    It really depends on the class and my experiences are probably quite different since a lot of my time in the program has taken place online but I can give some examples! Usually within the labs we are split into smaller groups of ~4 to work and then have a big group discussion at the end (depending on the topic of the lab). A lot of the classes do involve case scenarios but we do other stuff as well. For Anatomy and Physiology labs you would typically be going to the cadaver lab to learn about the different structures being discussed in class (since we were online when I took this class, we watched videos of the professor interacting with the cadavers instead). For Developmental Language Disorders, we had a few labs where we practiced administering and scoring language assessments. We had Audiology labs where we practiced giving each other hearing screenings. These are just a few examples but let me know if you want any more information or if there's a specific class you want to know about!

    Hello! At Western, a lot of the courses have a lecture component and a clinical application/lab component. The lectures are usually done as one group and the labs are usually split into 2-3 groups.

    I graduated from Brock's program (now I'm at Western) and I wouldn't necessarily say that taking that program gave me an advantage as an applicant, but I also don't think it gave me a disadvantage. I know that a decent number of people from my undergrad were accepted to grad programs in Canada and/or the USA. Even if it didn't give me an advantage as an applicant, I definitely think it made my first year easier. Having the background knowledge was really helpful in nearly all of my classes. Taking that program also helped me feel very confident that this is what I want to do with my life before I spent the money on grad school!

    Hi everyone! I'm a second-year student at Western and I'm happy to answer questions about my application experience and/or Western's program! Feel free to DM me ☺️
  17. CCSLP94
    Yes they do.

    Thanks for your response, sorry if I misunderstood your comment!

    I am almost certain that the waitlist size stays the same regardless of the number of applicants (I mean, unless they had an exceptionally small number of applicants one year and the waitlist couldn't be filled). I'm not really sure what answer you're looking for if the one I gave didn't help you at all. I was just trying to illustrate that, while obviously those in the first quadrant have the highest chance of receiving an offer, that certainly does not mean that someone in the second, third, or fourth quadrant does not have a chance of receiving one.
  20. CCSLP94
    I know for a fact that last year students in the second quadrant received offers. I don't know for sure if it got further than that last year but I have heard that in previous years people in the third and fourth quadrant have gotten offers. It really varies a lot and it's hard to predict but I've heard of offers occasionally going out even in August and September because someone cancelled their acceptance last-minute.

    Congratulations on your offers everybody! I look forward to meeting some of you at Western next year! I just wanted to post again for people who haven't seen. I'm currently a first-year student at Western and I'm happy to answer any questions you have about the program or living in London. If you've been waitlisted and are feeling discouraged, please don't give up hope. I was accepted off the waitlist myself! I also just wanted to repost the link to the 'Rejecting Offers' thread: If you are rejecting a waitlist position or acceptance, feel free to post here to help others get an idea of how the waitlist might be moving. We found this super helpful last year! Again, congratulations everybody!

    I'm a first-year student at Western so I can touch on our program a bit. We have a great speech science course in our first term that talks a lot about pitch, resonance, breath, etc. and has a sister clinical applications course where we practice analyzing/measuring these things. However, our voice disorders course isn't until second year so I can't really provide information on that. I am finishing my first placement this week at Western's in-house clinic and I just happened to be randomly assigned to a voice client. My clinical supervisor (who I believe is always or at least usually the supervisor for voice clients) is absolutely amazing. She is extremely knowledgeable about working with voice disorders, LSVT, singers/actors, transgender individuals, etc. and she is always happy to share information/answer questions. I don't believe that you can request certain areas for your first placement but if you do end up at Western and happen to get a voice placement I don't think you would be disappointed. I hope this helps! Feel free to message me if you have any questions

    Last year Ottawa started sending offers on April 7

  27. CCSLP94
    Congratulations to everyone who is starting to receive offers (either waitlist or acceptance)! Last year when I was applying we had a thread where people could post if they are declining a waitlist position or offer, so I started one for everybody to use this year! This will help people get a better idea of how waitlists are moving. I know it's still early since offers are just starting to be sent out but I hope you'll find it useful once more schools start sending out offers
  28. CCSLP94
    Please post here if you are DECLINING your acceptance OR waitlist position at a school. This will HELP people get a better idea of their situation! Thanks to everyone who participates! Congrats to all the SLPs to be!

    My guess would be that it will not really play a role except in extreme circumstances. For example, let's say there are 2 applicants who are considered perfectly equal in every other way but one has volunteer experience and one doesn't. In that case, I might guess that they would choose the one with volunteer hours over the one without.
