laudable Posted April 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Got a Dal PT invite from Kelly. They say they do interviews over the phone for out of Atlantic Canada students. Yaay to saving money. Anyone else heard from Dal PT? Anyone has experience with the telephone interviews with Dal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mhamil04 Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Applied: Mac, U of T, Western, Queens, Dalhousie, McGill all PT Accepted:Waitlisted:Rejected: Interviews: Mac, Dal, UofT cumGPA: 3.84 subGPA: 3.88Perceived strength of essays/interviews/references: My references I am sure are okay, the prof I did my 4th year research project with and the physiotherapist that I have volunteered with for a year. I tend to interview pretty well but I am worried about my personal statement. I think it was fine, but not really anything stupendous. I was wondering if anyone had heard from McGill yet/ when they expect to hear from McGill because I am worried that I haven't yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't get an e-mail from UofT or Queen's for OT - did anybody get one? Just got Mac PT! Good luck to everyone Does anyone else have both their OT and PT on the same day? Mine are on the same day as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverOT Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Applied: Dalhousie, UofT, Queen's, Western, UofA (all OT) Accepted: DalhousieWaitlisted:Rejected: subGPA: 3.5 I got an early acceptance to Dal on March 31st (an email from the OT dept) and I got the official email from the faculty of graduate studies yesterday! I'm from NB but did my undergrad at UofT so I'm not sure how that affected my application. I graduated last year with a not-so-stellar GPA at UofT and was rejected from everywhere for OT in 2015 so I'm super pumped to be accepted to at least 1 school! I went back to school for an upgrading year and that boosted my GPA by at lot so i would highly recommend that to anyone thinking about upgrading. I also have 5 years as an OT/PT assistant working for WorkSafeNB and one of my reference letters was from a past-president of the NB Association of OT's so hopefully that helped me since my GPA wasn't crazy high even after upgrading!

OT_Applicant13 Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Hey guys, just wondering how you guys are preparing for the mac OT interview? Has anyone done an MMI before? Anything I can do to prepare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules4MOT Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Ah ! Rejected again. It is so competitive. I am feeling pretty defeated but I will continue to upgrade and reapply. I think I will apply to UOA next year as well, I just need a stats course. I should have a 3.75 after this semester, and then I will take more courses in the fall. So disappointed I got rejected this year too! I was on the wait list at number 5 last year.... so don't take it personally! I'd concentrate on other schools. i asked about how they weighted the interview/experience and GPA and they wouldn't tell me, it was a secret! so I think GPA is a high percentage of their weight because i did very well in the interview last year and this year and was flat out rejected.

hopefullyOT Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Applied: UofM, UofA, Dal all OT Accepted: Waitlist: Rejected: Dal cGPA: 3.5/4.5 sGPA: 3.75/4.5 I know my essay was okay and I have around 500 hours volunteering with people with disabilities. I obviously don't have as much as some people I've seen posting here (y'all are keeners, I'm impressed!) but I know my references are really good (two profs and volunteer coordinator). I'm hoping my experience and my references are enough to make up for my less than perfect GPA. Good luck guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
