OT2014hopeful Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 So for anyone wondering about UBC OT, apparently no one accepted into the program has given up their seat. There was wait list movement of one person below me on the list who accepted elsewhere...but i'm not sure where on the list they were. So, I moved up one spot, but it's not looking too hopeful for us on the wait list considering no one actually in the program gave up their spot. Since it's past the deadline for them to accept, it means everyone firmly accepted their offer, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the update though, not knowing where the list was at was driving me bonkers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the update though, not knowing where the list was at was driving me bonkers. I know! I was quite upset when I got the e-mail. I'm really grateful they let me know, though. At least now we can make Fall plans, and hopefully next year there won't be a record number of applicants like there were this year...

Lalalala1111 Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Has anyone received confirmation that their provisional acceptances has become firm Today? ORPAS hasn't been updated and neither has the western student centre. It's supposed to happen automatically right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrouwers Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 I know! I was quite upset when I got the e-mail. I'm really grateful they let me know, though.

Even though people may have accepted their offers we have no idea who will actually follow through and who will drop(even after accepting). I was much higher on the wait list last time and I moved 10 spots. From what I have hear a lot the movement happens in June so their is still time. Good luck!

I was much higher on the wait list last time and I moved 10 spots. From what I have hear a lot the movement happens in June so their is still time. Good luck! This is true, you're right. I am going to keep my spot on the list but I feel like while there may still be some movement, it's unlikely that 10 people will drop out of the program after already accepting... Thank you for the words of encouragement, though So kind of you. Good luck to you! And I hope the person on the wait list that dropped was also below you, although you probably still have a pretty good chance of making it in. Can I ask if you know when exactly the movement occurred last year? When did you find out you had moved 10 spots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrouwers Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 I can't recall exactly,but most of the movement was between the middle of May and the end of June. After that it slowed down and for me there was little movement in July and August. I ended up being close but not getting an offer. I may get in this time,but if I don't I will keep applying until they give me a seat! Last year I started at 14 and this year I started at 6. If I get rejected again and have to reapply and interview perhaps next year I will make #1 to 3 on the wait list or even get an offer right away! Haha I refuse to give up! At this rate I will still become an OT before age 50:p Boa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you'll get in your motivation and personality seem perfect for the OT world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dabby Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 FYI, I am currently enrolled at U of T for OT going into my second year, and I get the sense that they have over-admitted for next year... I'm guessing even if people give up their acceptance the waitlist likely won't move too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprootloop Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 If anyone going to Mac is looking for a place to stay, me and another grad student are looking for a third female roommate! We're currently considering a 3 bedroom condo, a 9 minute bus ride from campus. PM me if interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OT16 Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Congratulations on your U of T OT offer! That's wonderful! I get the sense that PT was your preference though. Will you be accepting for OT? Sorry for the delay, I was accepted at western for OT and accepted. I declined UofT and not holding my breath for UofT pt wait list #44 and I haven't bothered calling AspiringPhysio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfang55 Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Just received the call and accepted the offer to Western for OT. I was on the waitlist upper tier. Good luck to the rest! Have hope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
