2025 Canadian SLP Admissions/Prep

[Mak SLP]

Hi everyone! Congratulations to everyone who got accepted! And to those who were waitlisted or didn’t get in this time, don’t give up! It took me two years to get into the program, and I can tell you that all the hard work and stress are worth it. Keep pushing!

I wanted to share that I have a 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home for rent for those accepted to Western University’s SLP program. Rent is $900/month plus utilities. I had the privilege of living with fellow SLP students during my two years in the program, and it was the best decision I made! We were all on the same schedule, which made studying and assignments so much easier.

If you’re interested in learning more or would like to see pictures, feel free to text me at 647-459-3548. My name is Makayla!

Congrats again, and I hope to chat soon! 😊

Also, since many people are asking, what is the groupchat for western SLP?

If I haven’t received a waitlist offer yet, am I to assume I won’t receive one? Anyone know what the cut off day is to receive an offer?

Where did you apply? It seems like Dalhousie is yet to send some of their decisions as it seems like many people are still waiting to hear from them, but as for other schools I’m not sure if they are still sending decisions out or not. And you’ve checked for anything accidentally sorted to a spam/junk folder?

 From what I understand, for all Canadian SLP programs, the deadline to accept initial offers was April 15th. So now that April 15th has passed most schools are probably starting to send out offers to people who were waitlisted. But that doesn’t mean it was a deadline for them sending all decisions, just their first round of acceptances. I would imagine waitlist decisions could still be sent out. I’m sorry you haven’t heard anything yet, that is frustrating.

I believe most waitlist offers have been going out after April 15. Depending on the school, I would still wait as I've heard some people getting offered a spot from now until May, sometimes even August. It kinda sucks cause we never really know when we'll get off the waitlist, but I wouldn't assume you won't receive one. It's still early! My fingers are crossed for you!!

Western sends out waitlist offers every 24 hours, depending on acceptances vs rejections. They send out an offer, wait 24 hours to hear back, and then depending on the response, continue to move down the list. In theory, people could back out of their spot or hear from another school elsewhere up until classes start, so it is difficult to say whether or not you will hear back. But I can't imagine any schools send all their waitlist offers out in one day, as they could receive too many or too few acceptances and then be in a tough situation.
