Vicki just emailed me this morning, and I finally got off of the waitlist at U of A today  ?
 

Accepted off the waitlist at Dal! Very excited, big thank you to whoever didn't take their offer! 

Provisionally accepted McMaster, still being considered on the waitlist for U of T, but declined my offer from Western, so hopefully that should open up a waitlist spot for someone!!

Hi there,
This isn't exactly what you asked for, but I thought I would throw my info in too!
I have an overall GPA of 3.83, as well as a cGPA of 3.83.
Despite my relatively good GPA, I was rejected at both Western and UofT (accepted at McMaster though!!). I have no reason to believe that my reference letters were bad, but I did only have about 40 volunteer hours with an SLP. So, while grades are important for sure, there are people who were accepted with lower GPA than me, but who had fantastic volunteer experience.
So in addition to a good GPA, definitely make sure you are submitting a well-rounded application!
Good luck with your application next year!

Hey guys! 
Congrats to everyone who got in/waitlisted!
I got rejected from UofT, Mac and waitlisted at Western (omg there's still a chance! Holding on to the hope!)
I'm thinking my subGPA is pretty low (3.67)  and I'll probably take some courses to bump it up if I don't get off the waitlist this year. I think my references are strong and I have over 2000 hours in speech/language related services (volunteer and work) + 3 years of teaching (OCT). Feeling a bit down, but at the same time I think I'm pretty close. If not this year, then it'll be the next!

Congrats to everyone that got accepted/waitlisted!!
I only applied to McMasters and UofT and didn't get into any but not gonna let that discourage me and am gonna apply again next year!! I was talking to one of my profs (who is also an SLP) and she said that the universities tend to prefer applicants who are applying for their 2nd time because it shows how committed to SLP you are so I am hoping that that gives me a (slight) advantage for next year. My GPA was 3.55 (will be improved for next year!) and subGPA 3.78 and I have about 100 volunteer hours (will also be improved). I figured my application wasn't the strongest but I thought what the hell why not try lol. Now I know what I have to do for next years application!

I will be rejecting my acceptance to Western so hopefully, that opens the spot for you! You have the right attitude though, keep going for it! it took me three years to get an acceptance. You got this !

I AGREE 100%!! This is my FOURTH year applying and I was finally accepted to a couple schools and still rejected from others. But I'm happy to say that I'll be starting my education in the Fall and in 2 short years I'll be an SLP! Don't give up if it's really something you want to pursue! You can do it!

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?

I think anxious is even an understatement haha. Can't wait for the waiting to be over though! Hoping for good news for all of us 

Terrified if im honest lol

AHHHHH the suspense is killing me...I'm trying to keep distracted today as much as possible. Even took an extra shift at work loool good luck everyone

Who else is so overly anxious about the ORPAS results in less than 24 hours?? 

Thanks! Will do 

Yes but it's usually right at 12am so if you're really eager to find out, just stay up late on the Monday, April 2nd ?

Okay good to know. That makes me feel better haha thanks!! 

I just got a conditional acceptance to UBC today as well  (taking 1 course now and 2 courses + AUDI 402 in the summer semester)

Congrats! so did I
 

I received an offer from ubc today!
 

I was rejected by four schools last year, and then the last school to contact me was an acceptance letter! Don't give up!

Received an email this morning indicating that I've been waitlisted at UofA. Fingers crossed!

Trying my best to keep myself distracted but it feels like an impossible task! Eeek!
