Mikk Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 Accepted to U of T, Western, McMaster, and Queens for OT, and just accepted at western so that should free up some wait-listed spots :). If anyone makes a Facebook group or chat for accepted OT students at Western let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTOT1209 Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 Does anybody know how many spots on the Mac PT waitlist were let in to the program last year or the year before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OThopeful97 Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 Does anyone know how many spots the Western OT waitlist usually moves? I'm in the upper-third of the waitlist! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've heard, you have a great chance of getting in as long as you make it onto their waitlist. Mac PT waitlist moves down quite a bit due to lack of admission requirements (references, pre-reqs, etc.). A lot of students apply to multiple grad programs incl. Mac PT. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol It seems crazy that it would move 90 spots considering they only take 65 students! I hope for all of us on the wait list that this is true PTPTPT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know this? I recently graduated from PT school and I have friends from Mac PT class of 2016-2019. Their waitlist used to be around 70 but they increased it because of the huge turnover rate PTPTPT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like a lot of people are going to end up dropping Mac PT because the PBL and small group learning outline might end up being extremely frustrating with Online learning / COVID etc, and if people have offers to other programs it would be a lot easier to just go elsewhere. It will be interesting to see how drastic of changes Mac makes to the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny I actually think the opposite - PBL and small groups has the best chance of being in person the soonest and could be easier to connect virtually with small groups as oppose to a one way lecture prompting no discussion! Mac is also my top choice though so maybe I’m just biased haha Soccerstar8, nextOT and PTPTPT 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also looking at it from Mac's POV in which they might have to change the way things are done a bit more drastically than other programs that don't do PBL/SLG, and then it could make a bit more confusing of environment overall for students and staff.
