Hi guys! 

So nerve-racking to actually be posting here after lurking for so long..

So I'm a student at UofT, finally graduating in June with a degree in French Linguistics (random I know), applying to UofT, Western and McGill. MCGILL IS THE DREAM, I've been wanting to go there since high school and I hope (PRAY) that my French background might give me some sort of edge since I would pursue bilingual placements. I feel like I've been taking extra courses to apply for years, still have a few more to go next semester. 

My biggest concern is that I decided to pursue this going into the 4th year, so I feel like I've been playing catch-up to other students that have been volunteering for years and have stellar GPA's (i.e. some of my third year marks suck and are going to be included.. ugh). Anyone else feeling the pressure? 

YES, i FEELL that presuure homie. I switched my career focus towards SLP in my final year as well. I have a degree in Kinesiology and currently completing a 5th year to snag all those pre-reqs before I apply. Hopefully you get into McGill!!

Hello! 

 

I'm a UofT Kinesiology student (random i know LOL). I have a 3.1-3.2 subGPA for my application. I'm applying to UofT, Western and McMaster, but UofT is my number one choice. I have 100+ hours in volunteering with various cohorts (young students to retirement homes). I do not have strong faith in my application, as my phonetics mark is meh. The rest of the pre-reqs are great and I'm beginning sign language lessons in 2019, so hopefully that'll push me through. I decided to pursue this field later in my degree, when I realize physiotherapy is not what I actually love after volunteering for a bit. Does anyone have any tips or ideas to help my application stand out, or do they think I have a strong/medium chance of getting in?

[SLP UofT Admissions Question]

Hello everyone, 

I'm applying to UofT, McMasters and Western for their SLP program. I am very nervous as it is my first time applying, and I am a Kinesiology undergraduate. 

I went back to get the pre-reqs for the program, and will likely finish with a 3.0-3.1 GPA. My SubGPA is 3.0/3.1 depending on the end. I have over 90 hours of volunteer experience and a strong LOR & SOP, but I still have strong double in my acceptance chances. 

Let me know if you think I have a strong chance, along with anything I can do to improve my acceptance chances. UofT is my #1 choice as I completed my undergrad here
