saddleup09 Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Has anyone seen any movement on the UBC PT waitlist? I know today is the last day for everyone to accept their UBC offers. Is anyone not accepting their offer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the times schools send out more offers than they have seats because they know people will decline their offers ): holding out hope for us though. I’m on two wait lists and just hoping for a spot at either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppliedtoOT Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 5 hours ago, thereluctantemu said: What does that mean? I posted above but usually schools send more offers than they have spots. So if a school sends 150 offers and have 100 spots and 50 people decline then they never need to use their waitlist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTgal2024 Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 Hey everyone!! Congrats to everyone who applied this cycle! Whether if you received an offer or not, I hope you’re proud of yourself for all the hard work put in<3 I am very lucky to have gotten offers at both UoT and McMaster for OT. I think as of now I’m leaning more towards McMaster…but I am still on the fence! I’ve done a bit of research on both schools and what other people have said, but just curious if anyone here has any pros or cons related to either? Honestly ANYTHING is appreciated!! Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozzzle Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 Just wanted to post here for those on OT waitlists. I was accepted to both Western and McMaster for OT but will be declining and pursuing accelerated nursing instead. Hope this gets some movement going for anyone on either of the schools waitlists!!

Do you mind sharing what made you choose accelerated nursing over OT? Only if you are comfortable sharing your thoughts? I am also considering going to accelerated nursing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callaway17 Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 To anyone that was waitlisted for Western PT, have you heard back about where you sit on the waitlist? I emailed asking on Wednesday morning but have yet to get a response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msd_ptpt Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 Applied + (PT or OT?): (All PT) McMaster, UofT, Western, UBC (out of province) Accepted: All schools Waitlisted: Rejected: GPA: c-gpa (3.80) s-gpa (3.98) CASPer Quartile: 4th Perceived strength of essays/interviews/references Just accepted my offer to UofT PT so hopefully all other schools see waitlist movement Experiences: Physio assistant in two private clinics, group fitness trainer in a private ortho clinic, volunteering with children with disabilities, research assistant in Kinesiology dept, leadership role in a vaccine clinic, and some other smaller things. Took this year off after finishing my undergrad last year and it's the best decision I ever made! Allowed me to gain alot of experience for my resume and focus more on my applications/interviews. But for most schools GPA/Casper likely helped me gain interviews. Preparing well for casper is important, and taking more courses to upgrade your sGPA if needed. Interviews: Felt great about UofT CAP interview (I feel confident communicating through writing, lots of practice from Casper and I am a pretty fast typer so I was able to complete every question thoroughly. Would recommend practicing typing speed and having knowledge of current topics in healthcare. Mac KIRA: Can't really prepare much for this since the questions are very general but just try to just be yourself and show enthusiasm, and speak for as long as possible. UBC MMI: This one was definitely the hardest to prepare for, do lots of practice answering questions for 5-6 minutes straight and plenty of relevant knowledge on public health topics. Please feel free to reach out and DM me if you have any questions at all I'd love to provide advice and support! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s9983 Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 Got into western PT&OT, waitlisted for Mac OT & UofT PT. But surprisingly, I think I plan to head down a different route and pursue accelerated nursing, so I will be turning down my offers. Hope this brings forth some movement on the waitlists for some of you, best of luck! AppliedtoOT and PlsTakeMeOT 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like they should just give the same amount of first round offers as they have spots and make a longer waitlist so there is more waitlist movement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
