jec Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Can anybody comment on how strict the grade requirements are for the prerequisite courses for the different SLP programs? I think I read U of T had a B+ requirement for pre-requisites. Is that firm? How about the other programs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I read U of T had a B+ requirement for pre-requisites. Is that firm? How about the other programs? Yes, the U of T B+ requirement is firm (source: went to their info session). Fortunately, they accept an increased/upgraded course grade if you retake courses with a grade lower than this (source: their FAQ). McMaster has a B requirement, and I would say this is also firm as they don't require LORs or anything else in the initial application but those grades and your transcript. So it would make sense the grades are used to weed people out, but I'm just inferring. UBC, McGill, U of A, Western etc. afaik all don't have a grade minimum grade. Hope this helps!

I took it last summer and found it to be one of the most challenging courses in my undergrad so far! The pace of the course is super fast, so do not fall behind! The concepts are not difficult but there is a lot of info to memorize and master within a short period of time. If you consistently complete the readings and do the learning activities you will be fine Wugs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone comment on applying to UBC with multiple linguistics courses only as high as the 200 level? Other relevant course work would be upper level and other pieces of app would be strong. Just debating if worth applying without upgrading the Ling courses. And your 80 - 85% comment, is that for overall GPA or prerequisites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be released some time in the first week or two of February usually. You'll be able to see the calculations in your application under "document tracking" or one of the other areas. They don't send out a notification for this, you just have to check back MHTherapy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeechieWannaB Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Anyone taken the CASPer test? Curious if the 5 min timer starts immediately after the video/scenario is given, or do they give you time to read the questions beforehand? I write on Tues and I'm a bit nervous ? Just trying to calm my nerves and know what to expect. TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey You get the prompt (either video or text) then it gives you 30 seconds to gather your thoughts and immediately moves onto the page with the 3 questions and the 5 minute timer begins. I've written multiple times and it is nerve-wracking and stressful every single time haha, so just do your best! My best advice is to just remember that each section is a fresh start and to do your best to not let any frustration from the previous question carry over.

From what I've read from previous years, UofT does not send out a confirmation email, and it seems like they only give you a student ID/UofT email when/if you get into their program.

It's the subGPA consisting of your last 20 credits, including any you've taken outside of your degree. Last two years of full-time study, give or take.
