Hey ya'll, I know MMI's and acceptance letters will be coming in the following few months. Whether this is your first, second, or however many attempt, it never gets truly easier. I can relate as I had to go through the whole process three times! Please make sure to take care of your emotional and physical health through this. Hopefully this thread can be used to encourage those who are going through the tough times of limbo. Just wanted to share a short video on what I did during those three years before getting accepted. You are by no means obligated to watch! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need someone to chat to. https://youtu.be/aylyYXlWAQQ

Hey friends, I've been a lurker on this forum every since I was trying to get into physiotherapy school in 2016. I've completed my first year as an interim physio and made a YouTube video to share what my income was. This way it can give people a better idea of what they might expect after their first year of working. Hopefully it answers some questions you may have. Feel free to dm me on insta @samdchoi if you have any questions. Cheers! https://youtu.be/497xselI_g8

No worries. That is fantastic to hear. Thanks, I'm looking forward to it! I've edited my post to include waitlist number, so you can gauge where the waitlist is at right now.

Hey, I don't mind at all. I was #18 for UBC MOT, and they haven't gotten back yet. Based on the number of acceptance off the waitlist from previous years, I'm assuming that I did not get in. I would have loved to stay in Vancouver if I had gotten in, but I have decided to go to Queen's for PT. Hope that answers things. Cheers

Applied: PT - UBC, Queens OT - UBC, Queens, Western, UofTAccepted: PT - Queens OT - UofTWaitlisted: PT - Queens (#14) OT - UBC (#18), Western (43-75, middle third)Rejected: PT - UBC (pre-interview) OT - QueenscGPA: 3.38 sGPA: 3.73 UBC: 83.6% (OT), 88.7% (PT)Perceived strength of essays/interviews/references: Volunteer + Employment: Volunteered with children with autism. Worked as a summer support staff for children with various physical, cognitive, and emotional disorders. Volunteered alongside PT, OT, and rehab assistants when facilitating individualized exercise programs for seniors in a residential care facility. Undergraduate research assistant in Kin lab. Shadowed PT over the summer. Essay was relatively strong and interview was ok. References I felt were strong as they both knew me personally and tailored the reference around that. This was my third time applying for PT and first time applying for OT. Roller coaster of a ride, but definitely worth.
