yogaandtea Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Yes I expect we won't find out about admissions for awhile. I called the office to ask why it was taking so long for my application to be updated and they received way more applications this year then in past years so everything is taking longer than usual. ahhh, thats unsettling. I'm hoping the amount of applicants stay around the same for the other schools I applied to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OT2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Eek that is unsettling.. As if an average of 450 people competing for 85 spots wasn't bad enough... Here's to hoping they all applied with the minimum criteria!... I am a bad person. I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yogaandtea Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 that makes 4! so.much.waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OT2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Yes, everyone please let us know if you hear anything!..Even though that might make me even more anxious if I don't hear something too haha I keep telling myself that there is no way I will hear anything before the end of next week and that even then I might not hear anything until even later....but still can't resist the urge to keep checking my email and mailbox! I really hope I hear something before mcmaster sends out their interviews... because I really don't want to fly all the way there if I get into UofA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepeak12 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 I totally agree with you. My initial plan was to see if i get accepted to u of a so i wont have to bother with mcmaster. But urghhhhhh this wait is horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milkymong Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Yes I expect we won't find out about admissions for awhile. I called the office to ask why it was taking so long for my application to be updated and they received way more applications this year then in past years so everything is taking longer than usual. I just got a call from the office regarding my application.( My heart almost stopped, but they just wanted to check something.) They told me that they received over 600 applications, so like we already know, everything is taking longer. They will start notifying successful applicants in early April. This is really killing me, I mean killing US !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepeak12 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Early April??? Well so much by " the end of march" as their site states Thanks for the info though, at least I wont have to check my email so much in the mean time haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
live2win Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I just got an email today telling me I am being recommended for admittance! They say that a letter will be mailed to me starting in April, and once the faculty reviews my application in a few weeks I will receive a letter welcoming me to the program.

They say that a letter will be mailed to me starting in April, and once the faculty reviews my application in a few weeks I will receive a letter welcoming me to the program. Congrats! I did too. It's a huge relief But does it mean that if the faculty doesn't like your application they could still reject you...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
live2win Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Congrats! I did too. It's a huge relief But does it mean that if the faculty doesn't like your application they could still reject you...? Congrats to you too! Yeah i wasn't very clear on that either...from my understanding, it sounds like our acceptance has passed through a kind of screening process, and are being recommended to the Faculty who have the final say in the matter. I would assume that this means that we can still be rejected by them, but the email sounded pretty positive, let we are already in or something. What I am wondering now is if our grades from our final semester are relevant, or if we are being accepted based on the GPA that we have so far...Anyone have any ideas?

beachbum Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 I got the letter too! From my understanding it sounds like we are accepted by the last line if at any time you wish to decline our offer of admission... We look forward to meeting you in September . Congrats everyone!

milkymong Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Congratulation for those who got the email today!!! I haven't even thought that I would get the early acceptance though, honestly..little bit upset. Well, but I know I have to be patient. Could you kindly let us know what is your GPA for early acceptance please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogaandtea Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 I got the email too!! I agree, judging by the last sentence, it looks like we are officially accepted. My Gpa was 3.7 by ORPAS standards. To those who are still waiting, hang in there. And congratulations to you all!! Is UofA your first choice?

OT2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Congrats everyone who found out! I am a little upset I didn't get an email especially since my GPA was around 3.76...fingers crossed for next round! I am wondering though if the email went to your personal email or to your UofA email Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimi2158 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 I'm in too!!! So excited to finally have confirmation! My GPA was somewhere in the 3.8-3.9 range, not too sure how they calculated it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
live2win Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 I got my email with a 3.76. I wonder to what extent other factors come into play as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
live2win Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 I emailed them asking for confirmation about what the email means and just thought that I would let you all know what their response was: "Yes, your application still needs to be reviewed at the Faculty, but you have been admitted. As mentioned in the e-mail, details of your admission will be in the letter that will be sent to you next week." So I think that means we are pretty much in!

PsychologyStudent Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Congrats everyone! When do you have to confirm your offer by? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCOT Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Congrats to those of you who got in! That is so exciting I would love it if when you get your acceptance e-mail you would say what your gpa was...if you dont mind of course! Mine is only 3.58, and im worried with all the applicants that this might not be competitive this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychologyStudent Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 For those who received an offer, did any of you see changes made on bear tracks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimi2158 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 No changes on bear tracks yet, but we're not supposed to confirm our offer till we get a letter in the mail next week. I'm assuming it will give us a deadline for confirmation then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kismet Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 First off, congrats to everyone who got an offer! Is anyone here not from Alberta who's going to U of A for OT? How are you guys figuring out living expenses and accommodations? I can't seem to find residence fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myb Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Hey, Congrats to all those who got their admission letters! I am wondering if you are all Alberta residents? I have a high gpa (3.95), but I am out of province. Trying to make sense as to why I didn't get an email... Maybe next round:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
