Rick84 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Applied: Mac, uOttawa, Queen's, McGill (all PT) Accepted: Waitlisted: Rejected: Mac sGPA: 3.69 cGPA: 3.75 Perceived strength of essays/interviews/references: Fairly confident with my Queen's and McGill submissions. Already had uOttawa interview, i am fully bilingual, and think the interview went really well, so I'm hoping even with my grades I will still be considered. Also have around 60 hours of volunteer work in a physiotherapy clinic. Did not get considered for an interview from Mac, apparently the cut-off was a 3.78 sGPA.

ITRoller Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 It did specify it in the email. It was hidden in one of the paragraphs. I got my invite for the MMI at MacMaster too. How did you find out what the cut off is? It did not specify in the e-mail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTapplic Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Do you know what last year's cutoff was? Last year's cut-off was 3.76 for MAC PT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTapplic Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Was this cumGPA or subGPA? This was sub-GPA, Mac gives interviews to the top 300 sub-GPA applicants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perseus Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Applied: UBC, McMaster, Ottawa, McGill all ot/pt Interviews:all, but declined every school except UBC (couldn't make Ottawa on short notice, I'm from BC so I will pass on the Mac interviews and McGill has not sent out PT yet) Accepted: UBC pt and Ot I have accepted the seat for PT so the Waitlist for OT should be getting shorter... good luck everyone!!

hopefulptstudent14 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I just received a MMI interview invitation for the Physiotherapy Program. I was originally rejected because I didn't make the cut-off of 3.78 but I am glad to finally get an opportunity to prove myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they say why they changed or switched the cut off? I also have a 3.76 subGPA and 3.61cumGPA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopefulptstudent14 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Thank you, and yes I received an interview invitation from Mcmaster. SubGPA-3.76; CGPA-3.41. The first email was a rejection email sent to me a couple of weeks ago. It contained several possible reasons for not getting in and I just assumed everything met expectations except my subGPA. Turns out that was the only problem and I guess I was fortunate enough to have others reject their invitations. If you haven't received an invitation did you double check that check list of possible reasons for not getting in? For some reason I got rejected at uoft even those my subGPA met the cut-off. Apparently they aren't allowed to comment on why I didn't get in (which sucks especially since on paper I met all expectations) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

healthcarehopeful Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 In anticipation of the offers coming out May 16th, I have a question: what time do they actually come out? Is it at midnight, or anytime during the day? Also, do offers roll out every day as people decline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTjt Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 In anticipation of the offers coming out May 16th, I have a question: what time do they actually come out? Is it at midnight, or anytime during the day? Also, do offers roll out every day as people decline? I know an OT who graduated from McMaster last year and she told me that her offers came in at around 12:30 to 1 am. I'll probably stay up late on the night of the 15th I'm not sure how it works when people decline their offers though. I'd like to know as well!

Last year Queens sent out the offers just before 10am, UofT sent it on the Thursday just before midnight and Western sent an email around midnight with a link to the Student Center which had an update on your application status.

When I applied to OT at McMaster and U of T two years ago, the emails for both were sent just after 12am (12:15ish). Had I known I probably would have stayed up Thursday night! FYI, I was waitlisted for McMaster and rejected from U of T. Not sure when they'll go out this year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
