Just thought I'd post to give people on waitlists some hope! I'll be declining all my offers because I got into another program I wanted
Applied OT: U of T, Western, Queens, McMasterAccepted: U of T (Mississauga campus), Queens, McMaster (will be declining all)Waitlisted: WesternRejected: N/AGPA: cGPA 3.88, sGPA 3.98
CASPer: 3rd quartilePerceived strength of essays/interviews/references: I think fairly strong essays - I mainly just wrote about what I'm passionate about and my personal experiences. I didn't really have any experience shadowing an OT or anything like that but I had some hospital volunteering hours and volunteering at a therapeutic riding centre. I felt like my McMaster interview went really well and that I connected with all the interviewers!! I know my references were really good because they helped me get into other programs too
Congrats to everyone who got in!! Best of luck to those on the waitlist!! To those who were rejected - your time is coming soon!!
