chenyufei396 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Posted February 9, 2013 Hey! Let this community know what your sGPA is, what schools you want to get into, and how extensive your extracurricular is. Good luck to everyone who applied this year!
Guest Physioprospect Posted February 9, 2013 Report Posted February 9, 2013 This forum has really died since last year. It was a buzz last year with applicants.

tequila_surise Posted February 12, 2013 Report Posted February 12, 2013 I Just received my letter from ORPAS, my sub GPA is 3.5 and cGPA is 3.35. My second year marks really brought me down . Banking on Queens because their cut off is the lowest and I do have extensive extracurricular experience. I also applied to U of T OT. I was accepted to D'Youville College in Buffalo for their Physical Therapy program. It looks like I may have to start considering DYC...
try Posted February 13, 2013 Report Posted February 13, 2013 .@tequila_sunrise you still have a chance at Queen's! DYC is not a bad option though, I would suggest you go there if it doesn't work out at Queen's. Good job for having a back up plan. This is my second time applying and I just got my orpas confirmation that my subGPA is 3.74, up from 3.61 last year when I got flat out rejected from 3 schools. I have high hopes for this round, good luck to all
PTSkye Posted February 13, 2013 Report Posted February 13, 2013 Anyone else still waiting on their ORPAS confirmation? Getting antsy
d2bot Posted February 13, 2013 Report Posted February 13, 2013 I am also waiting for my ORPAS confirmation and it is making me really nervous! I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one.

Did you need to have all these prerequisite courses for the d'youville college to get accepted? Thats quite an extensive list of prerequisites. All my physiology courses didn't have a lab component to it so I'm not sure if they would consider it.

I still need to get physics I plan on completing it through Athabasca online.

I still need to get physics I plan on completing it through Athabasca online. Not really worth it for me to apply to there then. I saw better well known us schools with less prerequisites in better areas like california and florida.

Guest Physioprospect Posted February 20, 2013 Report Posted February 20, 2013 why didnt you apply at queens, with your experience, thats what they look for. Your the exact type of person that should get into a physio program but due to skyrocketing GPA requirements it could be tough. Wish you the best of luck.

I know, the GPA only thing is a joke and is in no way indicative of a quality candidate; however, they need a way to streamline the process and what better way to do it. I didn't apply to Queens because I have 2 young children and I live in windsor and there is no way I could commute from Kingston to Windsor on weekends. I'm hoping for the best but who knows. I got burned by a B- in second year otherwise I would have had a 3.8. Oh well, we'll see.
cocibear Posted February 21, 2013 Report Posted February 21, 2013 Does anyone know when we will know if we got an interview??
Leon Posted February 21, 2013 Report Posted February 21, 2013 Does anyone know if you qualify for OSAP if you attend McGill PT?
OT16 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Posted February 24, 2013 Does anyone know if you qualify for OSAP if you attend McGill PT? OSAP is for Ontario schools
try Posted February 25, 2013 Report Posted February 25, 2013 Osap is for residents of Ontario, no matter where you choose to study, as long as the school is an osap approved school (all legitimate schools are). Ex. if a student from BC comes to study PT in Ontario, they would not be eligible. A student from Ontario who studies at McGill would be. This is what I understood from the site.

Yea, that's my understanding too but I'm trying to confirm.
