I chose between UBC and McMaster in the end I picked UBC because it is where I want to practice and that’s where I wanted to build contacts and connections for after graduation. I guess I’m just highlighting my thought process that although programs are different they all get people to the same point so I focused on some of the facets beyond the school

I took the course last year and even though I was an absolute wreck because of the shutdown etc I still managed to do well. The questions on the final felt really vague... idk how to describe it more than that. Make sure you know your stuff but even though I thought I studied pretty well I got confused about some of the questions but again don't stress even though I felt this way in the moment I still did well! Good luck!

Western says it will be sending out waitlist offers "starting in mid to late April" so I think it will definitely be after the 15th. On past forums people seems to start hearing around the 18th but then offers continue well past that as people decline their waitlist offers and they move down the list.

I feel very lucky to have been waitlisted at a couple schools but I am still holding out hope that I can get an acceptance. UBC is the only school I haven't heard from so I am spending a lot of mental energy on this haha. It feels weird that AUDI would send out and not SLP I don't know if they have in the past but now I'm worried that SLP is delayed for some reason... but these are just thoughts I torture myself with

UBC is closed tomorrow (Easter Monday) but I am really hoping they send out notices on Tuesday. Does anyone know if they send out their acceptances/waitlists/rejections at the same time?

I know it is all speculation but I does anyone have any thoughts about how many people are in each quadrant? I know that in the past people said that they got in from the second quadrant and maybe people get offered from 3/4th quadrants but we don't hear about it b/c posts on the forum seem to fizzle later in the summer when those offers might go out.

I haven't and neither have any of my friends who applied there. Last year they sent out rejections on the 7th. At this point it will most definitely be after the long weekend but hopefully before the 7th

Whoever has the answer to this question could become a god on this forum. This is very anecdotal but it seems like more peoples top choice was UofT vs Western so I feel like there might be more movement on that list. Assuming that most people who got in at one got in to the other. Creeping on past forums I would say it is common for people to get in off the waitlist but not everyone so without knowing your place it is impossible to know.

I am also waitlisted at Western I thought I would share my stats here too because it is a nice contrast. I have a 3.9 sGPA. I have no direct experience at a speech clinic (thank-you COVID). I have worked full time/part time on two research projects one of which (part time) was with a SLP. I have volunteer experience with children as a coach (5 years) and other volunteer experience in first aid (6 years). I didn't use a professional reference I used a personal reference (swim coach). My other references were professors that I had taken multiple classes with. This is my first time applying. Edit: it probably seems crazy that I didn't use the SLP reference but they didn't know me very well as I had just started to project back in January.

I am assuming you guys are anxiously waiting like me. One thing I like to remind myself as someone who has been rejected repeatedly from lots programs is definitely be sad because rejection sucks but also remember the selection process in competitive programs is pretty unfair. I don't mean that the people who got in didn't deserve it or have a worse application its the fact that because the programs are competitive it pushes the standards way up. Honestly from seeing people on this forums stats and excitement everyone is a good candidate. Even people who have been "rejected" or "waitlisted" would most likely do great in those programs and be successful SLPs if there were more spaces. Anyways just remember that a rejection (in most cases) isn't a we reviewed you and thought you wouldn't do well its more that someone else could have had more experience hours, a couple higher GPA points etc. and they had to draw that line somewhere. This is a game of comparisons unfortunately. If you don't get in its good to be thinking about how you can improve your application but know that it was probably pretty excellent to start with so be hard on the system and not yourself ?

That seems crazy high especially as just the average for interviews! I saw on the forum that previous years it was like a 3.8ish so that feels like a big jump I wonder why it went up so much.

This is so accurate. My family knows that I will hear back April 1st but I am giving myself some breathing space by not telling them that acceptances come in at midnight.

No they seem like they have been really inconsistent with when they notify people over the past couple years which makes it so hard to know!

251244123 Yes and I didn't realize it was sent to everyone so I went to check again and it will just say that you identity is already activated. After more careful reading I figured out it was sent to everyone and that if you can get on the portal you are good.
