Also I am OOP, and I believe both western and queens give preference to ON residents! Hmm I am worried as well because im OOP and my cGPA is only a 3.44 (which I believe is above the cutoff but still nervewracking) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPA at McGill it calculated a bit differently than the Ontario schools. I am not 100% certain of my cGPA, but I had a 3.71 cGPA for my 1st undergrad and 3.99 for my 2nd undergrad. I'm not sure if they averaged them both out or smt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a perfect gpa and decent experience but horrible casper results... didn't really type that fast Who knows how important they are! But even if your Casper results aren't the best, there still might be hope. I scored in the 2nd quartile and still got into McGill (who I believe emphasize Casper a lot). BTW, McMaster doesn't use Casper for its PT program and I know UofT only uses as prescreening (as long as your in the 16th percentile and above... you good). mrk88 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mind me asking what date you took the Casper test? Bc I think the schools get our scores relative to everyone whereas we just know relative to the people from the same day as us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonnagetOT Posted May 5, 2022 Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 Does anyone know if we would be able to withdraw our acceptance at UofA after we send the acceptance deposit?

Boukenbc Posted May 5, 2022 Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 Was wondering if anyone from past years knew how movement of the waitlist works ( for UofA). Do they tell you your exact numbered position or just top/middle/bottom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAC1 Posted May 5, 2022 Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 just got accepted to uofa PT with a 3.84 GPA (in province) I just want to say that please don't get discouraged if you don't make it in this year. last year i went back to school and took 10 additional courses and gained a lot more experience and got in this year. I know the bad news is super hard and disappointing but let it encourage and motivate you!

What would you say you did differently from the last 2 previous cycles? And how did you feel the MMI went for you? Thank you so much! I made no changes to my sGPA aside from having to retake anatomy as it no longer sufficed the application requirements (was out of date). I also felt very comfortable with my sGPA as I got an interview offer my first time applying so felt no need to upgrade courses. My first cycle the MMI was shifted to Casper last minute, and last years' cycle I did minimal prep for the zoom MMI. The biggest difference maker for me was taking UofA's PT practice MMI through their career centre. They gave amazing feedback after the simulated interview and boosted my confidence enormously heading into the MMI. I felt really really good after the interview. I left very happy with the pacing, robustness, and structure of my answers. Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopefullyOT2024 Posted May 6, 2022 Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 Hello everyone! I am late joining the forum because I actually had no idea this existed! I have applied to Queens, McMaster, and Western for OT. I am happy to share more information if anyone is curious. Both McMaster and Western acknowledged my application in an email, but I never heard anything from Queens. I know it's a bit late to be wondering with only a week left, but I was curious if anyone has received an email acknowledging their application from Queens? Or perhaps they don't send them. I'm a bit worried because I feel my best chance for admission is Queens since my references are quite strong and they look at two written statements rather than only one. Any advice is appreciated! Best of luck to everyone! Only one week left :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
