Not sure! But their email says they won't answer any emails about waitlist position/probability inquiries, and also that there is no particular order for their waitlist, which is interesting.

Does anyone know how many spots UBC reserves for BC residents and how many are up for grabs for people from other provinces? They mention that people from BC are favored/preferred on their website.

Hey! I applied to Audiology at UBC and when I spoke to Winnie Wong about the reserved seats she said a majority of the seats are held for residents of BC, Yukon, NWT and Nunavut, no specific number. She didn't specify if that was just for the AUDI program but I believe it holds true for both the AUDI program and the SLP program. Hope this helps a little bit!

I spoke with Winnie back in February, and she said that it's a government mandate in BC that 90% of admitted students have to be BC, Yukon, or NWT, or Nunavut residents.

I have not heard anything 

[MaddySLP]

Just heard from Dal this afternoon got waitlisted for both SLP and Audiology, wondering if anyone is planning on declining their acceptance from Dal?

Has anyone else not heard back from UBC yet?

[speechietobe23]

Hi everyone 1st time poster here! I was advised by Janet that I am in the top of the 2nd quadrant at Western for SLP! I've also been accepted to the CDA programs and I'm planning to go into that program if I don't hear back from Western. Right now I am trying to plan for both scenarios ?

Anyone else in the same boat? PM me if you are, would love to hear your thoughts!

I haven't and it's driving me crazy! I'm assuming it'll be a rejection at this point since they've already sent out acceptance and waitlist offers, but it'd be nice to know for sure :( 

[SpeechST]

Hey guys! Some people on previous forums have speculated that the U of A waitlist offers are sent in the order of the waitlist. Feel free to message me if you would like to share the time you received your offer Congratulations to everyone both accepted and waitlisted

Wow... that's such a huge percentage. Not even sure if it's worth it then to apply out of province. ?

Hey everyone! I got my official acceptance letter from U of A today and I accepted my offer!!! Super exciting! I will be declining Dal so hopefully someone else hears from them soon! Also I won't be taking McGill's offer if I end up getting off the waitlist. Goodluck to all of you and can't wait to meet those of you who are also accepting U of A

[SpeechGirl1212]

Anyone else declining their offer to DAL? 

Edited April 9, 2021 by SpeechGirl1212

Question. I have a conditional acceptance at UofA pending completion of my stats prereq; does anyone know if I have to actually do well in this course or can I just pass it? LOL
