OT17 Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Just got acceptance to the U of A OT program. Couldn't be more excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pt2015applicant23 Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 PT - Does anyone know how many OOP UofA is interviewing, and how many they typically accept? I know they say "minimum 15% OOP" of the 110 they accept, but I was wondering if they usually accept more then the 15% or not? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume that 15% of the 200 that they are interviewing are OOP. Still good odds though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLZPT2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 I would assume that 15% of the 200 that they are interviewing are OOP. Still good odds though! I hope so! It would make sense that the odds are the same for OOP and IP once you get an interview invite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThisIsMyPathOT Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Congratulations to those you got accepted to the U of A OT Pretty sad right now as I thought I was definitely competitive enough (3.81) and overall with experience, etc. plus being IP to get the first round admission... could you please tell me what your GPA's are? Do you think they will send more out today or this week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OT_hopeful2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 has anyone received a letter through mail from UofA for OT yet? I'm wondering how long they provide to give information on confirming our seats and the nature of our acceptance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ot2015na Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 for the people who received an interview invite for OT from mcgill, would you mind telling me what your overall application was like (gpa, cv, reference letters, etc)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brody Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 has anyone received a letter through mail from UofA for OT yet? I'm wondering how long they provide to give information on confirming our seats and the nature of our acceptance. In the email it said that we would be recieving the letters at the end of April so they should be arriving in the next few days. If you are still doing your degree or have not yet completed your degree you will be given a conditional acceptance and will have to submit your final transcript by June. If you are done your degree you will most likely receive an unconditional acceptance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalOT_hopeful Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Any movement from the dal OT waitlist? Also for people accepted from NS (in province applicants) do you mind posting your GPAs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abc123zxc Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Applied: UBC, UofA, Western, Toronto, McMaster, Queens (all OT) Accepted: UofA Rejected: Wait Listed: UBC GPA: 3.7 Strengths: Very strong essays/personal statements. I have extensive course work, volunteer work and research in Occupational Therapy, so I'm sure that was a large contributing factor. My references are also very strong: an OT and a professor that I did OT research, who also used to be an OT professor at Western. I will be accepting UofA, so the UBC waitlist will be getting shorter:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalOT_Applic Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Applied: Dalhousie (OT) (Nova Scotian Applicant) Accepted: Rejected: Wait Listed: Dalhousie (OT) GPA: 3.4 Strengths: Experience working as an PT assistant and OT assistance for the past 2 years. REALLY hope to get into OT this year, as I tried last year and was rejected due to marks being a little to low, so I went back and upgraded those courses to improve my GPA. Does anyone know if the wait list has started moving at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
