mlyPT Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Applied + (PT or OT?): Dal, Queen's, UoA (all PT)Accepted: Interview @ Dal, awaiting decisions from Queen's and UoAWaitlisted:Rejected:GPA: cGPA 3.4, sGPA 3.8 (those are off the top of my head, they're somewhere around those figures)Perceived strength of essays/interviews/references: I think I did fairly well with all of my personal statements, I am a re-applicant so I did some major tweaking to my submissions from last year and I'm pretty satisfied. I didn't get to see my references but I can only assume they were quite good, especially my non-academic reference. I have experience working with individuals of all ages, varying levels of ability via both volunteer and paid work experience at 3 different physiotherapy clinics. Also have experience as a research volunteer, coach, athletic trainer, and am currently working as a kinesiologist. Fingers crossed!! Good luck everyone:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eafb30 Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Applied + (PT or OT?): Dal (PT), OOP applicantAccepted: Dal (interview)Waitlisted:Rejected:GPA: cGPA 3.96, sGPA 3.96 Perceived Strengths: I have one thing to share for anyone who applies to Dal PT, Dal PT doesn't even open your reference letters, they decide who gets an interview based on GPA alone and then who gets in based on your interview score and GPA, the two reference letters are just ticks on a list because everyone is essentially going to have the same two letters talking about how fantastic and qualified they think you are. This is my third time applying and am now doing research waiting to get in, and I have seen the best candidates not get in just because their GPA was 0.1 points too low. Good luck to everyone applying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and we just have to keep applying because MUN's claims to open their own physiotherapy school make them sound like the boy who cried wolf. I left MUN in 2015, have there been any rumors among the HKR faculty about when it might open? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peppermintglow Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Applied: OT @ Dalhousie Accepted: Waitlisted:Rejected:GPA: (cum and sub if you applied to any University using them both) - 3.2 Cum in undergrad, sub 3.5, 3.9 in MA, B+ in prereqs (so far, still doing ANAT/PHYL)Perceived strength of essays/interviews/references: had two thesis supervisors write my letters, which I heard from a friend that they really value having folks who have another masters done. My thesis project is through the critical disability studies program at york and looking at mental health. No direct experience volunteering with folks, but lots of experience in disability theory and activism through other groups. Disabled myself. Edit: Oh, I'm out of province for nova scotia but a Newfoundland resident. my friend found out on April 1 in 2016. Waiting patiently... do you know if those who are still doing prereqs will find out now as well for Dal or they're in May? I've heard two different dates - End of march/early april AND sometime in May. Trying to figure out when I can expect it... I was in the building today and almost went to ask but was too afraid! :| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyness Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Thanks PTwannabe AlexFox I think those still taking prerequisites receive a conditional acceptance at the same time as others. At least that what it seems like from looking through past years on this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
