    The application portal shows February 1st, 2022 as the deadline
  2. SpeechieAlly
    I'm really not sure about this-my thought is that the deadline has been extended to February 1st and that one place that says Jan. 15th is a leftover that they forgot to change. There's only one place now that says Jan. 15th but multiple that say Feb. 1st. Has anyone emailed Vicky about it?

    Thanks for the help as always Wugs, much appreciated!

    Does anyone what's on the U of A referee appraisal form?
  5. SpeechieAlly
    Can anyone who's applied to U of A before help me understand the application? Can you submit/pay for the application before you upload all the application components such as the resume, statement of career interest? Can you take the CASPer after you submitted you're application?

    You as well Okay I'm very sorry, but I went searching again since you asked and I think I was misinformed. U of Alberta does say that can more than 2 academic references. Sorry to get your hopes up for nothing

    This makes me super nervous for some reason ?
  8. SpeechieAlly
    For U of Alberta, the statement does not explicitly say to talk about why I'd like to go to UofA, but would you recommend discussing it?
  9. SpeechieAlly
    Depending on where you're applying you may not have to choose! Some schools allow you more than one professional reference letter. Do you mind sharing where you'll be applying?

    How are everyone's applications coming along? My statements are taking forever to write lol

    Hi! I'm not an SLP, just a prospective one, but I find the SAC to be a good starting point to learn about the field https://www.sac-oac.ca/ Maybe explore the website a bit

    Is anybody not able to use the quote function because of how ads on placed on the website? I've used Firefox mostly.

    Honestly me too! I was really hoping to just reuse my statement from last year but it looks like I’ll have to make some serious amendments. I wonder if this is a way for them to hopefully weed people out since last year they have at least 100 more applicants than previous years

    Have the Western personal statement requirements changed this year? I can’t remember what the questions were last year but they feel different.

    ORPAS is open friends! The number of applicants jumped up for all programs last year. You had less than a 10% chance to get into Western!
  16. SpeechieAlly
    I applied to UofT and Western through ORPAS last year and this wasn’t an issue. Be as efficient as you need to ?

    Not directly related to admissions but I thought it interesting none the less, York U has started a BA program in speech and language sciences, like Brock’s program. I’m pretty sure that would make it only the second program of that type in Ontario. Do these give applicants any sort of advantage? I know generally programs don’t like the slp undergrad program that you can take in the USA.

    For U of Alberta, would it be appropriate to have a 2 page resume?
  19. SpeechieAlly
    Did anybody else attend the U of Alberta application info session at OASIS this year? What do you think about her recommendations? I thought it was weird that they would consider hobbies on a resume. I didn't think anyone included that anymore!
  20. SpeechieAlly
    Thanks for your response! I just received a grade back that I am definitely not thrilled about so I'm considering all plans of action.
  21. SpeechieAlly
    Does anyone know how a course withdrawal looks on your application and how it factors into GPA calculation? Specifically formORPAS and Western.

    Hey! Sorry my signature is actually from last year, I can't remember how to edit it lol! This year I'm applying to Western and U of Alberta. I was waitlisted at Western so I think with some improvements I stand a fighting chance. U of T and McMaster focus really heavily on grades and that is not my strong suit so I'm not even trying those this time!
  23. SpeechieAlly
    Any time I'm on here a lot LOL I can't remember if there's a limit to how many entries you can add so you may be able to keep all 10 +. But there's definitely a character limit to how much you can write about each! I found it helpful to keep a "master" version of all my application information in separate document and whittle away what's necessary depending on the school/application. Writing my statement ended up being a major show of restraint ?
  24. SpeechieAlly
    I applied last year and this was there. It’s almost exactly the same as Western’s sections but UofT’s website describes it so weirdly. I remember being super confused before I actually saw the application lol. Both are things you’ll have to input directly, no PDF. You can copy and paste but you’ll likely have to play around with the formatting to get it to look right. Section 2 format is very similar to what job descriptions on a resume may look like. Beware though that the character count for describing the activities is pretty small.

    Hi! It might be worth to go back in last year's thread and see if there's any UofT students that offered to help then and try that!
