OTapplicant19 Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 Hi everyone, I received an email today that I'm on the waitlist for UofA OT so just wanted to start a thread so we can see how the waitlist moves! Good luck to everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otpthopeful Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 Are you able to share your GPA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ac15 Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 I am waitlisted as well, hoping it moves quick! My Sub GPA was 3.75/4.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamz_883 Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 I’ve also been waitlisted to U of A OT. My sub-gpa was 3.62. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTapplicant19 Posted April 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 I know the email said they don't disclose wait list position, but I looked through the threads on here from last year and it sounds like people went ahead and emailed anyway and were told whether they were in the top half (1-49) or bottom half (50-100). Has anyone done this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice to know, but seems like many other students have applied to a bunch of schools, so maybe there will be a decent amount of movement this year!

I think the best way to ask is to simply reply to the email they sent about being on the waitlist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTAPPLICANT026 Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 I have also been wait-listed, but i'm in the lower half (50-100) unfortunately. I replied to the email they sent me and they got back to me within minutes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
