That's very interesting, that means about 80 people were on the mcmaster info session. But doesn't the mcmaster program only have 65 available spaces for PT? I'm guessing staff take up a decent portion of the 80 people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptmandem Posted June 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 does anyone know what happens if we provisionally accept an offer and end up getting off the waitlist? Will they automatically dismiss us from the school we initially got accepted to or will they allow us some time to choose between the two?

OccupationalTherpay2020 Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 I just declined my offer to Queen’s OT so there should be some movement for those of you on the waitlist. I’ll be attending Dal for OT and I was wondering if anyone has heard any info from them since being accepted? Strawbaby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTisforMe Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 I’ve been waitlisted at Queens OT program. I’m just wondering how the waitlist works? As people decline their offers and the waitlist moves, do the people next in line immediately receive notice of this from ORPAS? Or will everyone on the waitlist be on hold until it’s all released all at once? Just super confused about this. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far no one that I’ve seen here on an Ontario school waitlist has received an offer yet, despite other people declining Queens. So I assume they’ll be releasing some waitlist acceptances after the first round offer expiry date (June 12). However I’m unsure about whether any waitlist acceptances after the first batch goes out will continue to come out in weekly batches, or if they’ll be immediate once someone ahead on the waitlist declines the offer. We’ll have to wait & see! Good luck! OT-InTheMaking-2020 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTPLEASE! Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 Hi! Applying in the fall - does anyone have tips on how to ask a prof for academic reference? Like when & how to ask? (I'm also scared about my academic references because I haven't had the chance to really build a great relationship with any of my profs ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait list positions are released in blocks, only after the initial offers expire will the first round of waitlist spots be released if someone gets off the waitlist they will have X amount of days to accept or decline and so forth ie if someone declined a spot 5 days ago nobody will have received any notification to get off a waitlist until after June 12th.

Like when & how to ask? (I'm also scared about my academic references because I haven't had the chance to really build a great relationship with any of my profs ) Hi! Honestly I would just make sure you go about it genuinely & professionally. My academic reference was a prof that I spent this last year doing research labs with, & she knew of my intent to apply to OT. I asked her in person around early November (been working with her since that September), but a professional email would suffice. Professors are most often happy to write you a reference, provided that they know you on an academic level. If you feel that you don’t have enough of a relationship with your professor, try reaching out to them this summer or fall semester. One of my classmates didn’t know her reference prof very well at first, so she made appointments to meet up with her to check over assignments, talk about the class, & discuss the professor’s & her own education & experience. If they know your commitment level to PT, your work ethic, & academic ability, then they’ll likely agree to be a reference. Good luck! PTPLEASE! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah31 Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 To everyone that accepted their U of T OT offers: Does your ACORN say something like "MSc Occupat'l Therapy - 2 yr (School of Graduate Studies) Awaiting Confirmation" What does awaiting confirmation mean? Is there something else that I need to do on ACORN other than paying the deposit? I accepted on ORPAS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
