Just curious. I could be wrong, but for UBC PT my guess is that you just need to keep your senior level courses (300 and 400 level - including the semester you're finishing) within the overall average B+ range. Then of course the conditional acceptance is just ensuring you pass your current courses, still are within that average range and actually graduate. This is only my guess, so don't quote me on it! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

101PT Posted April 16, 2022 Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 Definitely panicked at the start. Some of the topics on the CAP I was surprised by--anyone else feel that way? Also, like @ptpt22 said, did not expect 400 people to be writing since their website says 300-350 max haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DfuturePT Posted April 16, 2022 Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 I felt the questions were fair as well. At first I was on a roll but then started panicking towards the end. I wish we knew what they were looking for, it seems like it's just based on vibes lol. @101PT they updated the FAQ and it now says they invite 400-450 people to write it lol BKin.d 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKin.d Posted April 16, 2022 Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 Felt good about the CAP but was going right to the end. Would have liked to have the time to review my answers and add a few things. Felt like the questions were all pretty straightforward and relevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTfolife Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 definitely surprised by the topics they covered. Personally i found this harder than Mac online interview. Oh well, I guess we'll all finger crossed till May 13th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTapplicant2000 Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Curious to know if anyone knows when the Dal PT acceptances will be out?

wrappingpaperOT Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 UofA website says the first round of acceptances for OT will be out mid-May, what do you think the chances are that we find out sooner? I know last year they heard April 30, but i’m not sure if the website said something different last year. Also, I’m currently taking my stats and anatomy prerequisites, if I get into UofA with a conditional acceptance, what do you think the grades i’ll need to get are to keep the acceptance? Their website states that the lowest cut off is 3.4, do you think i’ll be ok with a B+ in each class? My exams for both are this week and although i’m sitting at an A+ right now, the exams are weighted heavily (50% for stats and 30% for anat) and i’m just getting worried.

It's on the application review page on their website for OT. In 2020 they sent it out April 23rd or so I believe, last year they sent it out on the 29th. So it could be anywhere from this week to mid May I would assume. I don't think it'll get much more clear! Also for the conditional acceptance I would assume so long as it doesn't vary a ton from your current GPA you're good. B+ should be fine but considering where you're sitting I'm sure you'll do better. I found the final for anatomy very fair. I think I got an 89 on it! Good luck!

I haven't really heard of what people's experiences have been applying there out of province! I had ~3.8cGPA, around 140 hours of volunteer experience pre-pandemic in a school for kids with severe disabilities, my letters of reference all came from motor control/learning focused profs which is what i tailored my personal statement too as well as having lab experience in the area. I have no clue how i did on the casper last year but this year i scored 4th quartile. I had a classmate also apply as OOP and she also got waitlisted and had similar stats to mine but neither of us moved off the waitlist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
