speechie97 Posted March 6, 2021 Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) Hey everyone. I had trouble finding an Audiology forum for Canadian universities so I decided to make one myself! I am from Newfoundland and originally I was only going to apply to SLP programs, but I figured out that I had all the pre-reqs for Western's AUDI program so I thought I would apply there Ideally, I would like to become an SLP, but an audiologist is tied for first as well so either one I would be quite please about! Good luck to everyone!! Edited March 6, 2021 by speechie97 AudiOntario 1
sugoaxel Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Hi, I'm new to this forum. I only applied to Western, what is the main thing they look for in the admissions process? I have a lot of volunteer experience, but not any audiology-related volunteer experience at all. Applied to: Western Accepted / Waitlisted / Rejected
Audi1998 Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Hi guys! I've applied to UBC and I am sooo nervous waiting to hear back!! I have a lot of audiology experience (volunteer at a not-for-profit helping low income Deaf and hard of hearing individuals as well as working as an assistant in an audiology clinic for about 6 months and some job shadowing) but I'm nervous about my GPA. I think I have about a 3.70 on UBC's 4.33 scale (about 80%) average in my last two years. I did a biology degree for my undergrad and some of those hard science courses did a number on my GPA. It seems like this program is just so competitive but it's so exciting to think about getting in! Any other hopeful UBC Audi students out there? Applied to: UBC Accepted / Waitlisted / Rejected sugoaxel 1
AudiOntario Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 Hey guys anyone else insanely nervous about April 1st?? These next 10 days are gonna feel so long

AudiOntario Posted March 31, 2021 Posted March 31, 2021 When does U of T release their SLP admissions

Moe95 Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 What time do they normally send out the acceptance letters? And is it done via email, ORPAS, or western website?

ORPAS updates the next day i believe. Not 100% sure tho! I'm waiting up ???
sugoaxel Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 Hey guys, Mine says "Waitlist Accepted", and a blue square is showing on the status, does that means I already get off the waitlist or I'm on the waitlist?

speechie97 Posted April 1, 2021 Author Posted April 1, 2021 I, unfortunately was not accepted. For those who were accepted or waitlisted, congratulations, you should be proud!!! Just a heads up, for SLP, if you are waitlisted, you can email Janet and she will tell you what quadrant you are in on the waitlist, but nothing else! I'm assuming it's the same for audiology, but I could be wrong! sugoaxel 1
