Hey! I hope you get into UofA, fingers crossed! ❤️ In terms of what you can do until next application season (if you have to apply again), here's what I did. I got into mcgill this round, and it's my first time applying, but I've known I wanted to do SLP for a while now. In this year before applying, I took linguistics courses as an independent undergrad student because 1. I wanted to learn more and 2. it boosted my GPA. I also volunteered in 2 SLP settings (private clinic with kids, and community centre with adults). It sounds like you've got the SLP exposure already with your job which is amazing. Perhaps taking extra classes would help with GPA. In terms of rejection, I totally get how you're feeling. When I finished my BA in psych I applied for 2 masters programs in psych and got rejected, it totally sucked. What made me feel better was seeking out opportunities to get more experience and add to my CV to make it better (and I ended up changing career paths because of this). I took 2 years off between my BA and this masters in SLP, and people told me that being out of school will make you not want to go back, but I never felt that way. I never lost momentum because I was always seeking out opportunities that would eventually help me go back to school. But, many times throughout this 2 years I felt lost and aimless like you said. What helped me is thinking about what I would say to a friend in my situation. I am also very hard on myself and this helps me with that. Best of luck with everything and my messages are open if ever. You got this!!

I was accepted into McGill's SLP program this year, if ever anyone has questions I'm more than happy to answer. My messages are open. 😊

I am from Quebec!

Got into McGill! Email at 1:30 pm and phone call at 4:30 pm today. Good luck to everyone ❤️

I noticed that McGill added this blurb to their SLP program webpage under the "How to Apply" tab. Just thought others might want this info! Information for Prospective Students to the M.Sc.A Program We were very pleased to receive a large number of applicants to the M.Sc.A Program. We are excited to review the applications. We will send information to applicants soon about next steps. Currently you may need information about the new tuition regime introduced by the Quebec provincial government. The new rules will not impact applicants who are residents of Quebec. There will be impacts for those applicants who come from outside Quebec, specifically: Tuition fees will rise by approximately 33% per year. There will be no extra French language requirements. Our program continues to be offered over a 24-month period. Our program is taught in English. Internships can be offered in English, French or bilingually.

@mcgillslp I think we should hear back around March 15-25, based on the McGill website and previous posts on here about when people got their offers. I also applied to McGill. Good luck!

I abbreviate S-LP in my personal statement. I've had a prof (in a related field) review it and I asked about it, they thought it was totally fine.

I saw this post on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/mcgill/comments/m3xzhh/got_accepted_in_slp_at_mcgill_with_a_low_gpa/ It seems like people can get into competitive schools without a super high gpa

Hi everyone! Just got my Casper score back, I'm in the 2nd quartile. I'm applying to McGill's SLP program. Does anyone know of any applicants who have gotten into McGill with a Casper score in the 2nd quartile? My application is otherwise strong (I think).
