Cinnamongirl Posted June 11, 2022 Report Share Posted June 11, 2022 Hi everyone who got accepted to McMaster OT! Where do I pay my deposit? I just got off the waitlist this week. I saw they told us to go into account summary in the application portal, but I couldn’t find it anywhere Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reached out near the end of May and they said they haven’t sent out the second round of acceptances but then later that day a few people made it off the waitlist. I also hope it’s because they are verifying payments/forms. On 6/6/2022 at 6:20 PM, ot20222222 said: Nothing yet! Hopefully we hear something soon On 6/6/2022 at 1:59 PM, 2022OTRMWDoodler said: I also emailed them last week. No word from them yet. There auto-response says that they make an effort to respond to emails within 14 business days. I would think we should start seeing some movement especially this week as the Ontario schools provisional acceptances become firm acceptances, Just checking in with you guys – have you heard from UofA at all? The wait is making me antsy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They emailed me the numbers on June 2, but I was accepted in the first round of offers so I'm not sure how long the wait between getting off the waitlist and getting the email is. I did feel like the wait between accepting my offer and getting the student number was a bit long though. Maybe give them another work day or two and then email them? I also got a different email from Mac about timelines that my gmail automatically sorted into my promotions tab for some reason, so I'd check there and spam as well just to make sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptapplicant007 Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 if anyone got accepted into queens or western pt, can you reply so I can send you a message about the personal statement. Thank you AspiringPT2022 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptapplicant007 Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 On 5/16/2022 at 8:32 PM, PFPT said: Congratulations to everyone accepted!! An update on the application: Applied + (PT or OT?): All PT - Dalhousie, Queen’s, UofT, Western & Mac (Ontario resident) Accepted: Dalhousie, Queen's, UofT, Western (took Western) Waitlisted: McMaster (top 100) Rejected: GPA c-gpa and s-gpa: c-gpa 3.65 & s-gpa 3.96 CASPer quartile: 4th quartile. Perceived strength of essays/interviews/references: -PT-ish experiences were 16 hours volunteering as a PTA. 1060 hours doing admin for a pelvic health physio clinic, 90 hours PTA for the same clinic. 21 hours as an exercise assistant for patients undergoing cancer treatment and 14 hours as a workout buddy for students who were referred to increase physical activity for their mental health. -Other experiences were 130 hours as a TA for anatomy, 90 hours completing cadaver dissections, 41 hours as a research assistant and 33 hours as a peer mentor for students. -References: one academic was my anatomy prof who I work with as a TA and who supervised a senior project. Dal needed a second prof, so I have the one I worked with as an RA. Professional was the owner of the clinic I did PTA & admin with. I think they all know me pretty well and should hopefully give strong references. -Personal statements: I didn’t feel *super* confident in these. I think Western ended up being the best, Queens in the middle and Dal was not my favourite. I had a few people read them over and used university resources to also proofread. So apparently Kira didn't go fantastic, but I was SUPER nervous for it and had had my wisdom teeth removed about a week before so not an ideal time lol can i message you about western pt?
