I got put on the waitlist. It says "waitlist accepted" not too sure what that means. The uncertainty is killing me
OH congrats!! Yes that just means you were put on the waitlist. You can contact Janet to ask her where you are roughly on the list (which quadrant you're in)!

I am assuming you guys are anxiously waiting like me. One thing I like to remind myself as someone who has been rejected repeatedly from lots programs is definitely be sad because rejection sucks but also remember the selection process in competitive programs is pretty unfair.
I don't mean that the people who got in didn't deserve it or have a worse application its the fact that because the programs are competitive it pushes the standards way up. Honestly from seeing people on this forums stats and excitement everyone is a good candidate. Even people who have been "rejected" or "waitlisted" would most likely do great in those programs and be successful SLPs if there were more spaces.
Anyways just remember that a rejection (in most cases) isn't a we reviewed you and thought you wouldn't do well its more that someone else could have had more experience hours, a couple higher GPA points etc. and they had to draw that line somewhere. This is a game of comparisons unfortunately. If you don't get in its good to be thinking about how you can improve your application but know that it was probably pretty excellent to start with so be hard on the system and not yourself ?
Well put! Thank you for that ?

Thank you so much for your reply! I really appreciate it
Im soooo nervous i literally cant do anything ??? Thats awesome that you got into SLP! Where did you study??
No problem! Did you only apply to aud at Western or did you apply elsewhere as well?
Thank you! I did my undergrad at Western but took a BUNCH of courses after graduating from both Western and UofT to improve my GPA ?

I applied for Sept 2021. Im sooo anxious what time did you end up getting your offer??
Hi! Oh my god, haven't visited this forum thread in ages. I've actually moved on to applying to speech-language pathology ? But admissions decisions for audiology at Western come out right at midnight if you've activated your student ID at student.uwo.ca! (accepted, rejected, waitlisted)
I've only ever been waitlisted or rejected, so nothing appeared on ORPAS for me right at midnight, but I did get the decision at midnight logging into student.uwo.ca and an email during the day on the 1st. Maybe if you get accepted it appears on ORPAS at midnight? I'm not too sure.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions ?

Guys! Can you please help me disprove my theory that if you get accepted to Ontario schools (UofT, McMaster and Western) you hear back at midnight. But if you get rejected or waitlisted you hear during the day.
Does anyone know someone who got the acceptance during the day of April 1st and not at midnight?
If you've activated your Student ID at Western, you could see your admissions decision right at midnight (accepted, rejected, waitlisted) through student.uwo.ca
I've only ever been rejected or waitlisted, so I got the actual email for both UofT and Western during the day on April 1. My ORPAS also stayed blank (under choices/offers). Maybe acceptances appear on ORPAS right at midnight? I'm not sure.

I received my acceptance from UofA today too ? 2pm in Ontario, I guess Vicki is working overtime?! ?
Also third time's the charm holy... honestly for those who are applying for their second or third time, try applying to more schools across Canada and the US!!

omg ! wow thank you SO much
you've no idea how much your message means to me ! You're absolutely right, we should NEVER give up and keep applying !
I really thank you for your empathy
I wish you good luck with your US admissions, you truly deserve it !
rmaam
Aw absolutely! Going through these forums for the past 3 years always made me feel so discouraged (combination of low self-worth + reading all these posts from such phenomenal applicants!). I'm glad that sharing my experience helped ?
Also I want to add that I am in no way exceptional (mediocre subGPA and terrible cGPA) so I also just wanted to post to give hope to those who feel like they are also "not good enough". There are so many options if you are truly passionate about this field, and remember, everyone's journey is different!!

Can you let us know the US schools you applied too? Thanks!
I applied to Adelphi University, Syracuse University (accepted), Truman State University (accepted), Radford University (rejected), Pennsylvania State University (rejected), Nazareth College, Old Dominion University (rejected), and Grand Valley State University! Only because their deadlines were in February. The States have over 100 programs I bet

For Western, if you have a login with the student center, the decision (acceptance, rejection, waitlist) appears right on the front page.
Source: this is my third time applying and I'm tired of seeing the yellow triangle indicating waitlisted ?
I've also wanted to put my input on this feed for a while... I guess now's the time since anxiety is running high with 1 week until decisions are out? so this is my third time applying to Canadian SLP programs, and it has not been an easy 3 years. From volunteering in SLP and audiology clinics full time, taking a bunch of non-degree courses to increase my GPA, working full time at an SLP clinic as a client care coordinator and STILL receiving waitlisted/rejection... this process was grueling and took a huge toll on my mental health. I feel all your posts and empathize with the anxiety from the bottom of my heart.
I decided to apply this year to US universities, and man, that experience was incredible. First, it's super easy to apply as they have a centralized app portal for the majority of SLP programs in the states. I got follow-ups from program coordinators personally asking for more information on my experiences, TWO acceptances so far, and just an all around feeling like they value each and every applicant.
I wanted to share this experience with you to let you know that each and every one of you are working your ASSES off and in the hopefully unlikely event that you don't receive good news this years, DON'T YOU DARE GIVE UP. There ARE options and you ARE worth it.
Also I would be more than happy to share my stats, info I've gathered from US unis, and just if you want to DM me to rant I'm more than available.
ONE DISCLAIMER... most universities in the US require that you have an undergrad degree in communication sciences and disorders, or have completed courses that satisfy their prereqs (which is a heinous amount.. and half the courses I didn't know even existed). So I only applied to universities that had a leveling track or that they straight up didn't care what bachelors degree you had. This took a LOT of research and although I have a list I don't think it's comprehensive.

Hi Western waitlist gang, a little update. I called Janet to ask how many students have accepted their offer so far and she said all the spots were filled (many that were offered admission accepted their offer and a few on the wait list were offered admission and they accepted too).
Do you guys know if they actually don’t tell you your place on the wait list, like how they said in the email? I’m so tempted to ask but it was written in bold...

Wait-listed at Western... So nerve-wracking
-
Congrats to everyone who got their acceptances!! Western's offer could be coming out tonight (I read from previous forums that ORPAS releases offers at 12am).

Hi! I'm also applying to Audiology for 2019 at UWO. This is my second time applying, because I was waitlisted last year. I'm super nervous about getting waitlisted again this year. If you don't mind me asking, what are your guy's gpa and experiences?
I have a subGPA of 3.37... not great but I'm taking courses as a non-degree student this year to upgrade my GPA for next year if I don't get in. I also have 100ish volunteering at an audiology clinic, and I volunteered at a hospital, speech therapy clinic, Montessori school, and research lab. Would you mind sharing your stats from last year that got you waitlisted at Western? Thanks!

Hi hopefuls!
I'm glad to have found this forum, thanks @Audiology2019 for creating this thread. It's nice to share our experiences and support each other during this stressful time.
I also applied to just UBC and Western. I have just the neuroanatomy prerequisite to complete for UBC, which I was hoping to take this summer but the course filled up before my registration time. I'm feeling pretty disheartened, but hoping to find an alternative course that I can complete by September.
@FutureAudiologist I wish you the best of luck with Dal!! Let us know what the decision is
@MBLBPB congrats on getting accepted to American Universities! I wish I applied, but there's always next year...
