Hi guys! I'm attending University of Alberta this year! I'm willing to help out with any questions anyone might have! I highly recommend you consider attending the OASIS virtual conference, where there's always a section on the application process. I found it super helpful!
I got in on the first time applying with
3.89 GPA in my undergrad in Speech and Hearing Sciences (I also have a certificate in Special Education)
4th quartile CASPER
Recommendation letters from Head of my department, a professor of a class, and my boss.
Resume done by SLPResume, who I highly recommend.
I come with no research background but a passion for adult neurological communication, a capstone project in aphasia, 25 observation hours. I worked for a software company so this is a change of career for me.
If anyone has questions about the U of A process, I'll still be checking this site every once and a while, or you can private message me since I'll get an email about it. Good luck!
