    Hello! I'm just wrapping up year 1 of my master's BC, Canada. I'm really interested in Vocology, especially working with singers (rehab or optimization). I know some schools in the States offer specialty tracks but unfortunately I don't think any schools in Canada offer anything like that. Would love if anyone who's done a post-grad certificate in this area (or something similar) could share where/when/how you liked it. Particularly interested in programs that don't send me south of the border, including online, but open to anything!!

    Hey! I'm a little late on this but please feel free to DM and I'm happy to share more information

    I think I've seen this shared elsewhere in this thread, but FYI for anyone wondering: -Last year UA sent out acceptances March 26 and 27 -UBC sent acceptances on April 7 -I got my rejection letter from Dalhousie on April 7 too (but they were pretty all over the map with when they sent both acceptances and rejections out) Not sure when they'll be sent out this year of course but I hope that helps anyone wondering!

    Can you give more context? The only time I recall hitting a submit button last year was when I submitted the application itself but not sure if they've changed anything
  7. neuroling
    If I recall correctly the status on the portal either wasn't updated at all or wasn't updated till quite late in the review process last year. Things can change year to year but I wouldn't spend too much time checking it haha

    Hey - yes, I did (but also got a couple rejections) Feel free to shoot me a message if you want any more information

    For UBC, ORPAS, Dal, I don't think any of my references made any reference to the particular programs in their letters (I didn't get into Western or Dal but I did get an offer from UBC). One of my references did say that she altered her letter slightly for UA as I mentioned their EDI initiative to her. In general, I think the admissions officers know that the reference's job is to write a letter about you and your job is to know about the programs. I hope that helps!

    Also, hello everyone! I'm a first year student at UBC. Happy to answer questions about my experience with applications and talk about the UBC program so far, feel free to shoot me a DM

    I discussed this briefly in my LOI! I can't imagine it would ever hurt to spend some time explicitly explaining why the strengths/attributes you've described in your letter make you an especially good candidate for their school
  12. neuroling
    I did

    I can confirm this! Those classes count towards your credits for admission GPA calculation for UA and I think Dalhousie too. So I took P/Fs on a couple classes and of my 61 credits (just the way the terms worked out) only 55 of them were actually used to calculate my admission GPA
  14. neuroling
    Yeah It really didn't work in my favour either, it sucks!!! Yes exactly - So it would be like you got a B in 3 unspecified courses
  15. neuroling
    Unfortunately they don't exist for the purposes of GPA calculation, so they'll go further back Also note that if they reach a 'school year' boundary (Usually April, if your school offers summer term it's considered its own thing) and need fewer courses than are contained in that year they'll average the entire year (usually sept-april) and weigh it down to match the number of remaining courses. Let me know if that makes sense

    Hello! I rejected my offer to UA last night and will be attending UBC in the fall. Best of luck to everyone
  17. neuroling
    I re-read the formal offer from Alberta and I noticed that it says 'prior to this date'. 11:59pm Mountain Time it is
  18. neuroling
    Okay I'm also curious about this - my offers both say the 'by the 15th'. Does this mean by tonight at 11:59 pm (ie the response is sent in before the 15th) or by tomorrow night at 11:59 pm?
  19. neuroling
    FYI she (Vicki) told me that pre req grades were basically being de-emphaiszed due to the complication of them not accepting winter 2020. So I would expect that for the next few years they will matter less
  20. neuroling
    So from what I've heard UBC's classes also tend to focus more on research, less on its applications (although obviously it's all highly relevant research), whereas UA's classes are geared more towards clinical applications of research. I also go into both and haven't decided so feel free to message if you'd like to chat more
  21. neuroling
    Ignore me lol
  22. neuroling
    I'm also waiting for mine, they must still be rolling out!
  23. neuroling
    I got my UBC acceptance also Yay!! I guess Western Canada just likes me better? LOL
  24. neuroling
    I just got a rejection email from Dalhousie. Hopefully this means that they are working through all the applications and others will hear more good news soon

    It's a reference to a famous test that examines how children pluralize words they've never heard before https://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/oi/authority.20110803125127433
