SLPWaitlisted Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 21 minutes ago, speechy_123 said: Does anyone know if there's a way to decline waitlist for McMaster? I would think there should be so that other people on the waitlist can move up, but ORPAS doesn't give you the option to do so, and I'm looking on my student account but there doesn't seem to be an option either. Thanks! Once you've firmly accepted an offer, you're automatically taken off the waitlist from all other schools! I'm not sure if there's another way to be taken off the waitlist though :// Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have read from the schools in Ontario and on the forums, if you provisionally accept an offer, you will still be on the waitlist for other schools until April 30th.On April 30th, if the offer is still provisionally accepted, it will automatically become a firm acceptance and you will be taken off the waitlist of other school! I hope this helps Yes, this is correct! I even contacted ORPAS to confirm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kspeaks123 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I am trying to decide between McGill, UofT and UOttawa. I have heard quite a bit about both the McGill and Toronto programs but don't know a lot about the Ottawa program. I am wondering if anyone has heard from previous students about the structure of the program? I'm having a difficult time deciding so anything you've heard would about any of the programs would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also noticed that it seems like the acceptances that were given out on April 7th were all maritime residents based on their bios, can anyone confirm this? I'm wondering if they might be waiting on out of province acceptances. Edited April 9, 2020 by slpmeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedyspeechy Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) Hi everyone! I've been waitlisted at Ottawa and wasn't accepted to any other schools so I'm trying to figure out whats the best plan for me next semester. For those whom its their second time applying and went back to school after being rejected the first time, did you register as an independent student? Or did you cancel your graduation and continued doing courses as part of your first degree? Edited April 9, 2020 by speedyspeechy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like they’ve sent out their acceptances but no waitlist or rejections yet. I was hoping they would send out the waitlist today before the holiday tomorrow slpmeg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the idea of doing it in French and I have friends who have graduated from there or are still there. One thing I didn't know about is that everyone in the program does Audiology courses so you actually graduate with a Minor in Audiology! That for me was really interesting! kspeaks123 and rmaam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slp2Bpls Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I'm on the waitlist for Western and UBC. Does anyone know what are the odds of being accepted or know people who got in after being waitlisted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slp.dreamer Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Has anyone contacted Dalhousie about admissions recently? I’m trying to stay patient but with the Easter long weekend I doubt we will hear anything until April 14th (one day before the national deadline to accept offers)! Yikes..

SpeechST Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I’ve read that there are about 100 people on the Western waitlist which is kind of discouraging .. does anyone know how many people are on the UofA waitlist? hope you are all doing well !

melspeaks Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 For those who have accepted their uoft offers, do we get an email with our Acorn login info once we accept? It’s been 2 days and I haven’t received anything yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
