western called a few minutes later!! I’m still in my 4th year and applied for the first time, not really feeling like I had the most competitive subGPA, so I was completely shocked getting into both my top schools. Congratulations to everyone that’s been accepted, good luck to those waitlisted, and to those who did not get in this year, best wishes! Everyone has worked so hard and we should ALL be proud of all the hard work and effort that has been put in <3

Hey razzerpears, Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it. LOL you're not being harsh, just true! I figured I'd take a shot this year and apply, but I'll probably volunteer for research with one of my profs next year and take some courses to get my GPA up. Having applied twice, have you ever received any feedback as to why you didn't get in? Your stats sound impressive.

Hi! Being in fourth year, technically my "last 20 courses" aren't complete. They said they go backwards into your 2nd year if you are still completing your undergraduate while applying. I took from this that they will take marks from my fourth year and go back to the beginning of my third year. For me specifically, I have 16 half-course credits from these periods. The missing 4 half courses will be taken from the "annual GPA" of second year (so my second year GPA will count as the grade for 4 of my courses. This is basically what I've been told by others too. I am not 100% sure of this so someone PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong. This is directly from the OUAC/ORPAS site: How is my sub-GPA calculated? The sub-GPA is based on the 10 most recent undergraduate courses, the equivalent of 20 ORPAS course lengths, even if: the courses did not count toward a degree the courses were not taken at the university where a degree was awarded This additional calculation will include supplemental courses (summer, part-time, intersession, correspondence). Failed courses are also included. Courses without a numeric/alpha grade or any other non-convertible grade will not be included in the calculation (i.e., PASS grade designations). The sub-GPA is calculated by adding the ORPAS converted grades and course lengths beginning with the most recent grouping/duration, to a total of 20 ORPAS course lengths. Where course grades/lengths must be extracted from a full term to make up the 20 course grades/lengths required, the average of the next grouping/duration of ORPAS GPA values will be used. In the situation, where “Full-time”, “Supplementary” and “Semester” durations exist for the same year, the “Supplementary” grades will be used first, then “Semester” and then “Full-time”. This calculation will include the current year’s fall terms final

I'm so glad there's a Canadian SLP 2017 Thread! Hi. I'm in my 4th year at U of T, doing a Human biology and Psychology double major, have a cGPA of 3.6 and a sub GPA of 3.7 (the bio courses killed my GPA ) with about 200 hours of SLP volunteer experience with different populations (school kids, kids with autism, adults with aphasia), but no research experience. All my prerequisites are complete with a grade of 3.7+, but mainly 4.0's. I only made the decision to apply to SLP last year and have been trying the get my personal statements, references, and application together while finishing up with school. I will be applying to U of T, McMaster, Western, and McGill. Does it look like I have a chance of getting in to any of the schools? Any feedback would very much appreciated!
