  1. When did you hear back?? I'm so excited for you but also sooo nervous. I also applied to Dal and was really hoping to get in. My last name starts with M. I applied to Dal, UAlberta, UofT, Mac and Western
  2. Congrats!!!!! When did you hear back?? Also, what is the initial letter in your last name? Wondering if they're going alphabetically...
  3. I asked Vicki about the timeline and she informed me that admissions decisions would be sent out end of March or a little bit earlier. Hope this helps!
  4. Hi guys! I got an email confirming they received my supporting documents on Feb 25! I do think they're going down the list of applicants - I previously read that they go through the list alphabetically (though, I don't know if this is entirely true). One thing I can say is, a couple days before I received the confirmation email, I sent them an email asking about my application. I sometimes wonder if they confirmed my documents because they received my email, or if it was just a coincidence that shortly after they sent me the confirmation?
  5. Thanks for letting me know! I haven't received this email yet, but I hope it's coming. Hopefully you're right and they're just slowly making it through all the applicants. Did you happen to submit your supporting documents close to the deadline or way in advance?
  6. Has anyone's Dal application been updated yet? Mine still doesn't say they received my transcript, references or Resume, etc.? I'm starting to worry and am considering whether to contact admissions.
  7. Hey! I also didn't do too well on the CASPer test (2nd quartile ). I just wanted to let you know that a low quartile does not mean you did terrible! It simply means everyone that took it in your cohort (including people applying to MD, OT, PT, etc.) did really well on the CASPer. Now, this could be for numerous reasons: 1) they prepared a lot for the test, despite CASPer advertising that you "shouldn't study", 2) this isn't their first time taking it, so they knew what they were up against, and/or 3) they are really fast typers and have been coached on how to answer the questions. From what I know, universities consider applications holistically, and the CASPer test is a small piece of a much larger puzzle. Excellent references will hold much more weight than your CASPer results! Don't stress, and have faith in your application! We made it this far for a reason.
  8. I also saw my ORPAS sGPA calculations last night and it looked wrong... I submitted a msg via SAM and got a response this morning. Thought I'd share to clarify for everyone who's asking. It seems like the calculations weren't official, so it's likely they weren't correct.
  9. Hi all! I'm applying to numerous S-LP programs for the second time in hopes of getting in this year! Feeling discouraged because of the ORPAS calculation (considering, where they'll be taking an avg, I did better in my second semester than my first). I've applied to Dal, UAlberta, UofT, Western and McMaster with a subGPA of 3.78 and CGPA of 3.0 at UofT (I know the CGPA is low, but I switched my program half-way through my degree) before ORPAS. My subGPA should be somewhere between 3.7-3.75 with ORPAS re-weighting. In terms of experience, I worked as an RA in 2 UofT research labs (speech sounds and language development lab), worked with individuals with Aphasia and shadowed an S-LP within the school system. I have 100+ hrs working directly with S-LPs, 250+ hrs of research experience, and over 400 hrs working as an educational clinician remediating learning difficulties in children. My pre-req avg. is above 3.8 so I'm hoping this will help me with those schools that value grades over everything (*cough, cough* mac). Though, I'm doubtful I'll be accepted into Mac with my sub and CGPA. I would really appreciate anyone that got in with similar stats to comment and let me know there's hope! I really want to get in this year as this is the only career path I'm passionate about!!! ? Or, you can just comment your stats for the upcoming Fall 2022 cohort and we can uplift each other♥️
