EllieOT2022 Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Applied + (PT or OT?): Queen's, UofT, McMaster, Western (all OT)Accepted: Queen's, UofT, McMasterWaitlisted: noneRejected: WesternGPA: 3.9 (sGPA)Perceived strength of essays/interviews/references: I believe that my essays were well-written. No OT-specific experience but I drew on other experiences related to working with people, plus strong academic successes. I also identified which area of OT interests me the most and how my work experience led me to this conclusion. Several volunteer positions over the years gave me experience with all ages which I also drew on. I thought the MMI with Mac was decent but could have gone better. References knew me very well, and could comment on my academic successes, personal characteristics, and suitability to pursue a career in OT. One was a prof, one was an OT. Overall I felt relatively confident in my application, though the high GPA cut-offs from previous years was making me nervous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

takemal Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 2 minutes ago, zerochance said: How do waitlists work at one school if you have an offer from another school? One offer expires in May 28 but waitlist keeps moving until August 31....so are they like giving you an ultimatum to choose? Or can you accept what you have been offered but still be in consideration at the wait list at that other program? if u still on waitlist may 28 for the other school then its up to u to choose to risk and stay on waitlist and refuse the other school or you can just accept the offer for the school u got accepted to make sure u get a spot zerochance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PT_1234 Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Did anyone get a rejection from Mcmaster? Also if we dont see anything on ORPAS for Queens does that mean we are rejected or accepted? I got into UBC and Alberta but my ORPAS average be kinda low lol.. I interviewed for Mcmaster and was hoping to get into Queens. Just wondering if there will also be formal emails sent to notify us whether we are waitlist/ accepted/ rejected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you!! sGPA: 3.92 cGPA: 3.8 Casper: 4th quartile Experiences: Working as an ergonomic intern for 2 summers, 3 RA positions, volunteer TA, working front desk at a clinic for about 3/4 of a year and volunteering for over 300 hours at a rehab physio clinic! Honestly, I felt better about the Kira than I did CAP, but who even knows what they're looking for haha. CAP was definitely a time crunch, but I was definitely nervous about Kira and it came through in the recordings!
