There is no grade requirement, you just have to pass. Although I do recommend you pay close attention in stats because you will be taking stats in the first semester of the program and its helpful to have retained some knowledge of it ?
Just out of curiosity (I’m assuming you go to the UofA since you’ve been talking about it ?) do you know how many people in your year made it off the waitlist?

Awesome, thanks so much for the insight and congratulations on getting waitlisted. I know it can be disappointing for some people but considering how competitive these programs are I think its a huge accomplishment to be proud of.
Does the UofA give waitlisted applicants any idea of where they are on the list?
I received my email at 1:22 (edmonton time) to check my portal. All they tell you is there are 35 spots and that they won’t disclose waitlist positions

I’m definitely confused with UofA.. last year they did acceptances all within an hour but this year it’s been 4.. so are they doing rolling again?
-
I swear the idea (just the idea) of UofA sending out acceptances this week has me going insane..

Also, I just noticed my UA application says "Under Review" now, and a few days ago it said "pre-screening"! Has anyone else's changed?
From the 2020 thread this doesn't seem to indicate anything in particular (other than it's getting closer to when they'll send out offers) as some people were accepted last year with it still in "pre-screening",, but nonetheless I thought I'd provide an update that mine changed!
This makes me hopeful that maybe we will hear this week, but also trying to not get my hopes up ? I swear this is the entire application process.. hopeful but not too hopeful

Does anyone know the GPA cut off for UofA?
I know on the 2017 tip sheet they said 3.3 minimum and 3.7 competitive, but I haven't been able to find anything more recent. (https://www.ualberta.ca/admissions/media-library/ro-assets/publications/tip-sheets/2017-18/speech-language-pathology-2017.pdf)
Just for reference I was waitlisted last year with a 3.42 since I had a whole semester of grades missing! So I do think they look at a lot more than subGPA at UofA.

Everyone's stats are so amazing! Makes me super nervous for applying this year.. as my stats are not the best!
Degree: I finished my BSc with a major in Genetics, and minor in Psychology.
GPA: My ORPAS sGPA is only 3.55 and sGPA for UofA is 3.6. This is sadly where my application lacks
Experience/Volunteering: For experience I have worked as an SLPA for 3 years with children with Autism, Genetic Disorders, Cerebral Palsy and others, specifically working with SLP's, OT's, PT's and Behavioural therapists. I have also worked as respite and community aide worker for 7 years which is where I got the motivation to become an SLP. Also have about 20 volunteer hours with the same company helping the SLP's score assessments and reports. For volunteering I have worked in summer camps for 2 years and have coached girls hockey for 2 years.
References: I came from a smaller university so both of my references are professors that we had to do presentations with so I feel they knew me well enough for this! They both also zoomed with me before applications this year which I thought was amazing!
I am just so nervous with my sGPA being lower that I won't get in - it's my second year applying to UofA which I was waitlisted at, but first at Ontario schools..

Yup, I got my acceptance email March 9th last year. I think if you are rejected though, you either don't receive any letter or at least not until the end of summer? Not sure when they send out the waitlist emails!
I was waitlisted last year and they were sent out the day after - March 10th!

Anyone else feel like February is going to be the most painful month... just waiting ?

Just curious if anyone has reached out to U of A? Compared to last year this seems like an unusual wait
I haven’t but am curious to this as well. I saw on last years thread that only one or two people saw acceptances from waitlist until the 24th and then there seemed to be much more. Not sure what the case is this year..
-
Anybody hear from UofA lately? I heard there’s still 16 people not enrolled in classes, just wondering if people haven’t enrolled or if that’s waitlist movement. Thanks guys

I've also been waitlisted and wondering how long the waitlist was. Did you see that on last years forum?
I also heard that 20 of the 58 seats last year were filled by people who were on the waitlist. Hopefully the list moves fast for those us hoping to get into UofA.
That is super hopeful news. I also was waitlisted at the U of A and am regretting my decision now of only applying to one school... hopefully the waitlist moves lots this year too..
