Hopeful_SLP Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 I noticed in an old thread that U of T used to have a web portal for applicants. I haven't received a link or any communication from them and just assumed I'd get an email when they've made their decision. Other U of T applicants, were you sent a link to an online portal?

SLP13* Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Hi everyone, I am curious if anyone has heard of anyone applying to SLP with a MSc degree. I am wondering if this adds a competitive edge to applications. I haven't come across anyone in a similar position. Thanks!
june_lu Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) Hi everyone! They were making calls for UBC acceptances today! (I got in!) Best of luck to those who applied! Edited March 24, 2016 by june_lu
kkerr66 Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Hi Everyone, Very roller coaster day today. First rejection email from Dalhousie and then an acceptance call from UBC! I am still waiting to hear from the University of Alberta. But over the moon! For those of you that didn't get the response they were hoping for don't give up! If this is your passion keep fighting for it!
psycoleinguist Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Hey everyone! I emailed Vicki from U of A today about acceptance offers, and here's her response: "The department has sent out offer letters. The department moved back the deadline so that students had enough time to send in transcripts with fall grades. The department will send out all other letters to applicants once our quota has been reached. This may not be until May or June. Thank you." Well, I think it's back to square one again.
treaclemineroad Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Good news, McGill's deadline to accept offers of admission have been extended to April 7th. So, they are no longer forcing a decision before U of Toronto starts sending out offers, which was ridiculous. I will most likely be going with McGill, which will mean an open spot for the Dal and U of Alberta waitlisters. I haven't done it yet, though. lindzzz 1

An MSc is research thesis based, not grades anyways!
klfstudent Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Anyone know when orientation and the first day of classes would be for U of A? In this academic calendar it says September 1st is the first day of classes for all students except those in rehabilitation medicine. http://calendar.ualberta.ca/content.php?catoid=6&navoid=1055#academic-schedule-2016-2017

I still don't know if McGill is my first choice or second behind Toronto. And I'm trying really hard not to think about it until after I finish writing my GD honours thesis. But it is super hard not to. Not gonna lie, I'm a little excited that you are likely to go to McGill, even though I don't know you at all. More potential classmates! If I go there too then I hope we become good pals.

Must have been a nice chunk of cash they got from that strategy *Ahem* help me get off the McGill waitlist... Although I would love Toronto too. It's a weird position not knowing whether or not I'll be going to school at all in September, so at this point I really don't care as long as SOMEONE accepts me! lindzzz 1

I already know someone who is going to be in the McGill class, although I don't know him very well (at the very least, we know the class isn't going to be 100% female, lol). I'm sure you'll get into U of Toronto no problem, though. Follow your dreams/listen to your heart/do the right thing (my advice tends to be very generic, what can I say?).
