Hi everyone,
Just discovered this forum. I switched from wanting to do OT to being an SLP after starting my job as an OTA and realizing how much I enjoyed the SLP side of things.
I applied only to U of A and Dalhousie and was heartbroken when I received a rejection from U of A because it's where my home is. I thought I would at least be waitlisted but I am still completing two pre-reqs (one in an evening class and the other in spring because I work full time) and they told me that puts me at an automatic disadvantage.
On the upside, on the same day as my rejection, I was waitlisted to Dalhousie. My friend who is in her first year of U of A SLP told me that the Dal waitlist moves a lot because everyone applies there due to no pre reqs and then turns them down if they get in at home. She also told me she was waitlisted at Dal and heard back as late as June 5th that she got accepted. I'm trying to keep my hopes up but I am also looking to applying to SLP programs abroad as back ups since I have a friend who was waitlisted at Dal but ultimately went to London for her SLP degree and is now writing her certification exams.
Does anyone know how large Dal's waitlist as well as how many students they accept or any general acceptance/waitlist stats?
Edit: for those still waiting to hear back from Dal, I heard back tow days ago on April 2nd through e-mail so maybe make sure to check your junk mail?
Congrats on being put on the Dal waitlist! I was waitlisted in the audiology program before being accepted in May.
I don’t know how many people are on the waitlist. But Individuals are seperated Into two sections: maritime and non-maritime. If someone from the maritime decides not to attend they will find someone one on the waitlist from the maritime’s to replace them. There tends to be more movement on the non-maritime list.
One SLP student last year got accepted a week before the start of school. (But that does not happen often) All the others I know about got in before August.
Accepted students usually have 1-2 weeks to accept their offer. When a spot opens up it can take time before one is contacted off the waitlist.
Every year is different. This year, there may be a lot of movement on the waitlist or only a couple of spots opening. It’s very hard to predict. Best to hope for the best but make plans to do something else in the fall.
Wishing all of you luck!

Hi all,
Im currently in my first year of audiology at Dalhousie accepted off the waitlist. In the first year, audio and SLP have the same classes so feel free to write me a private message if you still have questions.
For those of you who are on their waitlist don’t give up hope but be realistic. Good luck I wish you all the best. I remember being so stressed having to wait.

Hey audi101. congrats! Dalhousie is super selective. Mind sharing your GPA and stats? I heard they have preference for maritime students but I may be wrong.
My GPA is something around 3.5 with some research experience and I am not a maritime student. Don't congradulate me yet, I'm just on the wait list.
What are your GPA and stats DP123? Did you apply to Dalhousie as well?

April 5th I believe for Dalhousie

Hi
Starting this forum for people on the waiting list for audiology.
I was placed on the waiting list for Dalhousie. Wondering if anyone is in a similar predicament or have you been removed for the waiting list in the past?
-
I called them
the emails for acceptance where sent out on the 15th and emails for waiting list will be sent out next week.
In the past years, rejections were sent out in the mail after that
There is not that many people posting but I was way who here has applied to Dalhousie?

Called Dalhousie,
I'm on the waiting list. Acceptances where sent out this week.

Dal released their acceptances to the Slp program. Audiology should not be far behind.

I hesitated to go to school in the US for audiology but it was way to expensive.
This will ultimately depend on you and if you can get scholarships. If you are willing to take on a lot of school dept, great if not perhaps waiting another year and reapplying to Canadian schools would be better. Good luck.
