hey guys, i got off the western waitlist the other day!!

i got an email yesterday from western saying the class was full, but if a spot opens i may be contacted still

i know it was super fast and so upsetting. i asked about the extra seats they had this year (102 total between speech and audi), and they said the allocated all the seats to audiology which brings it from 30 to around 50 now. such a big increase. so slp got no increase which rlly sucks 😢😢

I emailed them to ask yesterday... unfortunately the class is filled as of Tuesday

hey! you can email earmouth email to find out what third you are in. they just wont tell you your exact spot

hey! i emailed and was told i am top third of the waitlist! how about you?

i shadowed an slp who went to mac and she convinced me to apply there as i was not planning on it before. she said that she thought mac grads were the most prepared for clinical because of the way they learn in class. she said that since they do case studies and navigate it in groups essentially, the students adjusted better when it came time to clinical, as the case studies were like real patients in a way. i didn’t get accepted to mac, but she did change my mind to applying there this year! if that’s any help at all hahaha

midnight april 1st

yes decisions are midnight april 1st! i guess the only rolling offers would be for waitlist

what kind of update did you see on your account?

First, are you able to share the link to the discord chat for SLP? Im really interested in being apart of that as well as this. As for your question, I would say maybe they send a conditional offer? I remember seeing somewhere for Dalhousie's applications that you have to send a final transcript in the springtime if you are accepted to show your marks in those courses that were in progress, so maybe it would be a similar situation for western? You could always email them; they're pretty quick at answering any questions (at least in my experience). Hopefully that made sense, lol. Sorry I couldnt be more help

hey! last year the MMIs were sent out around family day i believe? i would assume similar for this year

ya this is the worst part! i check orpas everyday as if the results are going to be in already lmaooo. i applied last year too and i am more confident in my letter this year because now i have gained more experience in the field so i feel like that improved my letters so much. but ya the word count being 3000 characters with spaces, not even letters, makes fitting everything you want to say so difficult. i wish they made it a little longer but im glad its over lol i was editing mine for months.

Hi! Your stats seem pretty good but they use a sub gpa rather than a full gpa meaning they will only consider the average of your most recent courses (10 full or 20 half credit). depending on the school, they do put more emphasis on grades like mcmaster, but i would say your resume looks pretty good! good luck with you applications for next year!

oh that is super weird especially if the application submitted! maybe you could call your bank to see if it will show up in a couple of business days? i hope it all works out
