For sure! UofT mentioned this in their recording for their most recent information session, from last fall linked here at about 1:15:50. It's also mentioned on their OT website, under FAQs linked here. I'm not sure McMaster's stance on the matter, would be best to reach out to them! Taking first and second year courses as a prerequisite seems entirely reasonable as well, I personally don't think you will have issues with that so long as you have mostly upper year credits on your ORPAS transcript, but if you are concerned, best to reach out to your schools of interest!
Bonjour! Est-ce que quelqu’un en pharmacie à ULaval pourrait me parler du barême de notation ainsi que de leur expérience à travers leurs cours? J’ai quelques questions, j'ai contacté l’école mais ils ne m’ont pas vraiment aidé.
Bonjour à tous et à toutes ! Félicitations aux admis et bonne chance à ceux en LA! Nous avons créé un groupe FB/messenger à cet effet, juste svp envoyez à un des admin votre lettre d'admission afin qu'on puisse vous accepter dans le groupe Voici le lien https://www.facebook.com/share/1qiWfxhGhpj7E7or/?mibextid=K35XfP
Hey where did you get this information about upgrading GPA? I’ve looked on ORPAS and the universities websites (specifically McMaster and UofT) and found nothing to support this. I’m currently trying to upgrade my GPA and taking first and second year courses mainly because I haven’t taken them, have an interest in them and also need as a prerequisite for a third year course that I really want to take in the fall. I don’t want these courses to cost me my application next year…
No one cares much about written evals in my specialty. If staff didn't like you they would put "needs to read more" as the whole eval. If they really didn't like you (or they're just overly blunt/grumpy) they could write something overtly negative
If it's something positive it means you're doing something right. My average written eval would read something like "Performs at/above his level. Pleasure to have, very professional. Works well with X cases. Keep on reading". In my 5 years, there were only a few written evals that had much more substance than that.
It sounds like you're doing fine. If you need actual feedback, it's better to talk 1-on-1 with staff.
Just got off the UBC PT waitlist around 2:30pm today!!!! I wanted the Victoria cohort but was admitted to the Vancouver one. Is there a group chat I can join? I’ll be looking for housing!
Hi everyone! I just got off the Mac PT waitlist this morning. I will be rejecting mac and western and accepting ubc so hopefully there's movement for everyone waiting, best of luck!!
