OOP with 92% gpa, 4th quartile Casper, and great extracurriculars Hi! I'm in the same boat as you! I have a great GPA and casper score as well, with OT volunteer experience and RMHC experience, but still got a rejection. I guess it's just based on the applicant pool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boukenbc Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 Is anyone else hoping the minimal amount of activeness in this thread ( compared to past years) means less people are applying this year lol. Definitely not the case but a girl can dream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year they admitted 69 students. BUT I was #40 on their waitlist and got an offer. That means the initial first choice 69 seats didn't get filled AND 39 people on the waitlist before me also didn't take the seats. Otherwise I wouldn't have gotten an offer. I hope that helps someone sleep lol OhTea33, PTPTPT, BCOT7 and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It made me think how many applicants they take for interviews that are out of province. I was really bummed, but I suppose I'll wait to see what I hear from the next few schools. Sorry to hear about everyone's disappointment. HaadaOT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PT2 Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 On 2/14/2023 at 3:09 PM, Louisana said: I am planning to apply to U of T as well, I started my application to get a head start on the writing portion, I am not sure if they change those every year. Which essay question did you have to answer in your year for U of T and Western? For uoft there wasn’t an applicant statement just an interview. This was the applicant statement required for western. It can also be found in their application page but I can paste it below “Applicant Statement: (completed as part of the ORPAS application) Your statement (6,250 characters or approximately 1,000 words) should include all of the following components: An explanation of why you have chosen physical therapy as a career, demonstrating your knowledge of the profession and its scope of practice. A description of what you will bring to the physical therapy profession (e.g. strengths, experiences, attributes, leadership skills and/or abilities). A reflection on how you feel the principals of equity, diversity, inclusion and decolonization are important in the physical therapy profession. Your Applicant Statement should elaborate on your unique and exceptional qualities rather than just on your aspirations to become a physical therapist. Evidence of Paid or Unpaid Physical Therapy-related Experiences Provide a brief list (maximum of 4) of any activities (volunteer or paid) directly related to the physical therapy field, including a clear outline of the types of patients/individuals and the applicant's role This experience does not need to take place at a physical therapy clinic but should include working with patients/individuals with needs that could be serviced by a physical therapist Documentation must include the total number of hours of involvement, as well as the applicant’s role and the population with which the applicant interacted” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
