For anyone on Western's waitlist, you can email Janet and ask what quadrant you're in on the waiting list! I'm in the second quadrant.

Has anyone heard from UBC yet? I think they mentioned early-April on their website.

Hey! I’m actually in a similar situation. I got in to McGill and Western. I’m actually leaning toward moving out of province! I think Ontario is full of unique experiences but I’ve already completed my undergrad close to home so I think moving to another province is a good life experience itself. I think it will allow for new opportunities and experiences that I won’t get living close to or at home  I hope my experience helps! Good luck to all and congratulations on getting in

McGill is a really great program!

That's so awesome!! Thank you for sharing your story!! Do you see yourself working more with children or adults in the future? I always thought I wanted to work with adults because I always felt I wasn't that great with kids, but then I got a job working with kids on the spectrum as well and it changed how I felt about it and increased my confidence working with them too so now I'm torn! I figure I'll get a better feel for what I prefer once I do my practicums  

Yea, I've always seen myself working more with the adult/senior population but I really do love what I have seen so far in therapy with children. I think practicums really will help us decide. All SLPs that I have met say that they changed their minds in grad school and ended up working with the opposite population that they were set on before hand. I just can't wait to start at this point - really hoping that the Covid crisis doesn't postpone the programs starting this fall!

I am!!!! I'm from Montreal and although my french is passable, I'm a bit concerned about doing a whole masters in French. I feel like I'm going to need to practice before school starts!

[speedyspeechy]

On the waitlist for Ottawa. Does anyone know how many they accept/put on the waitlist each year around?

I’m also in the second quadrant (but I don’t know where)! If there are around 100 people on the wait list that would mean we are ~25-50, but that’s just my speculation. Do you mind pming me your stats? I hope you get your call!

Do you mind sending them to me as well? I'm also in the second quadrant! Sending good luck your way  

[SpeechST]

Hey   I just found this thread and wanted to congratulate everyone on their acceptances! Does anyone plan on declining U of A or Western? I would just like to see how much the waitlist will be moving
