FuturePT15 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Congrats! Just wondering if you have an idea of which offer you'll accept? (I'm on the Queens waitlist haha I wish I could tell you but I have no idea! I was trying not to have a preference between schools because I wasn't banking on having options. I'll post on here once I decide though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTadmission2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Applied: UofT, Western, Queen's, and Mac (all for OT) Accepted: Mac Waitlisted: UofT and Western Rejected: Queen's GPA: sGPA 3.7, cGPA 3.5 I'm ecstatic I got into Mac, but I would prefer UofT. I hate not knowing where I am on the waitlist, it's cruel that they won't tell us for OT! Thanks everyone on this forum! It was nice to know I wasn't the only one obsessing over all of these things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runner189 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 I am currently on the wait list for Queen's OT program and I was wondering when applicants will be contacted if a spot opens up. Since Queen's does not indicate where you rank on the wait list I am curious to know how the movement is and if quite a few people receive offers. Anyone who has experienced this or has any knowledge on Queen's wait list I would appreciate any information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erebakish Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Applied: UofT, Mac, Western, Queens (All PT)Accepted: Mac, QueensWaitlisted: UofTRejected: WesternGPA: cum 3.5, sub 3.88 Still undecided on where I want to go, but I got a great impression of Mac when I went there for my interview. I'll definitely do my homework on both programs though. If anyone can share more info on either program it'd be great. And anyways at the end of the day we all get the same degree anyways Personally, I think that you can make the most impact on your professional development after you leave the structured school environment.

sophlh Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Applied: U of T, Queen's, Western, McGill (all OT) Accepted: Queen's, Western Wait listed: U of T Interview: McGill GPA: cum = 3.70, sub = 3.73 - both of these grade calculations didn't include my exchange marks - I have been told that if possible universities will use exchange grades (if convertible) so with that included my GPA may be a tad higher, but just barely. I have a few questions for everybody, hopefully someone can answer: For my U of T wait list email, they didn't even give me a number...which, no big deal as I have been accepted elsewhere, but I thought that was super dumb. Here's what my email said: After careful consideration, your name has been placed on a waiting list for admission to the MScOT program. We anticipate that we will be able to act on the waiting list between June 8 and June 12, if any space exists. If we are in a position to then offer you a place in this program, you will receive an email followed by a letter in the mail. Most of the offers from the waiting list, if any, are likely to be sent by the middle of June, although the waiting list does remain active until late-August. At that time, applicants remaining on the waiting list will receive a letter of refusal. We recognize the waiting period can be difficult. It is important to note that the level of waiting list movement, if any, is very unpredictable. Please avoid inquiring about your position on the waiting list as we will not be able to provide this information. We may be in a position to comment on general waiting list movement and class capacity status after June 15. Did anyone else get this? Reading through some of the posts, it seems you all got a spot on the waiting list. Question #2: Does anyone know any big differences/advantages/disadvantages between Queen's and Western's programs and overall student experience? I am currently leaning towards Queen's as I live in Ottawa and it is closer. But I see Western has some cool program intensives that is making me consider them. Thanks guys!

I am a 2nd year western OT student. I was rejected from Queens with a 3.80 GPA, solid references and years of volunteer experience in health care, 4 seasons on a training staff in the OHL and working exclusively with disabled populations. Western grabbed me immediately. That being said, I hope you accept western, we have a great student body and there are some amazing profs here.
