PlsOT Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 On 5/12/2022 at 9:39 PM, ot2022pls said: Applied (OT): UBC, UofT, McMaster, Western, Queen's Accepted: UofT, Western, Queen's Rejected/Waitlisted: UBC, no word from McMaster sGPA:3.86, cGPA: 3.69 CASPer score: 4th quartile If this helps at all, I'm a BC applicant lol. I think my interview skills needs a little brushing up haha (rejected at the schools that needed an interview) I am a BC applicant with the exact same offers!! Do you know which one you will accept? I’ve never been to Ontario so I’m super torn with which city and program would suit me best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OT24 Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 Hey! I actually don’t intend to go the OT route anymore but I thought I’d share my stats anyways! Applied + (PT or OT?): UofT, queens, mac… all OTAccepted: UofTWaitlisted:Rejected: Queens, Mac (attended MMI)GPA: sgpa- 3.9, cgpa- 3.78, casper- 4thPerceived strength of essays/interviews/references: I think my essays were good! My references were decent as well. My only real experiences I could use were academic achievements from undergrad (thesis work etc.) and patient care being a pharmacy assistant. I have no experience in the sector of rehabilitation whatsoever, which I really thought would limit me from any acceptances. Also I absolutely blew my mac MMI oops I really didn’t expect to get in anywhere, so I was really honoured even though I’ve chosen a different career path hahah. Congrats and best of luck to you all! I’ll be turning down my uoft offer shortly to open up a spot:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QasinCucumber Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 Applied (PT): UofT, McMaster, Queen's, Western Accepted: Queen's (accepting!) Waitlisted: Western (top/upper third; email received May 17th), McMaster (#96; email received May 16th) Rejected: UofT (nothing on ACORN leading up to results day on May 13th) GPA: 3.88 cGPA and 3.97 sGPA CASPer: 3rd quartile Year: graduating from undergrad Perceived strength of essays/interviews/references: References should have been strong; I used my research supervisor + employer (non-PT related). The Mac Kira Talent interview felt really short and I didn't feel prepared cause it was so early in the application cycle. Was expecting a direct rejection from Mac cause the interview is worth 75%. The UofT CAP was a time crunch but the questions didn't feel too difficult. I thought I did alright on the CAP. Was expecting a decent chance at UofT, especially considering the sGPA is worth 60% and the minimum sGPA for a CAP invite is usually ~3.8. My essays for Western and Queen's felt so-so cause I had experience reflecting and writing about my ECs/experiences/competencies, but I had no direct PT experience; instead, I related to PT and communicated my knowledge of PT. Expected chances: UofT > Western > Queen's >= McMaster Actual chances: Queen's > Western >= McMaster > UofT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otapp22 Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 Applied (OT): UofT, McMaster, Western, Queen's Accepted: UofT, McMaster, Queen's Waitlisted: Western Rejected: sGPA:3.87, cGPA: 3.71 CASPer score: 3rd quartile Essays/interviews/references: Felt that my essays were really strong. One reference was from a professor, other was from my old volunteer supervisor. Both knew me really well for 2-3 years and I know they both wrote really good references for me. I had two years experience at a sexual health clinic, 8 months research experience at a hospital, 1 year experience working with an SLP for a day program, 1 year experience as a volunteer coordinator for a youth sexual health program, current job as a caregiver for a home care agency. Did about a week of prep for the interview with McMaster and felt it went well. Also did about a week of prep for the CASPer but didn't feel great about it after. I'll be accepting UofT. Good luck to everyone on the waitlists! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EllieOT2022 Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 Hi! For anyone who is at UofT (or was accepted) for OT, do you know the start date of the program? I saw something about a one day online orientation last year and then classes starting after labour day. I'm wondering if we can expect to have to be in Toronto before labour day?? Does UofT typically have a mandatory in-person orientation? Thanks guys ☺️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s hard to say because COVID affected previous years and they may have changed some things after doing online stuff… :/ congrats on getting in! Are you planning on accepting UofT’s offer?

OTstudent2 Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 Does anyone have information on Alberta’s OT program, or contacts with OT students there? I haven’t been able to find much information about the program and am trying to decide between Alberta and a few Ontario schools… but without information on Alberta’s program it’s difficult to decide!
