[Canadian SLP Declining Offers Thread 2019]

Hello everyone! I'd love it if you would try to talk me OUT of the school(s) that you are hoping to receive offers from. I have offers from  U of A, Western, and U of T and each program has different aspects that really appeal to me, but it's hard to compare a list of positives. Why not try approaching it from the other side then? I think dealbreakers can be easier to recognize than "dealmakers".

As an example of what I'm getting at, to one person, Toronto is expensive but SO WORTH IT to be in a big city with so much going on . To another, paying so much money just to have a life of crowds and commuting and concrete and constant noise sounds AWFUL. Both takes are equally honest/genuine, but people are going to differ a lot in which perspective resonates with them.

So without further ado, please share why your preferred school might NOT be a good fit for someone else. You never know what might make someone realize they wouldn't be as happy in one program or city as they could be somewhere else, and if they turn down their offer someone will be drawn from the waiting list you're on. It's win-win! 

Lol I'm literally in the exact same boat as you! I've been accepted into U of A, Western and U of T and it's been a major struggle trying to figure out which program to pick. ? After hours and hours researching the programs I haven't gotten one step closer to picking a program ? - So I can totally relate!!

Hey, did you receive an email from UofT, or just the notification from ORPAS? Congrats btw

Thanks!   so far I just have an offer notice on the ORPAS choices/ offer page. I didn't receive any sort of notification from the schools, I just kept checking the ORPAS website lol

I found out this morning that I got accepted into Western and U of T! Does anyone know the tuition costs for these schools? Are they all pretty comparable across the board?
