Waitlist offer means they have offered you a waitlist position. Waitlist accepted means you have accepted an offer of admission off of the waitlist . mrk88 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otapplicant22 Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Just wanted to let everyone know my stats and give hope for future applicants. I applied this year for OT at UBC, UofA, UofT, Western, Queens, and Mcmaster with an sgpa of 3.54 and cgpa of 3.44. I got rejected everywhere except for Western, Just confirmed my acceptance at western. I had a 4th quartile casper, but i was sure i wouldn't get in anywhere. Don't let GPA stats ruin your confidence! If this is truly what you want please keep trying, you got this. otplsacceptme, HopefulPT2022, OT-hopeful-BC and 5 others 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had experiences volunteering with seniors in long-term care centres, with clients with aphasia, in a physiotherapy clinic, with children in camps, and with adults with disabilities in a dance program. I was also involved in a lot of leadership activities during undergrad and completed a thesis project in an exercise related lab! I am so so grateful for these acceptances!! I'm so happy the wait is finally over! Congratulations for all those that got accepted, and best wishes for those on the waitlist! Regardless of the outcome, you should all be so proud of yourselves. This application process is definitely not easy and you've accomplished so much!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrk88 Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 So why is Mcmasters reply taking so long ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerochance Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 So according to ORPAS, if you PROVISIONALLY accept an offer, then your other applications will remain active (e.g. waitlist) . But when you look at the important dates section of ORPAS you will see that provisional acceptances become FIRM on June 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Othdhdj Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 For those you confirmed their choice, we can firm accept on ORPAS now right? And you can upload your transcript in a couple days when ORPAS allows you to log back in right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMPT Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Is it just me or people apply for OT have their response but a lot of the school except Western and UofT have sent nothing for PT, right ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
