How did you prep for it and was it difficult? Hey! I took the CASPer last year and I got into Western for OT (only one that asks for it for OT) so I assume I did okay. The practice questions they have on their website are probably the best ones for practice, but you can find others else where too. I would practice typing quick responses because the questions go pretty quick. Other than practicing timing though, I think they're just looking for you to consider both sides of each situation, and comment on that. That's my perception at least. Hopefully that helps a little Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PT PT PT 21 Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 Does anyone know if a "W' on your transcript affects your application?

I applied last year with a W in the last 20 courses when I applied, and a total of 5 Ws throughout my undergrad (big yikes). It didn't seem to have impacted my applications for Ontario schools and UofA! PTPTPT 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FutureOT2 0 Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 Hello, I was wondering if anyone re-submitted the same personal submission that they've used in previous application cycles and got accepted. I was waitlisted at Queen's University during the 2020 application cycle and I believe my response to their personal submission questions were strong, because I had them reviewed by current OT students and registered OTs - however, my references and experiences were weak during the 2020 application cycle. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

These are usually firm requirements set out by the program similar to GPA cutoffs. Only bet is to retake a statistics class before admission Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PT PT PT 21 Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 I've head that some med schools use Turn-it-in. Is that the same case for PT? If you submit similarly written statements from your last year's application they could see it as "self-plaigerism"? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pompom8 2 Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 Hi! Is anyone here reapplying to UBC physio? I'm at the Additional Questions page and theres a part where it asks if you've applied in the past. When I choose the "yes" option, it prompts you to read the next question. There is no next question, other than the statements at the end that you have to accept whether you say yes OR no. Not sure if I'm missing something here, I've tried to load up my application in both safari AND chrome and no difference. I figure another reapplicant probably would have reached out to them regarding this already, and if it actually was a big deal they would have fixed that, but don't really want to assume so. Thanks in advance!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OT2021at 1 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Hi all! For Western OT, it states on their admission page that they rank student applicants based on their sub-GPA and Casper test score. Does anyone know or have an idea on how they weigh sub-GPA and Casper? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
