  1. Congrats to everyone who got accepted!! I personally got accepted to McMaster, waitlisted at Western and rejected at UofT (my #1 choice unfortunately). Anyone else got accepted to Mac? Is there a FB group that we can join to talk about our experiences, important info, networking, etc?
  2. I'm in the same boat as you @SVC5079. They might inform us using another method, such as calling instead. Crossing my fingers for you too!
  3. Trying my best to keep myself distracted but it feels like an impossible task! Eeek!
  4. Hi @HopefulSpeechie2018! Just like you, I am also currently applying to Western, UofT and McMaster. From listening to other grads and profs, I would say the KEY thing to keep in mind when writing your statement of intent is to make yourself stand out from the rest. What qualities, experiences, academic accomplishments would make you competitive? For the academic section, be sure to include any scholarships and/or awards as they do take that into consideration -- so don't forget about that! Try explaining how your volunteer experiences have led you to feel so passionate about pursuing SLP as well. You might want to mention about a specific population, disability, therapy technique, etc. Make sure to find at least 5-6 people to edit your final SOI as you want it to be error-free and immaculate. Best of luck
  5. @SLPhopeful1: in terms of your academic accomplishments (i.e. your scholarships), I would HIGHLY recommend that you include that as that would be considered one of the key elements that will set you apart from all of the other prospective applicants. Again, you need to focus on making your statement of intent reflect your unique self that would make your application competitive enough from such a large pool of applicants. From my Information Session at UofT, one of the members from the Grad Admissions Committee kept on emphasizing how crucial it is to include your scholarships (if applicable) over and over again -- so definitely include that! Don't worry about sounding "snobbish", you are simply letting them know about your academic accomplishments
  6. Such a relief! I've been pulling my hair over here thinking that your grades from your first university would matter. Mine wasn't the best either.. Thanks
