EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Hiiiii! I'd be happy to, having scoured past threads for stats myself in the past! I have a 3.9 subGPA (I think, I never got it officially calculated, this is just an estimate based on my own calculations). I also have a 4.0 GPA for the prereqs; even though they officially only look at your last 60 credits I think prereq GPA is still important (even if you took those prereqs earlier in your undergrad career), as I once met someone who applied with a ton of experience, a banging statement of intent and a 3.8 GPA, but unfortunately their prereq GPA was a 3.4, and I believe that may be why they couldn't get in (though I don't know for sure). I also had quite a wide range of volunteering experience over a period of about 3 years (didn't start volunteering really until 2nd year (I took 5 years also)), and though each one didn't have a ton of hours, I think the level of diversity was helpful (you also don't have to list the hours on your resume). I worked with preschoolers, teens, and older adults with a variety of communication disorders (Autism, Aphasia, stutters, etc...) just tried to get as much as I could. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to pursue research twice via scholarships, and both supervisors kindly wrote me letters of recommendation (try looking for research scholarships, usually they're not super competitive and may even be desperate for applicants). I also did some volunteer research work (I got the opportunity simply by searching for faculty members, reading their areas of research, then cold emailing those whose research appealed to me), and this volunteering helped me get the scholarships I think. I'm kind of nervous sharing this, I hope I don't get in trouble haha. Hope this is helpful! You absolutely got this

Hello!!! Just wanted to let you guys know I received an offer of admission from the UofA today (April 2nd) at 2:45PM. My portal hasn't changed though..... they said it would later. But yeah! I'm really excited! It's the only school I applied to so I was really putting all my eggs in one basket, but luckily it worked out! Good luck to everybody who applied here, hope to see you soon
