Hi everyone!
My plan is to apply at Western and McMaster for Speech Pathology and at Queens and UOT for occupational therapy. Is anyone also applying to both SLP and OT? I am a bit confused right now about how to guide my academic references to speak on both programs behalf if anyone has any tips. I am also a bit nervous about my professional reference. I know that Western waved the clinical reference this year but said that if you have a speech pathologist as a reference they can use the academic form. I did ask a speech pathologist for a reference, so would this make the speech pathologist my professional reference for my OT applications? If this is the case, do you think that this would look bad to the occupational therapy programs? The reason I am asking is because I am wondering if it will just be better all together if I ask my work supervisor (I work at daycare) to write my reference as I have known her much longer (I worked on a project for the SLP and had a min of 4 meetings with her).
Sorry if the wording is confusing guys, I had a hard time finding the right wording to express my questions. Any opinions are welcome, please help me out of my dilemma!
Also, one last thing, does anyone know is applying to SLP and OT at Western and McMaster is frowned upon?
