    1st year AUD UWO student here as well! :) I was waitlisted too and got the call mid-April. Including swrigh11 and myself, 4 people (or more!) from our class were waitlisted before getting accepted.
    I heard that the incoming Fall 2017 class has 28 MClSc students with 2 combined MClSc/PhD (those that found a supervisor for their PhD thesis). There are probably just as many people on the waitlist (in my year, there were 25 waitlisters for a class of 22!). This sounds scary, but the fact that they have so many people waitlisted suggests that the "turnover" rate can be high. People get accepted to other audiology programs, med school, etc. There are years where there's little/no movement on the waitlist and there are years when more waitlisted people get accepted.
    Fingers crossed that you'll get the acceptance call, but have a Plan B ready just in case! If you don't get accepted this year, what will you do? Travel? Volunteer? Get more clinical experience? Work in a clinic? There are endless possibilities that will enrich your experience and boost your chances if you apply again. Remember, it's not always about marks  Your personality, experience, and beliefs are what can make you a good candidate for audiology (or anything in life, really)!
    Best of luck to you all!

    I'm a first year AUD student at UWO - I was on the waitlist as well when I applied, but was accepted about 2-3 weeks later.  Another girl in my program was also waitlisted, and was accepted 6 weeks before the program began! As far as I know, we are the only ones who were waitlisted, but there could've been others.
    Last year's class has 19 students (supposed to be 20, but one dropped out), they increased enrolment to 22 for my class, and they're increasing it again to 30-35 for next year's class.  Just to give people some idea of stats.
    We have people in my class that came straight from undergrad, have been out of school for a while, have done Master's and PhD's, have been Hearing Instrument Specialists, have music/linguistics/science backgrounds, etc - there's a good variety of people!

    This site might help! Some years Western took only 4 people, other years 29.

    I am so jealous! My dream is to be an AuD but I can't move! We have an audiology forum on gradcafe too! Good luck!!
