I know! I feel like it's partially a lottery system lol. No I didn't get Mac A little heartbroken since my life is in Hamilton/Stoney Creek but I guess the GO train isn't that bad! Have you decided where you are going to go?

I'm accepted for PT (didn't apply for OT) - but if you end up in Toronto I'm sure we will run into each other!

Hey Tr RMT, congrats on the acceptance Maybe I will see you around in the fall!

Applied: Western, Mac, UoT, Queens (all PT) Rejected: Queens, Mac Accepted: UoT Waitlisted: Western (lower third 61-92) 3.88 sub GPA

I got it too Even though I didn't want to go to Queens, I'm still disappointed. "Your application to the Master of Science Program in Physical Therapy at Queen’s University has received careful consideration; however, I regret to inform you that we are unable to offer you admission. The academic cut off for the cumulative grade point average (Cum-GPA) for all years of University study this year was 2.89 and the grade point average for the most recent ten full course credits of undergraduate University education (Sub-GPA) was 3.57. If either your Cum or Sub-GPA were below these values and/or you did not meet the prerequisite course requirements your admissions application would not have been further assessed by the committee. If you did meet the above criteria, the combined assessment of your academic and personal qualities was insufficient to secure an offer of admission or a position on the waitlist. Thank you for the effort you have made in applying to Queen’s University. In view of the large number of applicants to our program, committee members are not able to provide written appraisals of individual applications. We acknowledge the hard work and effort that you have put into your application. I hope that you will consider re-applying next year."

Any courses that you think you can do well in. I needed a bunch of 90s so I took the birdiest courses I could find OR any courses that were similar to a course that I did well in... Athabasca has some easy ones that require very little work...cultural studies, for example. Making a bibliography was worth 15% of my mark... no paper or anything, JUST a bibliography :s haha. Anyways, bird courses are ideal if you are working full-time (in my opinion). You can make a spreadsheet on excel with your sub-gpa and play around with the numbers to see what kind of grades (and how many) you need to make your GPA more competitive...that will give you an idea of how many courses you need to take. If you want to see how I did it for myself, I can figure out how to post my spreadsheet

It was nice meeting you too! Fingers crossed for Mac I hope the next couple of weeks fly by!

1 more month until we find out!!

I did this too! I enrolled in a non-degree term took 2 courses at my home university and also took 3 courses at Athabasca at the same time because the options for online courses at my uni were very limited. It's really not that bad though! I was able to increase my sub-GPA from 3.61 to 3.88 so it was 100% worth it.

Me too PThopeful - I feel so old!

Applied: Mac, UWO, UoT, Queens PT Accepted: Waitlisted: Rejected: GPA: sub-GPA 3.88; cum-GPA 3.05 Perceived strength of essays/interviews/references: I feel good about my personal submissions for Queens though I'm not too sure how they score them so I guess it could go either way. I'm fairly confident with my references. If I have a choice, I will go to Mac.

I just copied this thread from last year; it was cool to see the competition and have any questions answered: In preparation for the big day I'm starting this thread in hopes everyone will share their stats for future students (and for our curiosity as well!) You can either put everything in now except the results and edit later or just wait until May. Here's how it goes: Applied: Accepted: Waitlisted: Rejected: GPA: (cum and sub if you applied to any University using them both) Perceived strength of essays/interviews/references: Put a sentence here where you will choose to go or if you are unsure. Maybe some of us forum goers can help you decide!
