2015 Canadian SLP Thread!

[SLPfromBC]

Accepted at Ottawa!

 

Good luck to everyone

[bcslp]

How have people been contacted by U of T? Have you found out through email?

[kats]

Yay!!! I got in to U of T my number one choice!!

 

This is my second time applying there and one of my best friends lives in Toronto! I am so excited that I jumped up and hit my head in my tiny Tokyo apartment.

 

If you don't get in this year try again, because the initial rejection makes acceptance so much sweeter!

Hi SLPhopeful2014, I received an email from U of T just after 9:30 (Toronto time).  They mailed admissions packages this morning, so I assume they mailed all decisions. Good luck!

 Thanks for the information. I guess that means I didn't get in.

I emailed Mabel.. she responded to me. I got waitlisted at U of T. I guess I should be happy, but I really am not. Hoping I get in eventually.

Don't lose hope, there's still a good chance you could get in! I will be making a decision within the next week, so a spot could be open at UWO or U of T.

As per your question that you mentioned before about choosing between U of T and Western.

I have a friend who is the current student president at UWO SLP. These are the things that she has told me.

If you have an interest in kids and teenagers, then perhaps UWO would be a good fit. If you have an interest in adults, then U of T is stronger at that.

She said that the in house clinic at UWO is amazing and a great experience. She also said that she worked with the faculty to make changes to the program and clinic resources so that it is better for next years' students. She said something about the clinic will have all new tests and resources.

 

Hope this helps I personally prefer U of T but that is because I live in Toronto! Both are great schools and both have great resources!

Thanks nins, that's very helpful!  All the best!

Also in at U of T! I believe I will be accepting U of T and declining Western and McGill!

[shleew]

Got accepted to Western and U of T! Any information on which is preferred and why would be appreciated! 

[emmehta]

Hi everyone, 

 

I just stumbled across this board a couple of days ago. I'd like to congratulate everyone who got accepted. I've been offered admission at U of T and Western, but will most definitely be going to U of T. So that will clear up a spot for those of you on Western's waitlist  

 

U of Ters, would you like me to create a Facebook group? Or does anyone know if one already exists?

Yes!! I tried looking and couldn't find one so let me know if you do!

As a long time lurker on grad cafe, I do suggest that you take a look at the previous Canadian SLP forums (2013 and 2014) as people often had discussions about the pros and cons of each program.

 Oh! Thanks so much for letting us all know! I'll delete the other group It's so nice of you guys to be willing to answer our questions! 

[nb10dj]

I haven't heard from U of T at all. Are they letting us know of rejections as well? I don't have a grad portal with them nor do I have an email contact. Help!

[thinkslp]

Is there anyone here who was accepted/waitlisted to Alberta, but will be withdrawing themselves, because they were accepted somewhere else? I'm on the waitlist, and I'm really hoping to get off of it.

I contacted U of T SLP this afternoon to ask this question and was told that emails were sent out this morning only to applicants who were accepted or wait listed and that rejections were sent out by regular mail today.

Congrats to everyone who was accepted!!

 

I haven't heard from UofT today so I'm assuming I didn't get in.

 

I am 95% sure I will be declining my acceptance to Western because I also got accepted to Alberta. I like the structure of the Alberta program more, and my boyfriend lives in Vancouver. So although it's a bit pricier to live in Edmonton, I think it's the school for me

 

Does anyone know if all 56 people are always in the same classes together at Alberta?

[Minnie7]

Anyone that has heard from Dalhousie, did you receive information through e-mail or regular mail? Or a combination? Just wondering if anyone has been accepted or what not from the second wave of acceptances that some other users have mentioned previously?

I think so. I registered for courses a couple days ago and all the classes are only offered at one time. Labs were broken into two or three different time slots though so they are smaller.
