Hope this helps anyone else in the same position as I was! What email did you use, this one: (slp.admissions@utoronto.ca)? I applied in December 2017 so I am a bit confused on why I haven't received any updated from UofT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All they required was my OUAC reference number, name, and birthday and they were able to tell me that they have received my application and should be receiving email confirmation this week.

SLPletsgo Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Thank you for making this thread!, You guys have amazing stats! goodluck everyone! My sub-GPA on ORPAS is not that high, it's at a 3.80, hopefully that's good enough in addition to my clinical and research experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received an email from Sarah (the admission coordinator) and she told me they received my application but there is no portal (if I needed I had any more questions, I should contact OPRAS directly). So I am a bit confused in terms what specific portal is their for UofT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still haven't received the email that they said I would but I will let you know if I do and if there is any sort of student ID or portal provided. I feel much better just knowing they received my application though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Lovetolearn, I can't speak for the rest of my class but my sGPA was around 3.75. I know we had people come into the program straight out of their undergrad, so there were probably people with pre-reqs that were still in progress. Good luck!

Good luck! that is great to hear thanks for sharing:) I have been told not having completed all the pre-reqs prior to the application deadline is a big disadvantage on my application but I am hoping that it wont make or break whether I get an offer!

I graduated from U of A (in my first year of working) and I know that they unfortunately do prefer your pre-reqs to be finished before the application deadline. They won't disqualify you are anything for having a pre-req in progress, but if comparing you directly to an applicant with similar stats, the applicant with all their pre-reqs finished will be preferred I remember feeling really angry when I found this out because it's not explicitly stated on their website. Didn't matter for me, as I just happened to finish my pre-reqs before the application, but that's not really fair to leave out IMO. 112233 and SLPlease? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cait2018 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Hi everyone! It's my first time posting on here but I have been reading and following for quite some time now. I thought I would just let everyone know that I received an offer of admission to the University of Alberta from Vicki Trombley. She mentioned that the official letter will be sent through the Applicant Portal for me to accept or decline from there. Has anyone else received this same message? I am soo excited and am looking forward to seeing if I get accepted at the other schools I applied to. Best of luck everyone SLPlease? and Kellua 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kellua Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Hi guys, I also got an offer of admission from U of A today. For some reason, it says I am not authorized to log into the Applicant Portal. Does anyone else have this issue? I was shaking because it came so early and I didn't think I would get in this year. Good luck to everyone!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cait2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 @Kellua Congrats! Perhaps we will be in the same cohort I'm so surprised it came so early as well; to be honest, I was a bit confused! That's odd that you would receive that message. Is this the applicant portal you are referring to? https://graduate-studies-apply.ualberta.ca/urd/sits.urd/run/siw_lgn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kellua Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 @caitlouie @kshelton Congrats!!! I finally got into the Applicant Portal by using my email address instead of my CCID, thank you! I was very confused and called Vicki to confirm. U of A is my first choice so I will most likely be accepting but I'm also waiting to hear back from Dalhousie. It would be awesome if we all ended up in the same cohort! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kshelton Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I know that this is like the opposite of a problem, but I'm actually finding it quite isolating to be accepted to a school so early. Normally I would share this news on Facebook and tell more of my Ling friends, but I know that like 97% of people are still waiting and I don't want to stress them out. cait2018, SLPlease? and Kellua 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kshelton Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 For those people panicking about not hearing from the U of A: 1. Make sure you're checking your ualberta email address if they gave you one (I don't know if they did since I did undergrad there so I had one already). 2. One of my friends who is in second year SLP at the U of A said that the majority of his cohort received acceptance in late March. So you still have an entire month!
