When they called me, the professor said it would be from 11-1! Also, they might make a recording available for those who cannot attend or stay the whole time

Please do let me know if anyone receives any email with a link for the open house!

I've just received an email that I've been waitlisted for UBC's audiology program so they must be sending out acceptances today!

Wow congrats!! Thanks for the update

Out of curiosity is there a list that shows the number of applicants to each SLP program? I only see the one on the OUAC website that goes up until 2016 (and therefore excludes Mac.) Thanks!

In addition to what @DreamingofSpeechlinked to, for the non-Ontario schools I believe for U of A Vicki mentioned 200 on some years and for this year it was closer to 250. 

I believe McGill gets around 300 (they have a 10% acceptance rate and a class size of ~30?).

UBC has 150-200 on their website FAQ, but I believe they have numbers as high as ~250 in some info session presentations.

No idea for Dal, sorry!

This page offers more detailed info on UBC but unfortunately it not separated out by Audi vs SLP (and also the application numbers seem weirdly low compared to what I've heard, but I'm assuming it's accurate given that it is directly from UBC). Scroll down to & click on "ENROLMENT, DURATION & OTHER STATS". 

I hope this helps!

Does anyone know where you can find information on tuition costs for the SLP program at Western? I found if for Dalhousie but did not see it anywhere on Westerns website

A bit hard to find but for fall 2020 I think it was this: 

from https://www.registrar.uwo.ca/student_finances/fees_refunds/fee_refund_schedules.html

Congratulations to everyone that was accepted and good luck to everyone who’s waiting or will be applying again next year! As everyone starts making their decisions please update the 2021 declining offers page. It will really help ease some of the stress for everyone on the waiting list ?

 

[Owl.on.a.Slide]

I'm in the 3rd quadrant for SLP at Western. I guess I'll talk to some of you again for the 2022 application session ?

[speechdreams99]

My ORPAS finally fixed the expiry date for the Western offer from the 8th to the 16th like its supposed to be in case anyone else was having the same problem

[SpeechieDream]

Has anyone been accepted to U of A that has not completed the indigenous studies certificate course yet? Wondering how we show them proof of completion, my understanding is that we have until September to complete it?

I sent an email over the weekend and I know that there must be a big backlog but I haven't heard anything back yet and I am once again obsessing

Edit: I literally just got the email right after I posted this I am also in the 3rd quadrant

I think you just send Vicki the certificate when you have it completed. I did it over winter break and just added it at the end of my checklist when I applied

Can you take your time with it (can I start it now, then get really into it after my courses end in April) or is it on a schedule?

Not September, but early August! On their website it says "The recommended course is the Indigenous Canada MOOC for certificate due by August 1 of the admission year."

Heyy, I was wondering which email you emailed and what exactly did you ask?
