OkanaganOT Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 I think I read somewhere that they are mid-May Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saskOT2019 Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Last year I received my offer on May 5th. This was a few weeks later than previous years. I believe that this was the first round of offers and that there were more rounds of offers sent out afterwards! If you have any more questions about U of A OT I’d be happy to answer them, if I can!

Did you get an waitlist offer last year? Do you mind sharing your GPA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that I was offered a seat in the first round of offers. I actually don’t know what my gpa was for U of A since my grades were in percentages and then were converted to a gpa, but I can tell you that my orpas gpa was calculated as 3.78, which I felt was low when compared to others on this forum, but ended up being quite competitive. I’m also a Saskatchewan student (the sask gov funds seats at the u of a) so I was in a different pool of applicants than most of the other students.

I was, however, waitlisted the year before and I can tell you that I was told that typically around half of the students on the wait list are ultimately admitted into the program.

The website also says that application review begins ~March 1, which makes me think that offers would come out sooner than mid-may. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TobaOTHopeful Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Hey! I was just wondering if you or anyone had found anything more out about when the first round of offers would be coming out or if you had heard anything from U of A at all yet? Now that people are getting acceptances from other schools I'm getting a bit antsy to find out if I'll be accepted to U of A as I haven't heard anything yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OThopeful18 Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 I emailed UofA recently and didn't get any specific info. They sent me a link to their website, which states that mid-May is when we'll get an update. Last year I heard back from UofA around May 11..so maybe similar timeline will be followed this year.

saskOT2019 Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 The professors are busy marking our assignments and finals, but as far as I know they are reading through the applications as well. It will probably be a couple weeks at least until you hear back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TobaOTHopeful Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 Okay thanks for the info @saskOT2019 and @OThopeful18! I guess I'll just have to keep patiently waiting awhile longer.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otot Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 I wouldn't get too worried yet I think it's still early but yes I am an Alberta resident and I'm not sure how to calculate my gpa with Alberta but as a percentage it's 84 in my last 2 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the offer come to your U of A email or the email you supplied in your application? It'd be nice to know where to look so I can stop checking both emails and Bear Tracks.

BecomingAnOT Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 Hello, I also got a wait list offer for UofA on Friday. I reside in Ontario and Alberta OT Admissions told me my GPA was 3.7 (I emailed them to ask). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTOTOT13 Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 For those that have been put on waitlist. If you check your status in the application phase has it changed from “pre-screening”? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BecomingAnOT Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 Nope, it still says pre-screening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TobaOTHopeful Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 So have only waitlist offers gone out or has anyone received an acceptance or rejection? In the past I thought acceptances came out first so I'm a bit concerned that I've heard nothing. Do you guys think acceptance letters might be released tomorrow?

Friedchicken Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 Got acceptance letter this morning (IP). Status still says prescreening/awaiting decision on the application if anyone's wondering. All the best to those awaiting a response! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTPsycApp Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 I got the acceptance email this morning as well. I'm a BC resident, but went to university in the states. Good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureOT2018 Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 I got my acceptance letter this morning. I'm from Vancouver. ORPAS GPA was 3.78. Not sure what it was for UofA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
