Beware though that for some reason they admitted 70 students at UofT this year. Anyways GOODLUCK to everyone!įorget applying to McMaster if your sGPA is below 3.85, or consider it if you are close (I was waitlisted for interviews last year with a 3.83) although you'd probably just be donating 100 bucks to McMaster ?įor UofT you need around 3.80 to have a good chance, but some people with sGPAs lower than that got in this year. To be honest I didn’t participate much in class and graduated two years ago so its been difficult to get a strong reference letter. I’m curious if anyone knows the cut off sub-gpa’s from last year and how heavily they rely on references. I’m pretty nervous as I know how competitive everything is and I’m still awaiting responses from professors to be my reference. I’m a first time applicant and applying to UofT, Mcmaster, and Western. If the price and time commitment is not a worry for you then it is definitely an option! Overall applying in the US is less competitive as there are more schools to apply to however, it is much more expensive and requires just as many requisite courses as Canadian schools if not more. Some of these you may already have from you undergrad. Another downside is that to receive you Masters you have to meet the American Hearing Associations guidelines, which is an additional 5 general courses outside your SLP masters things like a multiculturalism, Biology etc. The UofArizona was much more expensive, I think averaging 53,000 USD a year. So roughly 71,000 USD just for tuition! And UofM is considered the cheap option. The master program was an additional 44,000 dollar USD. The leveling year for UofM was roughly 10 courses over 12 months and about 27,000 dollars USD. When I was looking last year I looked at the University of Montana and University of Arizona. However, one of the major downsides is that most of the schools require you take a leveling year (from September to August), as the US does offer an CSD undergrad. There are a LOT of schools (over 100 I think?) so you'll have a many to choose from. Hey! So I can't say I know where most Canadians go, but after I got rejected last year I also looked into US schools. Where did you see the 500 words? Or does that come up when in ORPAS application? I agree that 500 words for the second section seems quite difficult.ĭoes anyone know where most Canadians go in the US to get their SLP certification?
