Physioletsgo Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 Anyone else also on the out-of-province waitlist for UofA PT? I'm hoping there's a lot of movement. Apparently the OOP waitlist is much shorter than the IP list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopeful2022 Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 Hey everyone! I've seen the mention of the website whatsmygpa.ca on here for calculations. I was wondering how accurate it is? Has anyone used it before and compared it to their applications calculations? Just wondering and looking for some insight! Ot2022 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I havent started yet lol From what Amy told me via email upon accepting my offer — If you applied for the Calgary campus as your first choice over Edmonton when you applied to the program but were offered a seat in Edmonton then you will be automatically waitlisted for Calgary campus until the first day of classes (August 3rd). If a spot becomes available and you are the next on the list then you will be notified and asked if you would like to be switched to that campus. Once classes have started you CANNOT be moved from one campus to another! Hopefully this helps - if you want to see the email I received from her let me know I will find it and upload a screenshot EPPTOT and PTCS 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you delayed accepting your offer until the May 21st deadline, I wouldn't expect to see it until the second week of June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smile1234 Posted May 25, 2021 Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 Hi all, For those who have accepted an offer, just wanted to make sure if we just had to firmly accept on ORPAS and submit a conferred transcript? And received a confirmation email about which school you have firmly accepted? That's it on our end, correct? Thank you in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTstudent15 Posted May 25, 2021 Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 On 5/20/2021 at 6:29 PM, PTforME13 said: A family friend of mine who graduated from U of T PT this year was actually in a similar situation. He went to UBC for his undergrad so he knows some people who did PT at UBC, and he was able to ask them about how they liked their program. He told me that he decided to pick U of T over UBC for a couple reasons. U of T has a more hands-on style of learning where you get to do a lot of practical training, and they also have the research portion which was really interesting. There are many great opportunities for placements since it's in the city so the best facilities and hospitals are there. In the future, there would be a lot of connections for future jobs. He also told me how their class was super close-knit and everyone was very friendly. Also, U of T is known for being the top university in Canada so it does carry lots of prestige! Overall, my friend really liked the U of T PT program, and he definitely has no regrets. I'm planning to go to U of T PT this fall. I hope to see you there! I'm a current UBC student and would like to add that UBC is a great school and prepares you well for the CAPR upon graduation. The Campus is great and the staff teaching here is awesome. I have heard from friends who have went through PT school here and elsewhere that UBC seems to be focused more on public health care. It's PT school, I think whichever one you pick will be hands on. That being said under different circumstances, and if I could go back and do it again I would choose UofT for the reasons you have listed ptrg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a few people (including me) who were put on the wait list. I'm sure there have been a few OOP acceptances sent, as well, but I don't think they've posted here.
