Does anyone know how the final transcript request on ORPAS works? Do we wait until after exams or do we have to place the request now?
There's an option to make a request now to have your school send the transcript at the end of the term!

I randomly checked my ORPAS account and an offer from McMaster was there! I have not received an email from them yet but confirmed my offer. I was #3 on the waitlist! I'm ecstatic
-
I got off the waitlist for McMaster this morning (#3) and have taken myself off Western's waitlist
Good luck everyone!

Does anyone know when the people on the waitlist should hear back from Western?
Hey they said after the 16th, but last year people heard starting on April 18th!

Hello! Is anyone on here #1 or #2 on Mac’s waitlist?

If anyone is declining their McMaster acceptance, please post here

Hey everyone congrats on acceptances! Either way, if you got the news you wanted or not, be proud that you were able to go through this application process during a pandemic. That's hard!
I got waitlisted at both Western and Mac, but am #3 on Mac's waitlist so I am hopeful. If anyone is declining their offer to Mac please let me know!

I am sorry to hear that you aren't having a good experience at McGill!
Are you still in the first year of their program? Anyways, I hope it gets better for you! I appreciate you giving us your feedback, cause these are the types of things we would never know without speaking to someone who is in the program.
I appreciate any feedback on the different SLP programs and feel it's important to do your own research on each school! I find most people on this forum very helpful. If you look through the 2019 and 2020 SLP threads, maybe try to reach out to someone you see got accepted to and attends the school you are most interested in. It's nice to hear various perspectives and opinions.

Under Document Tracking and in the transcript section, I have all of my transcripts but I also have "Details Not Specific/Details P- 0"
Anyone know what that means? Kinda freaking out.Hey I am not sure what this means but I would use SAM to ask. I hope everything works out, I'm sure it will!

Hello! Thank you for offering your help! I am wondering if your academic references had to fill out different forms for Western and McMaster or if it’s the same form since they’re both under ORPAS? I want to let my references know how much they need to do haha (I believe someone asked this question in the beginning of the thread but hasn’t been answered yet) Thank you in advance!
Hi there! I believe your references will fill out the form that ORPAS sends them, then ORPAS sends the completed reference forms to each University that needs them. Although, in your case, McMaster doesn't require references, so ORPAS will only send the completed forms to Western. Someone correct me if I am mistaken

Hi everyone, good luck with applications!
I'm in my first year of SLP at McMaster and just wanted to comment on the GPA cutoff. As scary as it looks, I was offered an interview and was ultimately accepted with a 3.86. You definitely don't need a 3.9, but I would suggest only applying if you have a 3.8 or higher for your wallet's sake (MMI cut off was around 3.83 last year). It is too bad they focus so heavily on grades, but there are other schools that weigh your experience more fairly, so don't be discouraged
Best of luck with this exciting process!!
