19SPEECHIE Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 For anyone who has applied in previous years and was waitlisted: If haven’t heard anything from Western yet about being accepted off the waitlist, what are my chances of receiving that call? I’m starting to get discouraged, especially because it seems like so many people on this forum are rejected their offers to Western. I know they technically can call you throughout the summer, since people might pull their offer at the last minute, etc., but how do you deal with the waiting!? Thank you!

SLPapplicant6 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Hello! I got my call from Western on Thursday and I am soooo excited! This was my second year applying. I was waitlisted at Western last year as well but ultimately did not receive an offer so to get one this year is such a dream come true! I was wondering if anyone else was still unable to see their offer on ORPAS? I know Janet said it would take a couple days but I just want to make sure. Also - is there a Western facebook group yet? I would love to connect with everyone! _speechie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also got accepted on Thursday and my offer hasn't appeared on ORPAS today either, so hopefully they show up for us tomorrow and then things will be more official! I would also love to know if there is a facebook group for Western!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speechpathstudent Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 On 4/17/2019 at 12:24 AM, anonymous64 said: Hi, to those who got into UBC, how much research experience did you guys have? And how involved were you in research projects (E.g. did you publish a paper, etc.)? Thanks I honestly did not have much research experience at all. The extent of my research experience was this small scale research project that I had to do for a upper level class. I talked about that in my LOI as well as the areas of SLP that I’d be interested in potentially researching and I think my other volunteer experience made up for it. I volunteered at an acoustics conference and one of my professors that wrote my reference letter was aware of that, so I think she may have mentioned that as well (and I had that on my resume also).

slpslpslp3 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 For those going to Western, if you need somewhere to live that’s on campus, PM me. I’m a Western student who will most likely be attending Mac for SLP next year and need someone to take over my lease! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
