ubc is just an estimation. they say that 120-150 applicants apply to slp and audiology so just to be safe, i assumed 50:50

Hi Everyone,

 

Just wondering if anyones application for U of A has switched from 'Pre-Screening' to 'Under Review' yet? 

Mine is still in the 'Pre-screening' still. I heard that UofA takes a while to review them, and send out offers. Someone had said that the UofA told them they were reviewing applications this week, but I don't think they've started yet.

Hi, I'm a current UBC student. The audiology program is small, they only have 12 spots and receive a lot less applications. I'm not sure what the specific numbers for SLP applicants are, but the majority of applications are for SLP, so the estimate applicant number would be higher than 50:50. My guess is closer to 90:10 or 80:20 ish

I got accepted to the U of A!! Last year I was waitlisted and felt so discouraged. If you don’t get accepted this year, just keep trying and don’t give up!

Congratulations! I have received an acceptance as well ?

Congratulations!! I wasn’t expecting an acceptance because I heard that most people don’t get accepted the first time around. It was really nice to see that all my work paid off. :) 
 

Can’t wait to meet you all in the fall!

Congratulations everyone! Mine still says 'Pre-Screening' feeling a little discouraged 

Don’t lose hope!! There are people who are bound to reject their offers.

I got accepted to U of A!!!!! I'm so relieved and excited, I definitely thought I didn't have a strong enough application. It was my first choice! Congrats everyone! Fingers crossed to those still waiting :)

I also received an acceptance to U of A!! This feels crazy. Did anyone get the email requesting an extra transcript? 

I didn't get the email but I also don't know if I'm checking in the right places. There also isn't a button to accept or decline my offer yet so I'm not sure if maybe it hasn't been updated yet?

Don't feel awful!! They send out acceptances in waves, and they've only started today! There's still plenty of time and hope! :)

I just checked my email and I got accepted!!! I agree, it's slowly hitting me and I'm in shock. I also got asked to update some transcript and to check the portal to see if I can do that. My portal still says pre-screeing and that my application status is pending still. 

Congratulations to everyone who got in!!! I can't wait to meet all of you this fall! And to everyone else, there's still hope! 

Cheers

If you don’t mind me asking, did you just get your email or was it this morning? :) And congratulations on your acceptance! :D

To those wondering about the transcript, I was confused too. I emailed Vicky and mentioned that I had no transcript update prompt and she said it was just for people who didn't include a transcript with grading scales/up-to-date transcripts so I didn't need to upload one! So I think that if you don't get the email on the portal, then you're fine!
