dmuniat Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Just wondering when people are hearing about U of Alberta OT admissions! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcmountainlove Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 I was accepted into the U of A OT program. I received my offer at the end of March. If you haven't heard whether or not you have been waitlisted, you might want to contact the program. I suspect that as people find out about acceptances to U of A PT as well as the programs in Ontario for OT/PT, that some spots might open up at U of A for OT. There is always a shuffle!

dmuniat Posted May 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Ok sounds good! Thanks! If others could let me know when they are/have already been accepted that'd be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OThopeful Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 I'm also waiting to hear from UofA. It is the only program and school I applied to since I know I want OT and I need to be in Alberta, so my fingers are tightly crossed!! U of A OT or bust! FYI the U of A calendar states: "The selection process is competitive and will be based on the GPA in the most recent 60 taken prior to January of the admission year. Applicants are initially rank ordered according to their Admission GPA. Applicants who have completed 30 over two consecutive terms will be ranked above those who have taken fewer than 30. Students with a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or greater will normally be recommended for acceptance or conditional acceptance by March 15 of the admission year. The remaining applicants will be advised of their status by June 30 of the admission year." So, I'm not too stressed that I haven't heard yet. I knew I would not get a first round offer, although my GPA (last 60 credits) is over 3.5, my cumulative GPA is below. The rest of the offers I believe will go out after June 15, after the supporting document deadline when all applications have been completely reviewed and ranked, and they've heard back from the first round offers. So, we should know within a few weeks now! Good luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmuniat Posted June 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 O and do u know if you get notified via email? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OThopeful Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 I'm guessing they will update the status on beartracks first, so just keep checking there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcmountainlove Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 They notified me by actual snail mail! That was interesting as everyone else seems to do it by email. But if not that, then they would probably call you or send it to your U of A email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OThopeful Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Bear tracks still says decision pending.... I wonder if they'll email offers instead of snail mail due to postal strike?!?!?! Anyone been offered a spot recently?? If so what was your subGPA if you don't mind sharing! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmuniat Posted June 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 I talked to the admission people and they said that acceptances would be offered via email and rejections through a status change on bear tracks.. not even the decency for a rejection letter haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bankai Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Sorry to hear that Illmatic I got offered admission today, but will be declining as I will be going to do OT at McGill instead. Hope that helps those who are waitlisted! (If there's a waitlist...) Good luck to all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OThopeful Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Just got home from work. I'm on a waitlist... oh well, my fingers are crossed. I am a bit surprised though since my subGPA should be just shy of a 3.6 (not exactly sure, attended a couple schools with different grading systems!) and last year's lowest admitted was 3.32... Illmatic- I was going friggin mental today too! The waiting has been painful. Were you actually rejected or placed on the waitlist? I wish they would tell us what place we are on the waitlist!! MORE WAITING!!! Bankia- you've given me hope! I really want this and only applied UofA, it's my only shot! How many days did they give you to RSVP, to give me an idea of the turn around time?? (and what was your subGPA if you don't mind sharing?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OThopeful Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 still waiting..... checked on beartracks, looks like only 27 people out of 100 have registered so far for the first year OT classes.... so that's 73 spots still in limbo i hope....

kmcroberts Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Hey Guys, I have been reading this forum for a while now, finally decided to make an account. I also got into U of A OT. Has anyone got their information package yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcmountainlove Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 No, I haven't got my package yet. I hope it comes soon as I'd like to get registered and tie up some loose ends! Based on the information that they have on the website, it is hard to figure out what classes exactly we will be taking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
