CalgaryOT Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Hi Calgary OT! I am definitely looking forward to moving to Alberta this fall for OT. I was wondering what the difference is between the two campuses? Are there different advantages to attending one campus over the other? Or maybe different opportunities? I'm moving from OOP and I can't find information on the Calgary campus besides there being 20 people who get chosen to move to Calgary. The Calgary cohort does not really have a true 'campus'... This year we were in an office building downtown but next year the program is moving and we will be in the U of C downtown building (UofA Calgary PT's are there too). There is a video about the calgary cohort on UofA website: http://rehabilitation.ualberta.ca/departments/occupational-therapy/about-the-department/calgary-campus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowhead Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Hi CalgaryOT, Could youexpand on some of the pros and cons of studying in Calgary? What would make one want to study in Calgary versus Edmonton aside from the obvious i.e. the city, its proximity to the mountains and smaller class size? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am from Vancouver. Any other applicants from BC? I'm from BC! Best of luck for the waitlist. I know it's not a great feeling since I was put on the waitlist for UBC. I got accepted into U of A though and have not received my official acceptance letter. When I get it I'll let you guys know the date we have to accept by. Best of luck and don't lose hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am from Vancouver. Any other applicants from BC? Would you mind letting us know your GPA? I applied to U of A as well but I haven't heard anything as of yet. I'm worried because I had to withdraw from two classes in my third year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTmelle Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Start checking your mailboxes! I live in BC and I just got my official letter of acceptance via snail mail today. Deadline to accept is May 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hey_you Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Would you mind letting us know your GPA? I applied to U of A as well but I haven't heard anything as of yet. I'm worried because I had to withdraw from two classes in my third year. I calculated my GPA as 81%, but I could be wrong. I graduated from UVic and they use a 9.0 scale, so the whole conversation is not in my favour. I was told that an email was sent to all the wait listed applicants on Monday, April 27th. You can always contact them and ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abc123zxc Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Got my letter in the mail today too!! I'm from Northern BC, so what that basically means is that everyone else in BC should also be getting one today:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTbooks Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Congratulations to everyone who has been accepted! Best of luck for the people who are still waiting! I'm from the UofA and I am selling my OT books (1st and 2nd year). If anyone is interested, please email me at jc.deals@yahoo.ca. All in good quality and lower prices. Thank you!

katsup Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 For anyone that is accepting and mailed a cheque to UofA.. have you heard anything back yet or at least seen that your cheque has been deposited? I sent it by regular post and am starting to worry since there still has not been any indication that my cheque has been deposited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I haven't heard anything either, and I mailed my cheque over 2 weeks ago! I think maybe they are waiting until after the due date to deposit all of the cheques.

B.OT Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Does anyone know when the next round of offers will be sent out from the U of A? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamlo Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 I'm a bit confused. According to their website and application email they sent out, they would be making different rounds of offers at the end of each month, starting in April. A wait list is then created after all offers are made (usually by the end of June). But some of us were placed on the wait list by the end of April already, so does that mean they already made all the offers or are we like on a wait list for the next round of offers??

miml6 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 I just called them and the program assistant said that the deadline to accept first-round offers is today, and they haven't started looking through them yet. She said that hopefully they'll get some more offers out next week. Also, last year's waitlist was 50 spots only.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know how it feels - I was rejected from all schools as well in Ontario with ORPAS sGPA being 3.94 really wondering what part of my application did they dislike so much but keep your head up!
