me too! mac was my first choice but i’m slightly conflicted with western now haha. i think my main deciding factors will be courses, the overall experience and location. i’m at mac for undergrad so ik a bit more about the program but not too much with western so im looking to connect and chat with people but i’ll prob accept mac! msg me so we can connect since we might be classmates🤭 congrats friend!

my roomate got in uoft and mac! it seems mac emailed sometime in Feb to set up a grad portal account so look for that but she got an email at 12:25 saying a decision was made and to log in to the portal. We think mac is having some issues w ORPAS (we're here for undergrad tho so maybe thats why??)... but yea check for an email from SGS Admissions McMaster about a grad account

ORPAS for Western! I also logged into the portal and its there so maybe check there too

i applied for another msc at mac so i have access to a grad portal and it says i have an offer but its not on orpas! so i think it just hasnt updated yet??

got accepted at western! does anyone have anything from mac?

i don’t think it ever updates! i received an offer via email and my portal still says that

anyone else hear back yet? still waiting i thought the interview went well so maybe it’s cuz of the easter long weekend?

congrats 🎊 🙌! when was your interview? and did you apply course based or thesis?

anyone else get a jump scare from western? 😂

yea just ended a few mins ago. it was good I think! its only 5 questions and some had follow ups due to what I said and then at the end they asked me a question out of curiosity based on my application and responses! There was extra time at the end for questions for them but i glitched and said I didn't have any 😂

@J2022 @JayBb did anyone ask when we should expect to hear back? I was going to but got nervous at the end haha

out of province first time applicant, applied through equitable admissions. My ORPAS sGPA is 3.92 but dal is a 4.3 scale so I think I'm in between 4.0-4.1/4.3 I never actually calculated it. SLP experience: research (TBI, dysphagia and general ling), kids therapy camp, private clinic volunteering. 3 references from research profs. Current 4th year in BA Psych w minors in ling and health studies + some certificates. Some other extra-curriculars (TAing, mentoring, etc)

just doing usual behavioural interview practice q's (tell me about a time when...)! might research more on eHealth. its only 20 mins and im pretty sure they just want to ensure we can actually secure internships so I think it'll be chill! at least its not an mmi (I did one of those and they're rlly scary LOL)

yay congrats! when is yours? and how are u prepping?

Email! It came in 9:33am (EST)

got into dalhousie!

yea! also feeling some impostor syndrome lol (second guessing if i would even be a good slp). In previous years Dal got back to some tsudents around this week so its even more frightening + 5 more weeks until the end of classes for me so im also drowning in work. Goodluck to everyone though!

march 20 10:15!

@Jen2022 @JayBb just got interview invite!

hopefully! I'm so anxious now since you mentioned they're starting now 😅

oh thanks for sharing! did you get an email?

i think the average for interviews is around a 3.83-3.84. the cut-off might be like a 3.82 maybe? i do think its just a few points lower than last year.

me too!!

really angsty too 😆 but last year my friend got an email on the 17th and I also saw some responses on a thread around the 22nd. It's def this week/early next week! I'm at Mac for undergrad and next week is our reading week and I know they release it just before then so fingers crossed!

they should especially for schools that accept a CV and a statement of interest/purpose since you can talk about it and what you learned!
