Davey Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 Hi everyone, I just got admitted at Western PT at 10:20 am. I was in the upper third on the wait list, so hopefully this gives you some hope. thereluctantemu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thereluctantemu Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 Anyone heard anything about the U of A and/or Dalhousie OT waitlists lately? I think a week or two ago I saw that at least one person got accepted from the waitlist for the U of A and I think further back in this thread someone (in-province) also got off the Dalhousie waitlist, but I haven't heard that there's much movement otherwise.

I tried emailing to ask if the class was full but I was told that they could provide no details on the class size or waitlist status. I’m also anxiously waiting to see what happens.

I am proof a “lower” gpa in the 3.7’s can get in my sgpa was a huge worry last cycle and I got into all schools I applied too so I am proof experiences do matter Applied + (PT or OT?): OT UBC, UofA, Western Accepted: All ( currently at UBC) Waitlisted: Rejected: n/a GPA: 3.8ish ubc and 3.74 UofA and western Perceived strength of essays/interviews/references: my ubc interview I came out not confident but I really showed my personality which helped. I worked in vocational rehabilitation and recreational therapy which is what I discussed in my applications. For uofa which can see my academic CV my other experiences included working in vocational rehab at a university, dementia care assistant, founder of an equity diversity club, faculty of medicine orientation representative, respite care assistant, assistance in students with cerebral palsy.

They have provided more information every other year and every other school is notifying us when the class is full so I don’t know what is different this year and why there has been no information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to lose hope Was really hoping for Western as I'm in the upper third of the waitlist but the movement seems to be slow/minimal Hi everyone just wanted to come on here to provide some hope. I got an email admission offer from Western OT on Friday! I will be accepting but I hope this helps those wondering if there is waitlist movement.

skydreamer Posted Monday at 06:00 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 06:00 PM I am on the UofA PT list and haven't gotten an offer yet, but a classmate of mine was also on the waitlist and got an offer. Only one more month before PT starts so my fingers are crossed right now. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OT2000 Posted Tuesday at 01:11 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 01:11 AM Hi everyone! I’ve gotten an offer for U of A OT at the Augustana campus and it said that I would remain on the waitlist for my other campus choices if it wasn’t my first. Does anyone know how I will know if I do end up getting off the wait list for the Edmonton campus? I have an offer in the GSMS portal that I need to decide if I will accept or not but it does not say which campus I would be accepting so I am a bit confused! It says final decisions regarding campus placement will be made August 12 but that doesn’t leave much time to set up housing. It also says to not contact the offices about the campus placements unless it’s to remove myself from the waitlist. Thanks in advance!

I don’t know for sure but *I think* you would be accepting the offer for augustana campus but would remain waitlisted for your first choice. I was also accepted at U of A, and my official offer letter in the GSMS portal did not specify my campus either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UofAOTguy Posted 23 hours ago Report Share Posted 23 hours ago Hello! I was accepted to UofA OT and was wondering if anyone was looking for housing? I found a 3bd and 3.5bth and would ideally want 2 other guy roommates either in OT or PT! The house is around a 10-12 minute walk to Corbett hall. Let me know if you are interested and I can give more information! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
