Rebekka Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 I've applied to OT at Dalhousie University and have had virtually no communication with them. I have tried to email them numerous times (both during the application process and after the deadline) and never gotten a response. I spoke to someone from the admissions office to confirm that received my application and they said they would send out a letter in the coming weeks which never arrived. That was over a month ago. I am just wondering if anyone has heard anything from them. Thanks & good luck to all those who applied! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PositiveOutlooks Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 I received an email from Dal on Feb 18 confirming that they had received my application, that it was complete and would be reviewed for admission. That seems odd to me that you haven't heard anything! Could the email have gone to junk box or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebekka Posted March 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 I will phone them and see what happened. I have been keeping great track of my emails including my junk mail and I am sure I haven't missed anything from them. Thanks for your input!

pvyas29 Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Did you manage to hear something back yet? I got my email confirming my application was complete on Feb 27. So far, I've had positive responses from them. I've been able to get all my questions answered. If you call the graduate department, the secretary usually transfers you to the OT dept to Chrissy Bartlett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebekka Posted March 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 I phoned them to clarify and they were very helpful. Chrissy told me that my application has not been processed yet and that is why I have not received a confirmation email. She assured me that my application was complete and would be processed shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dre6 Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 When does Dalhousie usually start sending out offers of admissions? Anyone know of the GPA cut off from last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoping for OT Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 When does Dalhousie usually start sending out offers of admissions? Anyone know of the GPA cut off from last year? I am wondering the same. I am currently completing the pre-requisite Physio and Anatomy courses. I heard from one source that, in the past that Dal sent out conditional acceptances in April/May and then the make the final decision in June depending on your marks in these courses. However, I have also heard that they wait until June to send anything out. Does anyone know what the process was like last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebekka Posted March 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I am wondering the same thing. I still haven't gotten an email confirming that they received my application. It doesn't say anything on the website regarding when they send out offers of admission so I have no idea. Also - does anyone know the minimum mark required for the pre-req courses? Can't find that either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dre6 Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 First round of offers will be sent out mid-May. I'm still not sure what the GPA cutoff was last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoping for OT Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 First round of offers will be sent out mid-May. I'm still not sure what the GPA cutoff was last year. Thanks! I can confirm this too. Just got an e-mail back from Chrissy: ...... Our first round offers are normally sent out by mid May. If you have not completed your degree or pre-requisites then it would be a conditional offer. Chrissy ...... May can't come soon enough I am struggling through the last few units of Physiology at Athabasca. So painful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intlappOT Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I heard last year the average of the entering class was around 3.75, but thats the average, meaning that there were some lower. Does Dal release their offers the same day as Ontario? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoping for OT Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 So, a friend of mine who also applied to Dal OT checked her Dal file today and it says "Written notification to follow" She was freaking out and wondering what it meant and so she called Dal. They said that everyone will find out mid to late next week by e-mail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PositiveOutlooks Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 My file says that too - I noticed that for Application Status it also says I have items outstanding, but I received an email in february saying my application was received, complete and would be reviewed. Does anyone else's say that even though they got a confirmation email? I may email to check but maybe they just haven't updated it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PositiveOutlooks Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 What is a dal file? How do we access it? Where you go to fill out an online application on their site when applying you have to log in and then you can access submitted applications. Not sure how telling the "written notification to follow" note would be of whether one will get accepted or not though... At least we will find out soon (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PositiveOutlooks Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Any idea when he rest of us will hear from dal? I would think by today... I think some people ot rejections earlier this week but maybe that was for PT not OT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping for OT Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Did anyone get an acceptance e-mail for Dal (OT) today? I know some of you were accepted earlier in the month, so maybe it's just the Ont/Que and Western schools that have been getting e-mails? Going crazy waiting! My friend who also applied called on Monday and they said everyone would get an e-mail mid-to late week, this week, regardless of status. Looks like they are taking longer than they planned to send out e-mails... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medot Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Does anyone know when the final acceptance letters go out for Dal OT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebekka Posted May 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Great question. I've been asking the same thing since the beginning of last week. It seems that because of convocation, they are slightly behind in sending them out. They were scheduled to be out by Wednesday last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
