Owl.on.a.Slide Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 4 hours ago, KSpeech said: Does anyone know how far into the waitlist Western went last year in terms of acceptances/seats available after April 15th? Janet has informed me that I'm in the first quadrant but not sure if Western usually gets through the whole first quadrant lool, any insight would be helpful!!! Yes I confirm what the poster above said. A few people that were in the second quadrant got off the waitlist in the summer, and according to a recent post two spots freed up in September (!!). I think it might have been halfway through the 2nd quadrant considering that not all people on the waitlist are in this forum.

The winters suuuuck here, but the U of A is awesome. And we only have 5 percent tax! In all seriousness, a tough decision. Good luck and best wishes!

UnderLing21 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 I just got into UBC as well! Also they offered me an entrance scholarship, which I was absolutely not expecting - anyone else get that too? I got rejected by Western and still haven't heard from U of A so have kind of been assuming that's a rejection as well, so I guess the decision might be made for me lol. But it would be nice to know for sure! Malithi, hopefulslper, Slpyxd and 6 others 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabe_SLP Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Congratulations to everyone accepted the past couple weeks!! I received an offer from UBC today and I am so excited to meet everyone in September Hoping we can start a Facebook group or something! For reference, I was declined from McGill and U of A this year. Waitlisted for UBC last year, and accepted to UBC this year.

SLPrettyPlease Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Is anybody else finding the wait to hear from Dalhousie absolutely excruciating?

I was just wondering, were you able to press accept or decline for your U of A offer on the GSMS portal? I received an offer, and I want accept, but I think they have a delay in updating the portal, because it still says pre-screening for me. I know a number of others that also have been accepted and cannot officially accept it, because the portal hasn't been updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also just heard from someone else who was waitlisted last year the following day so maybe it's not done in order of Accepted, Waitlisted, Rejected? So nerve wracking!!

I think someone previously shared their contact with Vicki and was told that this year, there is some delay on the FGSR side, and they are processing our files now(mine changed to under review sth two days ago and now stays). She said if there is further delay, she will extend our deadline, I assume it means we will not have to miss the original April 15th ddl.

yz123 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Hi everyone, I got accepted into UBC yesterday and will be accepting my offer. This should open up a spot for someone at Toronto and one less waitlist spot for Western. Best of luck and thank you all for your support throughout this application process!

SLP123PLEASE Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 I have started a separate forum so that those on waitlists can get a sense of how many spots are possibly going to be available once people firmly accept their acceptances. If those of you who were offered a position have made a decision on where you're going, could you please comment on this forum and mention: Which schools you were accepted/waitlisted at. Which school you will most likely accept. Thank you SpeechieAlly and aud_hopeful6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
