Hey guys!
Congrats to everyone who got an interview at Mac and accepted at UofA! 
I am currently in my first year of the Western SLP program, but also got accepted at Mac last year so thought I'd give some advice about the MMI (the best I can without breaking the confidentiality agreement!) because I know it is super nerve wracking  
The best thing I did to prepare was practice answering example questions from online searches in the exact format the MMI was going to be in. So I would get a friend to wait in a room, give myself 2 minutes to review the question, and go in there and talk about it! Most of the questions are scenario based, so there isn't really a way to study for it other than practicing! Just be confident in the stand you take on the situation, and you will do great!
Good luck to everyone, and can't wait to meet some of you at Western next year!

I just got acceptances from both Western and McMaster!! I am freaking out!!!!

My boss, who is a SLP, just told me this: 

Accepted:Immediately- Drink joyously. 
Waitlisted:Immediately- Drink nervously. 
Rejected:Immediately-  Drink to get wasted. 
That's my plan. 

The countdown is on -  I'm SO glad we'll have a response by the end of this week! 
Something that I found helpful was creating a chart so that when I get the news, I immediately have action steps in place to deal with: the good news, the ok news and even the bad news. Thought I would share it so you can create one of your own to help you deal with the difficult waiting period! And don't forget to put "celebrate" under what to do immediately if you're accepted! ?
 

Same! I don't want to give up hope, but at the same time I don't want to keep my hopes up...
It's so hard when you think you have a solid application

AHHH CONGRATS! *stares at phone anxiously*

I know of two people who are overseas so can't do it! Fingers crossed!

Hi everyone!
I am so glad I found this! I am so nervous I wish we could just fast forward to April 1! I have a subGPA of 3.89 and around 140 hours volunteering with both children and adults. I've applied to Western, McMaster, and McGill. Does anyone have any idea what my chances are of getting in? None of the schools will share the previous year's GPAs so any input would be greatly appreciated
