I am waitlisted for an interview at Mac. Crossing my fingers that some applicants decline their interviews! 

Could you send me your sub GPA also? Thanks and goodluck!!

For Mac's written component for MMI does anyone have any idea if its handwritten or typed? Thanks!

Handwritten!

This is kind of a random question, but when the final decisions come out in April, if you were to be placed on the wait list, how long could you be on it? 

I’m asking because I got into CDA programs as a back-up for SLP, and I have to confirm those offers/find housing by May 1st. 

Last year I only applied to one school and was put on the waitlist in April. I was offered admission to the program at the end of August (after I had already given up hope and booked a 2 month trip on the other side of the world ?). Although I feel like this was a rare case and that most people would find out way sooner. This year if I'm offered a spot on the waitlist, I won't lose hope or make plans until the programs actually start.

Oh my god! 

Do you mind sharing what school you were waitlisted at? The only school I’m waiting on is Western (only applied to 2 this year). Do either you or does anyone have insight to the waitlist for Western!?

Congratulations to everyone that got an interview at MacMaster! I applied but sadly didn't get one. I only applied to MacMaster and U of A so hoping for the best. Does anyone know when we might hear from U of A?

I applied to SLP at McMaster, however I have not been sent an e-mail about an interview offer, waitlist, or rejection. My mosaic status for SLP still says pending but I'm not sure what that means. Does anyone know how i can check my status? Or is it best to call and ask the office tomorrow? For anyone who was waitlisted, I am curious if sGPA was below 3.77?

The cut off for Mac interview this year was a 3.77. I received an interview after being on the waitlist and my subgpa is a 3.76.

A little hope for those of you who didn't get an interview at McMaster - I didn't last year either but got accepted directly to another school. Programs weigh things differently so try not to put yourself down too much!

Where are you now SLPapplicant123?

Hello Everyone,

I'm currently an 2nd year undergraduate student and I recently changed my direction towards SLP. I have completed some linguistics and psychology courses. Furthermore, I have worked in an daycare setting, tutoring young children and currently working with an SLP. My question to you all is, how much does your CGPA matter? My first year at university was horrible, I was unsure of what I want to pursue and had taken business and math courses that have really screwed up my GPA. Do grad schools look at this, would any of you advise to retake such classes? I'm nervous my GPA won't be as high when applying. Would they notice the large discrepancy between my SubGPA and CGPA?  Any advice would be helpful guys!

Good luck to everyone applying this year, you have all worked so hard for this.

Dal!

[SLP-14]

Hello! 

Just wondering if anyone has heard anything regarding acceptance/rejection from Dal this year? I got confirmation that all my documents had been received at the end of January, but was just wondering if anyone has heard anything about actual acceptance or rejection. Or if anyone knows when people typically hear from Dal.

Looks like last year the first acceptances were sent out Mar 7th! Hopefully in the coming week?

I haven't but someone above was given an interview.

[slpleaseletmeintoslp]

Hi everyone! 

I keep hearing that the universities in Ontario look for different things when considering the applicants. Does anyone know (or have any idea) of what they might be? I have heard that UofT is partial to applicants with research experience but does anyone know about the other schools?

Thanks

[19SPEECHIE]

Best of luck to everyone participating in the MMIs at McMaster tomorrow! ?

[sm2572]

Hi guys! 

Just wondering if anyone who got into DAL last year would be willing to share their stats? I've a lot of different information regarding how they weigh the components of applications! 

Thanks!!

Last year I received a letter in the mail saying I was waitlisted for Dal on March 13th. So I'm hoping we will hear any day now!

Thanks for letting me know @slp.dreamer! It would be so nice to know this week! Did you get an email too? I find it confusing how some people get letters mailed while others get emails. 

[SpeechPlease]

Anyone hear anything about UofT? Still no portal?

[SpeechM]

Hey everyone! I’ve been reading this thread for a while and I finally decided to contribute. This is my first year applying to speech! I applied at UofA and McGill. Do you think McGill will start contacting people this week? ?
