XKIN2019 Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 Did anyone els get an email from U of ottawa about the fall term? It was a general email which was just saying that classes will resume in the fall and that they will be releasing their plan incase we are still physical distancing. When do you think we will know if classes are going to be online? PTOTHOPEFUL, AT2PT and PT - U of O 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we know that the U of A can move on to the next step of their deliberation process, and hopefully hear some decisions soon! rehabhopeful, PTwishing20 and accountdeleted 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJHS Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 Update** - i accepted a waitlist offer from UofT. both UofT and Western contacted me the day after first round offers expired. I chose to go to UofT for the placement opportunities and just the overall reputation of the school. Applied + (PT or OT?): PT for all - Uoft, McMaster, Western, Queens, McGillAccepted: Western & UofT Waitlisted: Western (Upper Third), UofTRejected: McGill (reason being GPA and Casper score), MacGPA:c-gpa 3.74 (Orpas) and s-gpa 3.78 (Orpas)Perceived strength of essays/interviews/references: My GPA is okay but I think my experience is where my strengths are. I took at PTA/OTA diploma program after high school before doing KInesiology and have worked as an assistant for about 6 years. So I have probably accumulated over 3000 hours in experience in private clinics. Right now I work as an R Kin primarily working with patients with workplace injuries and have been able to gain a lot of treatment plan and assessment experience that I didnt get as a PTA. I've volunteered about 150 hours at a Neuro Rehab clinic in Toronto, working with patients after SCI, TBI, MS, CVA. I also currently volunteer at a Cancer support center, helping out with their cancer exercise program, I was only able to volunteer there a few times before the program was suspended to protect the members from COVID. I think my essays were good and I think they really play up my experience and knowledge of the profession. I used the Kin program head at my school as my reference and a physio that I've worked with for a number of years. I was invited to write the CAP for Uoft and the Kira talent interview for Mac. I wasn't confident in my Mac interview and felt like I didn't provide the greatest answers. I just wrote CAP this past weekend and I also don't know how I felt about it afterwards.

OT1996 Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 I am really nervous it seems like people are hearing back from McGill PT already... Has anyone heard from McGill OT yet? I guess they have different dates for when they send out PT vs OT offers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beepboopPT Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 I found out last week I was waitlisted for UBC PT. Does anyone know how good my chances are for getting taken off the waitlist? Or when is like the most likely time I could potentially hear back from them, if I do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
