OTOPLS Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 23 hours ago, OT123OT said: Hey! I got a conditional acceptance to Dal OT this morning! I'm an in province student, wondering if anyone has any insights as to when final acceptance should be expected for the school of graduate studies/registrar? I assume it will be once my final transcript is sent in? Did you receive an email? I noticed on my application summary it says decision made and the status says accepted, however I havent gotten any emails yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCapplicantOT Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 Got waitlisted at Dal - gpa is a 3.92, I work at an OT clinic as an assistant and I had great references. I had a meeting with their admission team in December only to find out that all out of province seats were taken away. She told me that although I had a very strong application and they’d love to take me, EVERY Atlantic resident was ahead of me. Not suprised I got waitlisred as that’s what they told me would happen. Thought others might appreciate the clarity! DSWturnedOT2024, OT Queen and ItsME01 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just want to share my experience as it's important to keep things in perspective especially if you live out of province and need more time to figure out living arrangements if accepted.

I’m on the out of province waitlist so I’m trying not to get my hopes up, but I expect there will be more movement on the list in May when other schools start sending out acceptances. You're right!

If it’s similar to OT, then it would be pointless for all OOP applicants to apply since we’re basically at the very bottom of that waitlist, if we were to get waitlisted… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTPls24 Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 Has anyone been in touch with Dal PT Admissions and have an idea when they will be sent out? I know it says "spring" on the website but am wondering if it'll be soon since OT admissions went out. The wait is killing me!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on my digging for admissions over the past couple of years. I am expecting to hear this coming week. It seems like this is the equivalent week in the calendar to when they have sent out admissions in the past. I have it in my head that I am expecting to hear back on the 17th for some reason. Good luck! Edited April 14 by DGK Fact checked myself weareinthistogether, ItsME01 and kintoPT 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
