My overall GPA was around a 3.8, but my last 60 credits brought me to a 3.92 (on the U of A scale -- for ORPAS, it was a 3.89). I hope that helps!

I don't think they explicitly state an average GPA on their website or anywhere, but by the looks of past forums I think the average for U of T is around a 3.8-3.85. I know people who have gotten in there and other places with GPAs lower than this, but it just depends on your SLP volunteer experience as well!

SLPhopeful123 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Hi everyone, I was accepted to UofA in February but my application portal still says under review. Is anyone else still waiting for there official acceptance letter? I am starting to worry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycoleinguist Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) In the waiting list letter that Vicki emailed me, she said that after they decide they forward it straight to FGSR (Grad Studies admin) for processing. It takes time for the FGSR admin to update it. As well, many of the people who did get accepted will have the chance to respond to their offers from April 9 to 27, as stated in the email. I would not be worried too much if Vicki had emailed you. if it does, feel free to ask Vicki or the admin. I’m sure they will be of help to you!

If you haven't already, it doesn't hurt to call. I haven't had this experience with UofA specifically, but I called McGill re: waitlisting and the admissions officer was able to walk me through the waitlist process. Someone at UofA might be able to help you find out whether they have yet to contact some applicants. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year I had the same problem, I never got a notice or anything and it was June and I said to someone that I hadn't heard anything. They told me to go check on the portal and then they posted my rejection letter. It was dated April 14th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slphopeful101 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I was offered admission from Vicki to U of A on Thursday, and received my Admission Letter on the portal today, so it was way faster than I was anticipating, which was great! For anyone else who has received their Admission Letters, are any of your acceptances conditional based on submitting transcripts? I am currently in an online course through Athabasca University, since I needed a second Stats course to apply to McGill, but since I was accepted to U of A, I was planning to withdraw from the course. My Admission Letter says that my acceptance is conditional on submitting transcripts for coursework from Athabasca though, and I want to make sure that just means they need the transcripts, regardless of whether the course is completed or withdrawn from. Anyone have any experience with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately first year slacking caused me to not be the best student. All of my other prereqs are A/A+. I have heard that UofT is an auto rejection if you have a B and was wondering if UofA was the same. I had a B in my stats course pre-req! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
