  1. Hello future applicants!

    I know applying and waiting for an acceptance is stressful, and I turned to the forums from previous years a lot when I was waiting to hear if I got accepted into audiology. So, I thought I would update future applicants who may be lurking on this forum about happened with the wait list after this forum was abandoned! If you haven't seen my previous posts, I applied to Western for Audiology and was put on the wait list. Shortly after I was put on the wait list in April, I figured out via this forum that the program was full and they were not admitting any more applicants at that time.

    I stayed in contact with another member of this forum after we both were placed on the wait list and did not get accepted. We thought all hope was lost and were talking about our next steps when she was offered a spot in the program in June and she accepted her offer!

    Fast forward to August and I got a call that I was being accepted off the wait list! Needless to say, I was absolutely shocked since applying to the program felt like a lifetime ago! After much consideration, I decided to reject my offer since I already accepted my offer to another master's program a few months earlier and I felt that program and career path was a better fit for me (and I couldn't imagine uprooting my entire life and moving in less than a month!)

    I hope this post will help if you've applied and are anxiously waiting to hear back about an acceptance, or if you've been placed on the wait list! Best of luck!!

    I also only applied to Western and this is the 2nd time to apply. If I failed again, I do not know what to do for the next step. It really sucks they put 25 people on the waitlist.  I try not to expect too much, but everyday looking at the phone? When you called the admin office, did they also tell you your # of turn? 

    They didn't tell me my position on the wait list, unfortunately. I'm always looking at my phone too, it's terrible! I don't think they will start calling until after April 17th anyways, since that's when the first round offers expire, but that doesn't stop me from constantly checking my phone. Were you wait listed last year as well? Best of luck to you!

    Omg wow that sucks they put more people on the waitlist than how many they actually accept :( but thanks so much for the info! I really appreciate it. Right! Waiting has been terrible. That's a good idea, I'm gonna plan to do the same. I don't want to get my hopes up too high. Did you apply to Dal and UBC too? Thank you! Best of luck to you as well, I definitely will keep you posted :) 

    I only applied to Western. I called the admissions office and was told that there are 28 spots and 25 applicants wait listed this year. Did you apply to Dal or UBC?

    Although this is a stressful situation to be in, it's really nice to talk about it with someone who is in the same boat... I'm sure my friends and family are getting sick of me blabbing on about grad school by now lol.

  4. I've been waitlisted at Western as well. I heard that Western typically puts more people on the wait list then they would accept into the program. For example, a couple of years ago they had 22 spots and waitlisted 25 applicants. How likely it is to get off the wait list largely depends on how many people accept their offers. The high variability from year to year makes it hard to predict, but it looks like 3 to 5 people are usually accepted off the wait list, so there is still a decent chance considering some applicants wait listed at Western may be offered admission elsewhere and accept that offer instead.

    Waiting is the worst!! I've decided to start planning my life as though I got rejected, so hopefully I won't be too devastated if I don't get off the wait list. Best of luck, and keep me posted!

    Hello!

    I applied to Western and Dal for Audiology. I was wondering if anyone knew what the average GPA of those accepted is? 

     

    I read that the average GPA for students admitted in previous years to Western was a 3.7 for the past 20 courses, so around 80-84%. I'm not too sure about Dal, but it's probably around the same.
