Thank you so much I had the same problem - I went back took individual courses at any university as a "continuing education" student AND took a couple credits at Athabasca university (Online).

lemmein2024 Posted June 3 Report Share Posted June 3 Is there any group chat for WESTERN OT? Got off the waitlist on thursday (I was upper third) and accepted my offer through ORPAS on friday. Big congrats to everyone else this year who also got accepted!! This was my third time applying and I'm still in shock as my sGPA was definitely not the greatest. I took extra courses in the fall to boost my GPA while working full time and also did some research with Ophthalmologists as I work in the field. To those who were rejected this year - don't give up!

I got accepted off the waitlist for Dal OT! However, I think they were waiting for me to finish my prerequisites prior to an acceptance as I herd back just a few days after I submitted my final grades for those. I am an in province student for reference. Good Luck!! I have heard that there is generally movement from their waitlist during June and then again in August. I don't know how many are on the waitlist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ot2.0 Posted June 3 Report Share Posted June 3 6 hours ago, DalOTplz said: Hi! Just wondering what you did to boost your gpa? As I am already graduated and not sure what I can do to raise my gpa without doing another whole degree. Thank you so much Hey! I took courses at the university I graduated from as a non-degree student! I contacted the registrar’s office to let them know and they registered me as such. I chose the same university because I was familiar with the application process and such for courses. However, at my university non-degree students have the last date for course enrolment so I was worried I wouldn’t be able to enrol in the courses I wanted to. So I made sure to have a lot of options in case some didn’t work out. Definitely take a look into your own university but also others around you. Another user mentioned attending Athabasca University online. When I was deciding, I also looked into Carleton University (mentioned in last year’s forum) and the Chang school of continuing education. Please feel free to pm if you’d like more info!

As I am already graduated and not sure what I can do to raise my gpa without doing another whole degree. Thank you so much Many universities offer something called open studies/continuing education, something like that. So you can take courses without being enrolled in a degree program. Athabasca University and Thompson Rivers offer completely online courses where you basically read the textbook and do the assignments yourself, there are no lectures. I did courses both through the University of Alberta and Athabasca University. However, just be mindful of what courses they include as part of the GPA calculation. The U of A, for example, will not include marks in 100-level classes if you take them outside of a degree program. I'm assuming they do this so that people don't just take a bunch of random 100-levels to pad their GPAs. I took a 200-level course through the U of A and then another through Athabasca outside of my degree, so those will count, but if I had taken 100-level courses then the U of A specifically wouldn't include them in s-GPA. Other schools will, it just depends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm OOP though and I'm told that it's pretty difficult to get a spot as an OOP student so...we'll see. OT Queen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
