This was my second time applying. I was waitlisted at the beginning of April and got off the waitlist late May. I had a lot of experience in SLP related areas, but had a D in Stats when I first applied. I took another Stats course and got a B that I put down on the "required courses" section the second time round. In my gap year, I got a job as a Behaviour Interventionist, volunteered at a Brain Injury Society doing intake interviews with Brain Injury survivors, redid my letter of interest with a Career Advisor, and asked an SLP Alumni from U of A to write my reference letter. One of my referees wasn't able to get their reference letter in on time, and they still accepted my application with just 2 references. If you're applying to U of A for SLP my best advice is to job shadow as many SLPs as you can, try gaining work experience in related fields, and focus on your letter of interest and reference letters. Keep trying! If you don't get in this year, you'll probably get in next year!!

First time applicant. Completed a 2-year SLPA diploma, then a post-diploma Bachelor's degree program (60 credits) through Athabasca University. 7 years of experience as an SLPA in schools. 1st Quartile Casper.

BA in Communication. Research assistant with a linguistics lab since fall 2023. Volunteered with adults with aphasia since summer 2024. GPA is hard to calculate because I went back to school to do the prereqs for the program (current GPA is 4.26/4.33 ; GPA from my BA was 3.69/4.33). Declined this offer, accepted one from another Canadian school.
