I haven't heard anything either... getting very nervous! Do you think they're contacting the applicants alphabetically? My last name starts with a W.
Same. Radio silence from here...

I received a call from McGill as well! Congratulations to everyone who got accepted and good luck to those still waiting!

Hi everyone!
I originally posted about a signature but I figured it out. I guess I'll use this no-deleting posts policy to ask a question that I have regarding the schools.
Does anyone know if UofT, Western or McMaster calls its students like McGill to offer positions? My phone is broken and I'm wondering if I should rush to get it fixed or if I should just focus on Orpas.
Thanks!
Hey! I've heard in the past UofT has called, but it always lets you know on ORPAS too, so you're good. Pretty sure the other schools also update the portal!

Hey everyone! I’ve been reading this thread for a while and I finally decided to contribute. This is my first year applying to speech! I applied at UofA and McGill. Do you think McGill will start contacting people this week? ?
Hi! According to their website, the first round of acceptances will be sent out mid-March so fingers crossed and good luck! I'm getting anxious now that it's closer to

I found some information about the 2018 applicant pool on the ORPAS website. For McMaster, there were 483 applicants and 32 positions (6.6% acceptance rate). For Western, there were 426 applicants and 50 positions (11.7% acceptance rate). For Toronto, there were 289 applicants and 60 positions (20.8% acceptance rate).
Good luck!
Does anyone know why there are so few applicants to Toronto compared to Western? (Not that I'm complaining haha) I could see why McMaster has the most because their application process seems to be less work (at least until the interviews), but Toronto and Western seem pretty comparable.

Hey! I'm in the same boat. What school(s) are you applying to for 2019?
I'm not expecting to get into McGill because I think they give more weight to cGPA. U of T cares more about sub-GPA, and mine is 3.73 so hopefully that's competitive enough combined with my clinical references and diverse research experience.
Good luck everyone!
Hey! So McGill only takes into account cGPA not sub-GPA unfortunately. I remember contacting them to clarify this point.
Best of luck!

Hi everyone! My subGPA only includes 15 of my courses. I thought they were supposed to count the winter semester for my second year? I'm finishing up my final courses this semester so I'm kind of confused. Does anyone know if the subGPA is supposed to include the 20 most recent courses (including winter of 2nd year) for the students who are still in 4th year?
Thanks!
Hey there! According to ORPAS, your sub-GPA is based on your 10 most recent full-credit courses or 20 half-credit courses counting backwards from your fourth year fall semester. If they can't extract the full amount of courses needed to calculate your GPA, they average out an entire year (for example, your entire second year). This might be the case here, but it would probably indicate that in your GPA calculation. Hope this helps!

Hi Everyone,
I have a BSc in Biological Sciences and an MSc in Neuroscience. I'm looking into applying across Canada for SLP. Do you know if certain programs look at both degrees or just your most recent degree? Just trying to figure out GPA. I'm currently working as an ABA therapist. I'm hopeful I'll get in but it's a daunting process. I will be writing my GRE soon.
Good luck everyone!
Hey there! I believe the schools in Ontario only take into account your GPA from your undergrad degree, even if you've completed graduate coursework (according to ORPAS). Not too sure about other schools across Canada, but hope this somewhat helps!

I just wanted to say that your username makes me really really happy.
Thank you!! I didn't know if the symbols would show up but I figured I'd roll with it

@student45238 I think it does include spaces, although they don't really specify on their website or their application portal.

Hey everyone!
I thought to let you know that there is another 2019 Canadian SLP thread that is a bit more active than this one:
Good luck with your applications!

Hi! Can anyone who attends UofT please comment on their program? How is the environment/teaching style/placements?
Thank you!
