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 
 
 

Hi everyone!
Just wanted to share that I got accepted into UBC a couple weeks ago! I lost all hope when I got rejected from Western on April 1st but this just goes to show -- KEEP YOUR HEAD UP!
It took me 3 tries!!! If it doesn't work out for you this year, KEEP GOING! DON'T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER! DON'T STOP UNTIL YOU GET WHAT YOU WANT! THIS IS YOUR DREAM! YOU CAN DO THIS! 
If you don't believe me, here's my post from the 2020 SLP Canadian thread (TLDR; me giving up, me debating whether or not SLP was for me anymore, sad me): 
"Hi everyone, discouraged applicant here; any advice for me?
It was my second time applying (first serious application this year -- advisor's suggestion to apply last year just to familiarize myself with the process, but I didn't expect to get in) to the same school this year (just one) and I didn't luck out this time around. I'm planning on applying to more schools next year (possibly Western, McMaster, Dalhousie, U of T, McGill). 
I feel my experience (+ the networking I've done thanks to these experiences) is what makes my application strong. I have 2 years research experience, having had a research award/grant and done 3 presentations. I also have worked/volunteered in these settings: school, rehab centre, aphasia rehab groups, autism clinic, and long-term care facility. I also have some ESL teaching experience.
(Not sure if I calculated it correctly but) My current sub GPA is 3.4 (and my cGPA is not so good, I spent ~2 years under a BSc degree = horrible grades in my first year or so). This year, I upgraded some of my undergrad courses as a non-degree student so that helped bring up my sub GPA a little. 
Other than going back and improving my grades some more, I'm not sure what else I should do. 
I feel extremely discouraged and, to be honest, quite lost.
Anything helps. Thanks everyone!"

I got my acceptance too!!

I just got off the waitlist for Dal! Funny enough, they never contacted me so I didnt know I was on the waitlist. For those who havent heard from them, youre probably on the waitlist too! I already accepted else where, so I will be declining the offer, opening the spot to someone else  

Yes but I already accepted my UBC offer so I declined. I was #6 on the waitlist

I haven't and it's driving me crazy! I'm assuming it'll be a rejection at this point since they've already sent out acceptance and waitlist offers, but it'd be nice to know for sure :(

I got my acceptance too!!

Just accepted my offer to ubc after the 4th try and will be taking myself off of western's waistlist! When they say dont give up, please do not give up, it will pay off!!
I do believe ubc is looking at applications more holistically as my GPA for prereqs wasnt that impressive haha

Ugh the anxiety is killing me. Im on the waitlist for uottawa and I just need to know if I will get in or not ?

also received my ubc acceptance! congrats everyone! 

I got my UBC acceptance also  Yay!! I guess Western Canada just likes me better? LOL

I completely know how you feel. This is my third year applying and still no luck. 
After talking to a few people, i am planning on focusing on making my letter of intent and references help me stand out. A lot of the time people focus on GPA and experience stats but forget how much of a difference a solid, unique letter can make! And a few people who applied at schools like western and u of a where GPA is not their number one priority were able to be accepted with GPAs lower than 3.8
It sounds like youve had a great amount of experience already, and in a pandemic too, but i urge you not to give up! I dont have much hope that ill get in this time around either but I will keep trying no matter how long it takes

I am ??

It’s because every email is personalized with the conditions/ remaining pre preqs, if applicable, for every applicant! Audi is only 12 letters to write and send out, so I’d assume it gets done first as it’s smaller than the 36 for SLP! I share your angst over the wait though ? Just figured I’d assuage the concern 

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

OMG same, I got myself so worked up and now I keep checking my email every 0.5 seconds  ?
