Boukenbc Posted June 12 Report Share Posted June 12 Hey all! not sure if a forum has been made yet but here is one for the UofA OT waitlist. Feel free to discuss any news or updates, your position, concerns/wishes, and most importantly if you get in so we can all give you a big congratulations potato12, OT2022Hopeful, otplsacceptme and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otplsacceptme Posted June 13 Report Share Posted June 13 I have a feeling movement will be little to none this year I know its a little early to be making these assumptions given that tomorrow is the payment finalization deadline but I was looking at the facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1176701459799726/?ref=share) and it seems like ~90 have firmly accepted (3 admins and assuming that everyone in the group was admitted)? ~120 seats available, 20 reserved for Saskatchewan, 2 reserved for Indigenous and 98 for Canadian applicants... On another note, I have been considering fully committing to going to Queens but I'm not too sure how to feel about Kingston itself.. Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? I am IP for UAlberta and it would make my life so much easier to stay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I guess that based on that group we can assume that a max of around 30 or a min of 8 spots are still available for Canadian applicants depending on how many of those 90 already in the group are Saskatchewan residents/Indigenous. Seems like there could still be a fair amount of movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otplsss Posted June 13 Report Share Posted June 13 I’ve also been keeping an eye on the number of seats available for first year courses on beartracks and it looks like they haven’t started enrolling people which makes sense if they haven’t finalized payments yet. Hopefully we will have a better idea later this week and they will respond to our emails. *fingers crossed* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTHope9 Posted June 13 Report Share Posted June 13 Has anyone received a response for submitting their final transcripts? I sent mine just over 10 business days ago and received an email stating they would respond within 10 business days. I guess they are busy with receiving the fees and such today but just feeling nervous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s weird though because last year it seems like we heard about movement in June/ faster response times so there may be less people in admissions this year, would be my guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTPT22 Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 The waitlist should see some movement soon! I officially declined my acceptance on the portal after initially accepting when the first round of acceptances came out. I emailed them about withdrawing my acceptance on May 30th and still haven’t gotten a response. They’re probably really backed up on admissions stuff, so once they catch up hopefully more spots will open up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ot20222222 Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 just got an email back saying there is very little movement on the waitlist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OT2022Hopeful Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 I just got a reply from u of a. They said there’s been very minimal movement on the waitlist. I’m in the middle section so I’m starting to think there’s no hope of me getting in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otplsacceptme Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 damn I had hopes being on the top of the waitlist but idk if they'll continue.. i'm not sure how much it has moved so far, but I emailed them yesterday (June 14th) so I guess its a waiting game now. fingers crossed theres some movement within the coming days!

Same i was told I was top waitlisted too, in 2020 they seemed to go all the way down to the middle but last year they didn’t even finish the top section so hopefully we get more movement over July and August ugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTprospect22 Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 uggh. I'm in the top section as well. I was really hopeful getting the email about that as I only got waitlisted at western (middle section) and rejections everywhere else I submitted my final transcript May 18th and got a response saying it's been added to my file the next day so I thought that was a good sign but I haven't heard anything since. All we can do I guess is send out good vibes that the waitlist moves and we get in *fingers crossed* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpOT Posted June 16 Report Share Posted June 16 I just got an email back from UofA: We do not release the number of waitlist offers that have been sent. However, I can tell you that to date we have had slower than usual waitlist movement and have release very few seats. Waitlist movement occurs randomly based on a decline from a accepted applicant. Waitlisted applicants can be contacted any time up until the end of August. If we are able to offer you admission you will be contacted by email as soon as possible.

I received a very similar email a few days ago. I’m in the top section but I’m feeling a little discouraged hearing there hasn’t been much movement. I guess it’s still early but this waiting game sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you thought about if you would still accept if you got an offer at the very end of August? I’m OOP so I’m having a hard time deciding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m OOP so I’m having a hard time deciding I would accept if I found out at the end of august because I’m from Edmonton, so thankfully I wouldn’t have to move. That’s a tough decision! It would definitely be stressful to move on such short notice but also so hard not to turn down the offer. If we both got accepted, I would happily help you move ahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we hear some more movement soon, I've heard from people that have previously accepted a seat this cycle that they haven't received their official/ second letter acceptance (which is post payment) so we shall see. For those of us keeping track (maybe just me?) we have heard of people getting off the waitlist on May 27 and June 22, fingers crossed! otplsacceptme, 2022OTRMWDoodler and otplsss 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ooooooootpls Posted Thursday at 12:39 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 12:39 PM Thanks everyone! For your reference I was at the top of the list. They gave me a deadline of July 6th to accept so maybe another round of offers will go out then? Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
