I’m getting increasingly anxious as the days go by! They were on the website when I applied (a few years ago) and this year they talked at school council about doubling them, not sure if they're listed on the website.

Saskhopeful Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 Yesterday I received an email that I have been placed on the sask wait list at UofA. I was just wondering what some of the other Sask cohort applicants received in their email, or if anyone knows how much movement the sask wait list has had in previous years?

Walrus08 Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 21 hours ago, Ken10 said: Hi guys, does anyone know if accepting Alberta's offer for OT affect decisions for schools I applied for in ORPAS (Ontario schools?) I didn't expect the deadline to accept Alberta's offer to be so soon, but I wanna save a spot just in case I don't get into any other programs. Hi! I sent a message to ORPAS through SAM about accepting an alternate graduate program (in Ontario) and they sent me this! Hello - Graduate applications and ORPAS applications are separate from each other. Just in general, each offer comes with a specific expiry date and you must accept an offer by this date. Once you successfully accepted an offer through your OUAC Graduate application you would no longer be able to cancel that offer through your Graduate application, you would need to communicate with the university to see if you can be released from the acceptance. Therefore, please read your offer details carefully or inquire with the university. OT and PT programs are sent on May 29. Pls see our important dates www.ouac.on.ca/guide/orpas-dates. - Thanks - Katja\ORPAS I also had some friends in SLP who accepted Alberta schools before their ORPAS acceptance day and it didn't affect anything! I will most likely be accepting Alberta as well while I wait for ORPAS, but I'm obviously still nervous it might mess something up as no one has given me a straight answer about out of province schools. If you want complete peace of mind, I'd message ORPAS through the SAM messenger about out of province schools. I hope this helped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I accepted my UoA offer while still preferring and waiting on an Ontario school, if that offers any peace of mind! You would just lose the deposit if you accepted an Ontario offer afterwards, which is obviously worth the investment regardless, so accept it!!

FuturePT2020 Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 I emailed the SPOT at McGill inquiring about when we should hear back from admissions (PT specifically) and they said "The admissions timeline is still in effect, you should hear back from us in May/June" Could be a while yet before we hear back from McGill!

My apologies yes that is PT, I read that wrong. From friends previously in the program the numbers are very similar for allocation of the 66 for OT though.

I definitely thought it was easier than expected. Considering the time limit, I felt like the CAP gave me ample time to come up with a well thought, constructed response.
