medschover30 Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 Just received an email from McMaster saying I'm waitlisted for an MMI invitation. Do they send rejections? Or does everyone that didn't get offered an interview get placed on the waitlist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed back asking if they could disclose what position (i.e. number) I was in for the waitlist, but unfortunately, they aren't able to give you that kind information. McMaster does send out rejections if you're an outlier from their GPA cutoff. So, I guess there is hope! Goodluck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basicity Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 @medschover30 no not everyone got waitlisted! people have been dropping out of the interviews so you'll probably start hearing back soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard from someone who applied last year that the invites for Dal interviews last year went out at the end of March - so hopefully we should hear soon! I'm also an Ontario student. Interviews would be mid to late April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellowhead Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 Hi guys, Does anyone know when McGill night be sending out offers to either their PT or OT programs? Their website suggests April/May and a previous poster had said March 17, but that date has now come and form. Any ideas? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was waitlisted originally, but received an invite today - sent to my spam folder even though other McMaster communications reached my regular inbox. They only give you ~24 hours to respond, so it would be super sad to miss out just because randomly went to a different folder than other McMaster OT emails! Goodluck Thanks for the heads up I'll keep an eye out! Congrats on your invite!! Really hoping I get one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bboyzen202 Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 question does uoft western or queens do interviews for OT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTMaT Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 Would be news to me if they did as there didn’t appear to be any mention of it anywhere when applying and considering each school I live in the UK atm so it was a factor when considering schools if I could make it for an interview.

No, neither of them have interviews. There is an academic requirement section on the websites that will give you more of an idea of what they look for and base their acceptances on. Western did add the Casper test this year though, which is supposed to look at some areas that would be scored in an interview. Both of those Universities will offer acceptances based on a combination of education, references, personal essays etc. and sounds like we will hear back late May-June.

They do not have interviews at those schools. I am a current OT student @ Queens. I applied for my first time last year to OT and received an offer from Queens, U of T, and McGill. If anyone has any other questions I'd be happy to try to offer any insights into the process! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
