Chxnfu Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Has anyone heard anything about audiology at Dal? Do you know if I got waitlisted last year, my chances are good for acceptance this year? I'm stressing. I hope they send out an answer - any answer - asap. Hopefully they do it in bunches. hopefulslpp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it won't be until next week like last year. I haven't asked but we definitely have to be hearing back soon, I can't imagine how much longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were sending acceptances out in waves? Or what it means to have received an early acceptance? Also, did you apply to both AUD and SLP?

I also applied to Dal but speech-language. I asked someone currently attending Dals SLP program and they said some received letters early while others received them the first few days in April. As for the waitlisted stats I'm not too sure, but my fingers are crossed for you!!! waiting is so stressful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks:) They didn't say anything about any of that in the acceptance email, but I got rejected last year and they said then that there was over 500 applications for 39 spots in both the SLP and AUD programs. But it sounds like Dalhousie is a little all over the place with acceptances, so there might be hope for you still! I only applied for SLP.

To speak to this point - I feel like it really depends on the applicant pool in a given year. I have a friend that has gone through the application process 3 times, and the first two times she was waitlisted at multiple schools (one of them being Dal) and then the third time she applied she didn't get waitlisted or accepted anywhere. I don't want to discourage you at all, and wishing for all the best for you this time around! Just sharing an unfortunate reality of how tough this process can be sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chxnfu Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Just emailed Dal. Here’s what I got as a response: “We send out our offers in batches. We have sent some out already, but more will be sent out within the next 6 weeks or so. We will also be notifying applicants if they have been waitlisted. Thank you for your patience.“ hope this helps someone! SarahSLP23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLPplease1 Posted March 17, 2023 Author Share Posted March 17, 2023 April 3rd?? Offers have gone out for at least 2 universities (Univ of A, Dal). Go figure. Anyone contacted U of T to find out when they will send offers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone contacted U of T to find out when they will send offers? I don't think the UofAlberta has sent out any offers yet. I think the person that posted that they go into the UofA was referring to the University of Arizona, because many US school sent out their decisions on Mar. 7th & 8th. As for Dal they have been for the last few years very sporadic and random in how they send out their acceptances. Any school that goes through ORPAS for their applications releases their decisions (accepted, rejected, waitlisted) all on the same day, usually the first Monday of April, which this year is April 3rd. So that includes Western, UofT, and McMasters (if you received an interview). 55slp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorTom10 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 The U of A site says "The department plans to email all applicants their results by the end of May, 2023. Thank you for your patience during this time." So I'm pretty sure that the other person was talking about the University of Arizona. US schools are much earlier. Basically, I've prepared not to hear anything till May from U of Alberta, otherwise I might go crazy ha 55slp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they just didn’t change one of them from last year. either way, I’m going with the ‘I’ll hear by May’ so I don’t refresh my email too often Edited March 18, 2023 by MajorTom10 Read further down lol 15itspossibleslp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied super last minute last year so overall I didn't put as much effort into my letter of intent and had references that didn't know me as well. I also wrote my thesis in the meantime so that gave me good research experience and then I did a bit of volunteering in the fall.
