What kind of master program is good for applying for OT? What about some online programs? Thanks I believe most application pages (at least Western, Queen's and Dal) specify that they only consider undergraduate GPA. Taking a Masters program would be beneficial for experience and perhaps a stronger academic reference, but your GPA will still come from your undergraduate courses in most cases! Edit: This is the case for PT admissions as the schools I mentioned here, but it turns out this may differ for OT programs (Western looks at graduate courses for OT sGPA, but not for PT sGPA for example) rrxxccooll 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking a Masters program would be beneficial for experience and perhaps a stronger academic reference, but your GPA will still come from your undergraduate courses in most cases! I looked at this pretty closely when looking to apply, as I have very different GPAs based on whether graduate marks are included in the s-GPA or not. At least for Ontario, UoT and McMaster are the only PT programs that utilize graduate marks. Though if you’re looking to do a masters, still, the insight you gain from research experience is still extremely useful for medical professionals! rrxxccooll 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they're doing their best in a difficult situation but it does seem like it maybe speaks to a lack of organization on behalf of the program/school, which I find slightly concerning.

XKIN2019 Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 Uottawa applicants did you people get a PT email about needing to take a french course too? I mean they used the same test for both applications so it makes sense but is everyone getting this email? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ot2020!! Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 I've been lurking past forums and noticed that UofT will change the registration status on ACORN early in May if you've been accepted to OT/PT. Has anyone's registration status changed yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
