Fingers crossed! It is my top choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is my top choice. I emailed as well. Did they respond to you? Western is my top choice too. I went here for my undergrad and am looking to settle down in the London area so I’m pretty devastated I wasn’t offered admission Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

growingup Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 Applied + (PT or OT?): OT Queens, Western, McMasters Accepted: None Waitlisted: None Rejected: All (never received McMasters kira interview, rejection from western at 6:33 am EST, rejection from Queens 9:17 am EST) GPA: 3.7 c-gpa and 3.7 s-gpa CASPer Quartile: 4th Perceived strength of essays/interviews/references I thought my applications were good. I included my experiences volunteering with children with learning disabilities, working in optometry clinic, personal experiences living with someone with a disability (dad is blind/low vision), and some research experience designing a health promotion program with my uni. One of my references was a prof, and the other was one of the doctors that I worked with at my clinic. I also made sure to include that I had met with a few OTs (shadowing) to understand the profession in both my queens and western application. If anyone has any tips on what I should improve on for applying next year let me know (i think I will look into direct OT volunteer experience). As my GPA isn't the highest, i believe that may have been a limiting factor too! Streetlamp LeMoose 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCapplicantOT Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 Still nothing on ORPAS, rejection from Queens in an email. Still haven’t heard from McMaster. I think it’s safe to assume it’s a rejection or waitlisted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppliedtoOT Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 Waitlisted at Queen’s and Western for OT. Anyone else waitlisted at Queen’s? Wish I knew how long their waitlist was… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTforMe2024 Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 Applied: McMaster, Western, U of T, Queens (all PT) Accepted: U of T, Queens Waitlisted: Western, McMaster GPA: 3.78, s-GPA: 3.98 Casper: 3rd quartile Experiences/Strengths: D1 athletics + team captain (competitive athlete for 14 years), frontline COVID work in a retirement home/LTC facility, worked as a PCA in the same facility after COVID protocols were lifted, have been working as a competitive sports coach the last 8 months with children ages ranging from 8-15. Also had around 85 hours shadowing in a private PT clinic as well as over 200 hours in a LTC clinic assisting a PT and PTA's with elderly residents. I feel I had good references. I had one from my academic advisor, one from a Senior manager and one from a PT. This is my second time applying (applied for Mac and Western last year with no success) and I am on the older side (I'll be 26 when I start in September) so I am thrilled to have the opportunity to move forward with this process!

Hey, sorry to hear about how you are feeling, you sound like a hardworking and empathetic person, and you deserve to feel better. Did you reach out to any OT students on this platform or another to read over your application or sample interview responses? I asked a few buddies of mine to do it for PT and it worked out. Since I am in PT, I can't offer any OT-specific advice but I want to let you know that your feelings are valid and your application is strong, so don't give up.

anotherhopefulOT Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 Applied: McMaster Accepted: McMaster Waitlisted: GPA: ~sGPA 3.85 Experiences/Strengths: I saw the offer in ORPAS just after midnight, and was then also able to see it in the applicant portal shortly after. I honestly had no sense of my odds - the online interview was a new experience for me and I wasn't sure how it went, but I tried my best! s9983 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
