Hi everyone! I ended up getting a spot at U of A (off the waitlist) on Thursday! Hopefully knowing there’s still some movement encourages you who are still waiting, since I too had lost hope. Good luck!

Hello! Has anyone at U of A (or applying for it) taken ANTH 354 Language & Culture at Athabasca for their Intro to Linguistics prerequisite? I'm looking to upgrade my LING 101 course (from U of A) but likely missed most deadlines, so taking it through Athabasca would be nice! How did you find it, difficulty wise? U of A does site this course as an option for the prereq; however, they have a warning underneath and I'm not sure how that works (especially if I have taken the course at U of A already). "WARNING: If a student wishes to continue linguistics courses at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, they must be aware that the Linguistics Department in Edmonton does not accept this as an equivalent to their introductory course - Ling 101. Thus the student may be required to take Ling 101, despite having completed this course from Athabasca."

Hey everyone! This was my first year applying, and I didn't quite make it off the waitlist into U of A. I'm just wondering if anyone is familiar with their department, would you suggest contacting someone there in any way? Would it make a difference? Would they give advice in how you may enhance your resume for applying again next year? I'm feeling overwhelmed with all the possible ways you could boost your chances (e.g., Should I focus on GPA boosting vs. experiences? Should I take more speech-specific classes on top of my undergrad that wasn't speech-specific? Etc.!). If anyone familiar with the U of A program has advice, I would gladly receive it. Thank you!

I would also appreciate if someone accepted into U of A would share their stats! Thank you

Hey everyone! It's my first year applying for SLP and I was waitlisted at U of A (I only applied there). My understanding from the waitlist email was that people had to make decisions by April 15th, and thus I would have a good idea of my chances by that date. But I'm seeing that some schools are still sending out offers...so did I misunderstand this? Trying to ease my mind and prepare to wait longer! Thanks!
