I’m so sorry to hear that. You had quite competitive stats and I’m surprised you didn’t get in! I wonder if CASPer (an element we don’t see the stats for) played a role? 
Also, did your application focus on the EDI aspects? 

None of my family or friends know that April 1st is the day that emails are sent out, just because them asking me would cause me extra stress. But now I cant even tell them why I am so anxious  ?  I created a double edged sword for myself

I received my email at 1:22 (edmonton time) to check my portal. All they tell you is there are 35 spots and that they won’t disclose waitlist positions

In my waitlist portal email that Vicki sent to me, she said there are exactly 35 people on this waitlist. 2 years ago, half the class 30/60 students were from the waitlist!!

Awesome, thanks so much for the insight and congratulations on getting waitlisted. I know it can be disappointing for some people but considering how competitive these programs are I think its a huge accomplishment to be proud of. 
Does the UofA give waitlisted applicants any idea of where they are on the list?

My guess is there would've been way more out of province/distance applicants this year. While normally the only people who'd apply would be ones who are willing to travel to McMaster for the MMIs, I imagine in the past they had very few out of province applicants, or even ones from cities further away in Ontario. This year people from anywhere across Canada could apply without worrying about needing to travel there, so I imagine many more people applied since they probably already had the prereqs (since McMaster's aren't as intense as many other schools) and also they don't require a CV, reference letter, letter of intent, etc.. 

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.

If you've activated your Student ID at Western, you could see your admissions decision right at midnight (accepted, rejected, waitlisted) through student.uwo.ca
I've only ever been rejected or waitlisted, so I got the actual email for both UofT and Western during the day on April 1. My ORPAS also stayed blank (under choices/offers). Maybe acceptances appear on ORPAS right at midnight? I'm not sure. 

I just got my acceptance from Dalhousie!! 1:20 NDT

urghhh same ! I also have an oral presentation for one of my class on Thursday so my stress level is up !!! It's not April Fools but April Stress hahaha 

Yes! There are rumours that UdeM will send out offers on Wednesday or Thursday, and I'm torn because I really want to find out but at the same time I'm very scared it'll be a rejection...

Me checking this forum repeatedly even though I know I won't hear anything until April 1st at the earliest. ? ? ?

Hi!
I am in my first year at Dalhousie - sent you a message
Also if anyone else is wondering about the program at Dalhousie feel free to send me a message!

Is anyone else incredibly anxious for April 1st! The next 3 days are going to be slow ?

I received my acceptance from UofA today too ? 2pm in Ontario, I guess Vicki is working overtime?! ? 
Also third time's the charm holy... honestly for those who are applying for their second or third time, try applying to more schools across Canada and the US!!

Congratulations to everyone who got an acceptance so far Hopefully the rest of us hear something today! 

Hello all! I received my UAlberta offer at 8 pacific time via email, and then a portal message a couple hours later. So excited! Happy to share stats but please pm me 

Thank you:) I was super surprised to hear on a Saturday! I have taken 2 directed research courses, volunteer in a different lab and received a research scholarship last spring/summer. I have volunteer experience related to SLP as well as other volunteer experience. My subGPA was a 3.81. Good luck, I hope you hear soon!!!

Hi!!! I got my offer to UofA at 9:04 am this morning  (I'm in Edmonton)

Hi everyone, I received my U of A offer this morning at 8:27 MST and I am super excited!!!!!!!!!! Good luck to you all! Hope to meet some of you this fall at U of A:) 

This could definitely be it! When I got my email from Vicki yesterday, it had a Word document attached with a title/content specific to my name and application, so I'm guessing she's having to manually send each individual an email (and send a separate portal message) so this could definitely be taking a bit as well as there are lots of applications to go through. 
Nonetheless, I ache for your frustrations and really hope that they'll be able to get the rest out on Monday for you all to know!

omg ! wow thank you SO much  you've no idea how much your message means to me ! You're absolutely right, we should NEVER give up and keep applying ! 
I really thank you for your empathy
I wish you good luck with your US admissions, you truly deserve it !

For Western, if you have a login with the student center, the decision (acceptance, rejection, waitlist) appears right on the front page.
Source: this is my third time applying and I'm tired of seeing the yellow triangle indicating waitlisted ? 
 
I've also wanted to put my input on this feed for a while... I guess now's the time since anxiety is running high with 1 week until decisions are out? so this is my third time applying to Canadian SLP programs, and it has not been an easy 3 years.  From volunteering in SLP and audiology clinics full time, taking a bunch of non-degree courses to increase my GPA, working full time at an SLP clinic as a client care coordinator and STILL receiving waitlisted/rejection... this process was grueling and took a huge toll on my mental health. I feel all your posts and empathize with the anxiety from the bottom of my heart. 
I decided to apply this year to US universities, and man, that experience was incredible. First, it's super easy to apply as they have a centralized app portal for the majority of SLP programs in the states. I got follow-ups from program coordinators personally asking for more information on my experiences, TWO acceptances so far, and just an all around feeling like they value each and every applicant. 
I wanted to share this experience with you to let you know that each and every one of you are working your ASSES off and in the hopefully unlikely event that you don't receive good news this years, DON'T YOU DARE GIVE UP.  There ARE options and you ARE worth it.
Also I would be more than happy to share my stats, info I've gathered from US unis, and just if you want to DM me to rant I'm more than available.
