person14 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 how about go for PT assistant or OT assistant??? It's two years and you'll still be able to work in rehab! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imperfection Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 If it helps, I know that last year they sent out the first acceptance letters at the end of March/beginning of April. They didn't call or email, just sent out acceptance letters by snail mail. Not sure if it'll be the same this year but that's what I know from a friend who is in her first year of OT this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desiice Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 how about go for PT assistant or OT assistant??? It's two years and you'll still be able to work in rehab! Would love to but I do no think it is enough pay. I mean I do not look too much into money but if PT assistant payed even $25 bucks- $30 I would be happy. I seen some ads where the pay is 10$ - 15$ - $20 and I was a bit concerned. I seriously think PT is under payed for sure. I seriously have seen ads last week where the pay was $10 and I was not too happy. Even $15 I seen alot of them . To survive out here we need to have a decent salary , especially if you have a family. I will keep researching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastcoastgirl Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 It's a little over a 3.8, not sure exactly how U of A calculates it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monchhichi Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Has anyone else received notice from the U of A? I've been checking my mailbox and beartracks obsessively... I haven't received any. My GPA is not high as 3.8, so I don't expect to hear anything that soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monchhichi Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 I emailed them last friday, and got a reply: Some admissions have been offer to applicants with very strong GPAs and we will now complete most of our admissions from April - July so you can expect to hear from us any time during those months.

Tompsongirl Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 It's back to waiting impatiently then! Monchhichi- you applied at McGill as well as U of A, right? Those are the same schools that I applied to! What is your preference? (The private message function doesn't seem to be working). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the same schools that I applied to! What is your preference? (The private message function doesn't seem to be working). I didn't apply to McGill, I only applied to UofA, UWO and Queens. My preference is either Queens and UofA. How about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tompsongirl Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Oops, looks like I mixed you up then, excuse me I am completely undecided between McGill and U of A. I guess, at this stage, it's just hoping that I get acceptance from one of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they are now sending out offer of admission starting from high to low gpa. Perhaps now they are sending out offers for the 3.7ish applicants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
