Are Alberta decisions coming out this week? 

UofA decisions came out around this time in past years, so I think we can expect to hear back soon!! 🫣

Does UBC require an interview as a part of the process?

For those who got into Dalhousie for 2025 intake, what was your subGPA on a 4.0 scale, and what sorts of things did you mention on your statement of intent? Is anyone here doing a thesis?

Hi. I am only in second year undergrad but thinking ahead to prepare for applying to SLP programs. For the Academic Letters of Reference I understand that they want someone that can speak to your academic abilities. Would this include a professor that you did research work for but did not take a course with. I would think this is ok because research work is academic. However, I thought I once heard or read that reference needs to be someone that you took a uni course with. The UofT website just says that it needs to be a full-time faculty member.

typically, academic means that they need to be a professor you took a course in, who can speak to you academic ability. Certain schools, like UBC, consider lab professors that you work for as a separate type of reference ( I can’t remember the title). Academic professors typically only give you a reference if you get an A- or higher. Be annoying and go to office hours as much as possible and ask questions so that they remember you and you form a relationship!

Hi! So a professor who supervised you in a research setting does not fall under someone who can be your academic reference. Academic references need to be someone who taught you in a class, no other environments such as at a research lab.

Back in 2023 they sent out emails on a Saturday, so it's definitely possible they send us emails this weekend too 😭

I hope everyone's hanging in there with decisions coming soon! I'm wondering if anyone has asked/confirmed that Ontario offers will be coming out April 1? I imagine they can't be rolling offers since they said decisions have to be in by April 15th but want to confirm
