I also have to work early tomorrow morning so I much rather cry tonight than cry before work tomorrow. I am trying to have a positive mindset and remind myself that whatever happens this does not define me. Which is so much easier said than done. 

There is so much more to all of us outside of this entire process. Wishing everyone the absolute best  !!

This is a really important reminder, thank you 💜 My apartment is spotless from distraction cleaning - the nerves are too much!! Sending everyone the very best vibes and luck!

Is anyone else nervously waiting at their computer?!

Yes,  I was refreshing just at midnight and it showed up in the orpas portal.

Congrats to those who got accepted to Western! Do you mind sharing your stats/experiences? I was waitlisted to Western

[Emmaa_]

I got accepted to Western!!! 

[speechenthusiast]

Got accepted to Western and Mcmaster!!!! I am so thrilled. I checked ORPAS and there is no status update for UofT so I'm assuming that I was rejected there. Congrats to everyone no matter what, everyone should be proud ❤️ 

[NicoleSLP]

I got an update for Western but I haven't heard anything for UofT or Uottawa! so hopefully I hear back soon.

Haven't received anything from uottawa either

Congratulations to you all! Unfortunately, I was rejected by Western and waitlisted by McMaster. And I did not hear back from UofT yet, so I am sadly expecting some sad news. As this is my first time applying to SLP grad schools, I do not feel too dejected. But maybe the sad feeling will kick in later. It will be a long and hard journey to reapply again next year (if I don’t make it off the waitlist) but hopefully my experience this year will make the reapplication journey easier! 

[Jen SLP]

I got waitlisted at western!!! 

[speechbean]

Has anyone else heard anything from UofT? I haven’t got anything. 

[ukeSLP]

I also got accepted to UofT!! Congrats everyone!!!

I remember last year I didn't get an email from them until the morning which I think a couple other people mentioned as well, so I wouldn't wait around for it tonight

[Lucky11]

I got rejected to Western and waitlisted to McMaster. Does anyone know if McMaster typically discloses waiting list positions? I've emailed to ask so I'll check back in once they email me back hopefully in the next couple of days. Nothing from UofT so like many I am assuming that means I got rejected.  

Congrats to everyone who got an offer of acceptance   Genuinely so happy and proud of all of you ❤️ !

Hey Everyone!

I've been a lurker for 2 years now and honestly have been feeling really low. The last 2 years I have applied to grad school to UBC, UofA, UofT, Western, Mcmaster, and Dalhousie, and as of now I've been rejected from every school thus far aside from Dalhousie, UBC, and UofT. My hopes are really low this year, and I genuinely have done everything I can to gain entry into these schools including finishing in the fourth quartile of the casper, shadowing 4 clinicians, working as a teacher, volunteering as a literacy tutor, being a research assistant, and a few other smaller roles. 

Does anyone have any tips to strengthen my chances of acceptance? Being an SLP has been a dream ever since I was a kid, so having to face repeated defeats has been brutal, but definitely not brutal enough to throw in the towel. 

Any advice would be absolutely amazing

Thank you very much!

Did anyone find out about acceptances for Mcmaster or Western through email? Because I haven't gotten an email, just saw through ORPAS and through the school portals
