congrats!! Would you mind sharing your stats? 

Thank you! According to orpas my sGPA is 3.86, I have 100+ hours of volunteering with SLPs in 2 different settings, and I will be graduating with an honours degree. But I also think my personal statement and reference letters were well suited for UofA’s program! I hope that helps😊

Congratulations to all of you who got into UofA today!!!!!! You all should be very proud because this is a big deal!😊

On a completely unrelated note, to everyone who applied to McGill..... what do you think is gonna happen on the 2nd? Do we think an email will come out at midnight??? Do we think they're still gonna call during the day?!? I know there's no real way of knowing (unless someone called) but i'd love to know what you all think because the nerves are eating me ALIVE

Congratulations to all those who got into U of A today! If anyone is comfortable sharing, what were your stats? & For those of you who were accepted, is U of A your first choice? Or are you hoping to get accepted into another program next week?  Just asking to see what the waitlist movement may look like for Alberta :)

just checked westerns website and it says april 1 is when offers are being sent out?!?! i thought april 3rd?

ORPAS said April 3rd, it's probably a more general release date for applicants who applied through ORPAS. Western will probably send out emails and update their portal on April 1st.

Hi!! I called the other day and asked about this and I was told that they would not release the midnight and it is likely that the emails will be released during the day on the 2nd!

Last year I got a waitlist offer. I got it by email from “McGill SCSD”, subject line Waitlist Offer.

I’ll try to be as informative as I can 😅 

My GPA is 3.77, and I scored 3rd quadrant on the Casper test.

This is my 4th year applying to SLP and 2nd year applying to Alberta.

I think what pushed my application further this year was I really tried to diversify my clinical/volunteer experience. I have about 60ish hours total, I gained about 20 since last application cycle. 

Prior to this year I only had volunteer experience working with kids (articulation and motor speech stuff), but this year I reached out to my local hospital and home care SLPs so I got to see them working with stroke patients, older populations with dementia, swallowing disorders, aphasias, apraxia’s,  etc. I really pulled on that experience in my letter. 
I speak English and French, and over the past year I also began learning American sign language (used the app Lingvano, highly recommend) I figured it could be a useful tool as an SLP and I spoke to that in my letter as well.

Currently Alberta is my top choice, but waiting to hear from McGill and Dal 🤞

Let me know if you have any other questions! Happy to help!
