NeuroLingThing Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 On 4/16/2017 at 11:48 PM, SLPdreamer1996 said: Hi guys! I'm applying next year (for Fall 2018). I know it's quite early, but since this summer I will be preparing my files, I would like to get a bit of advice for those who have been through this hard process! I am currently a McGill student, with a 3.75 GPA (however subGPA will probably be in the 3.85 area), and have about 2 years of laboratory experience; 1 where I volunteered for 5 months, SLP related laboratory, and the other where I have volunteered since the beginning of my undergrad (non SLP related). I have also had experiences with different needs children, working in two specialized summer camps. I am hoping to also complete a 6 month thesis course to somehow brighten up my CV with a McGill prof (however I was wondering if the thesis is not SLP or linguistics related, would that disadvantage my application?). I've also wanted to volunteer at an SLP clinic, however I am not sure whether it will be one - on - one working with an SLP (which is required for all Ontario universities). I have worked with an SLP for 14 hours (the minimum), but have had an extremely hard time finding an English SLP, since I live in Quebec. I will also be taking the GRE exam (for Dalhousie and UofAlberta). I was wondering if you guys had any advice on how I could imporve my chances? I also wanted to apply to UofT, but they seem to have somewhat changed their pre-reqs classes. It says 'research methods', however prior to that they would have accepted statistics I (McGill), however now, they no longer accept that class, and additionally, the classes that they do accept, no longer exist in McGill! Is there a way that they would still accept statistics I or? Additionally, I received two equivalency approvals from another university (that my class that I took is equivalent to their classes), however the McGill classes are not listed as a pre-reqs at UofT and Western - would it be okay if I simply provide the equivalency letters that McGill has provided or should I also get an equivalency check through my desired SLP universities? Congrats on those who got accepted and for those who didn't, there is always next year Thank you , Hi! I'm in the same boat as you. McGill student thinking of applying next fall. I'm not sure if I will tbh, because I have another career path I'm contemplating and my volunteer experience in relation to this field is limited. You seem super well prepared, and research experience is always good. What is the research you're planning on doing for the thesis course about? I don't think it matters if it's not SLP or linguistics related, because you have some other SLP-related experience in there. Are you sure about the UofT prereqs? It says the classes they had listed up until the changes this year will still be valid up to 2020. Here is a full list of accepted McGill classes: http://www.slp.utoronto.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/McGill-University-Jan-18.pdf. I have to say that their prereqs are really frustrating. I won't be able to apply because I am missing one course, which McGill won't allow me to take because I'm not in the department of psychology.

Was it very difficult? I'm so nervous as my acceptance rides on this! Hello, My tip would be to know your diagrams really well If I remember correctly, the exam uses some of the same diagrams that you were given during the units. You can do it! I'm sorry I don't remember more about the exam, it feels so long ago now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree... I'm not sure what the hold up is for sending rejections. Last year I didn't get my rejection from U of A until mid May. So potentially prepare for a longer wait, but it is very frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenkas Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I recently accepted my spot at U of A. I'm still in shock, I really didn't think I'd get in! I only applied to 2 schools (McGill being the other, I got rejected there) so I thought I was really unlikely to get in and that I'd have to give it another go next year. If anyone is going to U of A and wants to chat before we start feel free to PM me! Best of luck to everyone still on waitlists, I hope I'll get to see some of you around at U of A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya at this point I don't think I have a chance of getting in, but I don't get why they don't send the refusal letters and let us get this out of the way. It's definitely nerve wrecking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haelkaly Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Longtime lurker of this thread - I was waitlisted at U of A, and found out on the 18th that I was accepted! Does anyone from Victoria, going to U of A this fall, want to meet up before hand? Also, has a facebook group been created? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you went on ORPAS, made it a firm accept, pressed review and submit, you'll be fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLPlease? Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 11 hours ago, Waiting_for_something said: Hi everyone just got refusal for U of A wish I knew the reason for being denied \ Email the school and ask for recommendations on improving your application. It shows that you're determined to pursue the program and it will give you valuable information on any shortcomings they see in your application (however small). Hopefully your name will stick out next round as someone who made that extra effort. After being rejected by UofA last year, I emailed to ask what I should do to improve my application. I did exactly what they suggested, and I was fortunate enough to get in this year. Don't give up!

DLB Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 For anyone who didn't get in to school this year and might be looking to gain experience (but already has a background at least studying child development), take a look at this posting! I covered this maternity leave last year in central BC and learned SO much...and really think it is the reason I was accepted to SLP this year. And it was awesome to experience smaller northern communities, not to mention the people were so friendly and it is beautiful up there!!
