vicky6872 Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 Just got my rejections for OT, congratulations to everyone that got in! I'm debating going back another term to bring up my gpa and was wondering to everyone that got accepted what were your gpa's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got waitlisted there. I really hope that the Ontarians who got into both the Ontario universities and U Alberta choose to go an Ontario university. Any of you planning to do so? I will be rescinding my U of Alberta acceptance and accept U of T Scottie Steinback and ot_lea2021 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PendingOTgal Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 Can we accept an offer and then decline to accept another after? As in, accept the offer to ensure our spot in the program at one school but then when we hear about the waitlisted, decline and accept the other offer.... hope this makes sense, sleepy brain.

But the waitlist email I got from U of T said they will act on the waiting list by mid-June, which passed the provisional to firm acceptance deadline (June 6 written on ORPAS), so I am kind of worried if that would work, not sure about other Ontario universities.

EkamhopefulOT Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 Hey guys I just wanted to come on here and say for the people who didn't get in this year, if OT or PT is your dream continue to chase it!! Its really not about if but when. I got rejections from all schools last year for OT and I went back for another year and I just got in! Don't lose hope and keep fighting for your dream.

OTapplicant98 Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 Hi all, I wanted to ask if anyone has any insights/opinions on the OT program at UofA vs UofT- pros/cons of fieldwork placement, area, professors, career outlook etc. I'm trying to make a decision but finding it difficult! Congrats to all and good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PendingOTgal Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 Got responses from both schools I applied for . Got into UofT and waitlisted at Mac. I figured I would be waitlisted for Mac because I totally blanked on one written question - at the top of the waitlist though, so I am hopeful!

Congrats to all and good luck I’m working on a research team right now with a post-doc fellow who went back for her OT degree. She’s about to graduate from UofA’s OT program and shared that their curriculum is not as up-to-date to Ontario programs. She said she wouldn’t recommend it (so I didn’t apply). Also, UofT will likely have richer placements as there are many Toronto hospitals and clinical settings to do placements in.

PT PT PT Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 I also want to echo what some people have said above. I applied FOUR TIMES and finally just got accepted. I've spent the last three years taking courses to upgrade my GPA and doing everything I could to make my application more competitive. Hopefully this gives some perspective to how difficult the application process can be. Stay passionate, stay resilient and never give up! I believe in you. smile1234, PTtbd, PT24 and 12 others 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
