JYC Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 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:) I am wondering the same thing. I guess we have to wait for the next round. I'm not from Alberta either. Did you apply to other schools? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepeak12 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 I'm from alberta but I didn't get an email either. I think I don't have enough Ec's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OT098 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 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:) This might be obvious, but did you check your junk mail? That's exactly where my email ended up.. I'm a student from Ontario and I was accepted with a GPA of 3.86, so I can't understand why you wouldn't have received an email either! Alberta explicitly states that beside the 15 spaces reserved for Saskatchewan students, "all applicants from across Canada and other countries are reviewed together and will compete for the 100 spaces" ... so that shouldn't be the issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myb Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Thanks everyone. I appreciate the feedback! My university email doesn't have a junk folder, so I should have received an email directly in my inbox. That's ok. I did apply to other schools. I will keep my fingers crossed:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clumsyballerina Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 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:) That seems strange...could it be something with the statistics prerequisite? That's an amazing gpa, good job (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myb Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Thanks:) I think it may be the course load. I am a mom of three, so most of my semesters ranged from 3 courses/semester to 4 courses/semester. I wonder if this may be the case. They don't feel I can handle it? Just wait and see:) I did apply to others. UBC waitlisted, but Dalhousie has yet to say anything? Oh, and just completing a third stats course, so I don't believe that would be it.

OTYear1 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Hey guys, I'm a first year OT student at U of A who was in your stressful position this time last year. For this reason, feel free to send me a private message with any questions relating to the program or the admission process. Since I was admitted in the final round of letters, I should be able to help you out a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhunte03 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 I was just going to ask if anyone had the exact dates on which letters go out? I am expecting that if I get one it will be final round as I have 3.5 Subgpa and I am also applying from Ontario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking for an idea on time frame. Thanks and hope your first year has been a good one:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OT098 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 I haven't gotten my acceptance letter in the mail yet. Am I the only one? I was just going to ask the same thing! Haven't received mine yet either.. I'm OOP so I'm expecting to receive it a couple days after IP students do. Please let us know if anyone receives theirs!

PsychologyStudent Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Okay that makes me sort of relieved:p I was going to email the admissions office. I'm from Ontario, so I hope that's the reason why! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm from Ontario too! Will post on here when I receive my letter. The email said it would be sent out "sometime" during the first week of April. Maybe it's just taking it's sweet time to actually get to us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTJM Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 You did interpret my question correctly . I was accepted to UBC and waiting on UofA but don't love the idea of not finding out if there is a Calgary cohort until June or July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTYear1 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Hi there, Just curious when the final round of letters were sent out last year (if you can recall)? Looking for an idea on time frame. Thanks and hope your first year has been a good one:) The last round that involved multiple people was sent out mid-July last year. Some people did not find out until 3-5 days before orientation week though due to people cancelling and adding an additional 2 spots to the Calgary cohort last minute. They initially told me in May that I did not get in (although I never received a formal letter with this information), just a warning that it can be quite late if you're close to the cut off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTYear1 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I applied for the Calgary cohort and have been accepted; however, when I asked if I had been accepted to Calgary or Edmonton they said that due to budget cuts they might not be offering the Calgary program and that it might not be until June or July that we know! There's definitely a Calgary cohort, and I'd definitely recommend it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ,too, chose Calgary, but I didn't receive an email the first round. Did you find the first year intense with a lot of work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhunte03 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 There's definitely a Calgary cohort, and I'd definitely recommend it! Sorry this might be a silly question, but how did you specify Calgary? I think I must have completely missed this option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
