SLPhopeful17 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Does anyone know if we also need to accept through western student centre if we're accepting Western's program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeechWannaB Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 CONGRATS to everyone on their acceptances so far...such an exciting time! I have been accepted to both Western and Toronto and will most likely be accepting Toronto so that will open up a spot on Western's waitlist. If anyone else whose accepting Toronto wants to chat send me a message or perhaps we should start a FB group! I will definitely be looking for roommates next September and am so excited to meet everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a position on the waitlist (?) but I thought that information was impossible to get. Thanks! Hey so when I received the email from McMaster there was a letter attached that did tell me my position on the waitlist! I know Western does not make this known but it was forsure nice to know where I stood, even though I have firmly accepted my offer to U of T! embenAUD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I doubt they'd send anything on the weekend. I read on here that someone talked to admin and they said if you didn't find out by April 1st it doesn't mean you didn't get in but that's not giving me very much hope unfortunately. I can't wait any longer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLP2BE2017 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Does anyone know when they start calling waitlisted people? Is there a set date or do they start as soon as individuals reject their offers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chspee Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 On 3/31/2017 at 0:21 PM, JessieBear said: I am in the same boat!!! I am currently taking introduction to linguistics as well as phonetics courses and will be completed these by the end of April after exams. I am not worried about these courses as I am doing very well. I am also currently taking an online physiology course (not anatomy, but similar thing I suppose) through Athabasca University. I have a year to complete the course, but I am trying to complete it in 5 months haha (since ORPAS needs final grades by June 30th...yet U of T gave a different date on their website...I will need to ask them about that)! So far I am on track but definitely feel stressed that I won't finish in time or won't get a decent mark. Hang in there. Ooh thank you! I emailed UofT, we have until Aug 1 for all pre-reqs course transcripts to be in. LOL I dared ask "what if its not a B+" and they mentioned the offer may be revoked. So the pressure is on!

SpeechPath1 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Hello! I wish I knew about this Forum (or the GradCafe in general) before! You all sound so lovely and helpful! I too am wondering about your opinions on the schools. Many of you seem really excited about specific programs, so what is it that you like about them? Every school seems to say that it is the best. I'm sure they're all incredible, but I'm having trouble deciding! Thank you! So far I've been accepted to UBC, UofT, and Western. I declined the interview at McMaster, and have been waitlisted at UofA, McGill, and Dalhousie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In total shock. I haven't graduated with my bachelor's yet (summer is my last semester) and I'm from BC so I only applied at UBC. I had a lot of self-doubt as my GPA isn't as amazing as many of the other people on here, but I guess my work/volunteer/research experience helped out. Feeling super excited!! Anyone else get a call from them today? I saw that someone started a FB group for another school to get to know everyone, anyone interested in one for UBC?

I think it'd be great if you could start a Facebook Group (: I have also been accepted to UBC and I am definitely interested in a Facebook group!

SLPlease? Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I find it interesting how schools differ on their selection processes and application requirements. I had applied to five schools across Canada for the 2017 intake, and was rejected by 4/5 (not waitlisted for any). It seems that GPA is probably the most heavily weighted component of everyone's applications, so I wonder how fine of a distinction committees make beyond an applicants GPA. Also, congrats to those who have received admission offers to UBC! slp_wannabe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
