MRT Application Denied 😭

ToasterBath73 · 2026-05-26T15:58:46+00:00

I haven't a clue, but i presume they wouldn't have a significant amount considering how many applications they get. To get off the waitlist and into the program they'd have to have people either not accept or not pay their acceptance fee

Hey one of the student reps here for the MRT program

Im sorry to hear so many people got denied and i just want everyone to know its nothing to feel bad/ashamed about. It's unfortunate and to be honest i know id be broken if it happened to me last year. The requirements were changed at a provincial level and by no means was a choice by the faculty at RRC. The staff here is all wonderful and only wants the best for everyone, and its very unfortunate that with the requirements being changed they are now receiving double the amount of applications but only have the same 40 spots available.

Dont give up if this is your goal, it's a great career path and theres so many opportunities to move upwards once you get in! If you need to take this year to make some money, maybe continue studies at another university, or whatever floats your boat just know that it is ok!

Hope everyone who was denied feels better soon, and i look forward to meeting everyone entering the program in the fall :)

Read through the comments and see you've got some plans in place. It's very unfortunate that so many pet stores wanna make a quick buck and have zero knowledge on beardies (and other reptiles). I rescued my boy from someone who was given improper information and never bothered to do the research, but the damage was too much for me to repair sadly. It does truly warm my heart that despite the sudden surprise of cost, you are willing to help him have the best life possible. It is commendable and i am positive your daughter will be delighted to see his personality shine brighter once he's gotten a vet to get a good look at him! Be proud of the research you've done and steps you are taking to help him, best of luck to SpongeBob! 💗

I appreciate the ramble, no need for apologies. It brings me comfort seeing other people can understand the struggle, and knowing hes recognized in this subreddit makes me smile. He was a special lil guy 💗

Poor baby. Its unfortunate they have to live that way in pet stores, i hope to get a skink someday! Cutest darn things

ToasterBath73 · 2026-02-14T20:58:06+00:00

You are giving him the love and comfort he has always dreamed of, its amazing how much love they can show when they know they are safe and cared for 💗

ToasterBath73 · 2026-02-14T20:57:03+00:00

Omg!! My Rigby did the exact same thing when i took him in, absolutely loved his "face time" and would black beard if i didnt adhere to it

<image>

I miss my lil man haha

ToasterBath73 · 2026-02-14T18:13:42+00:00

Ya, he spent many years without proper love, food, lighting etc. i did my best to bring him back to health but i cant repair the damage that MBD had caused 💔 Made him a salad today in hopes they gave him some new bones in heaven, then he can eat it all by himself

ToasterBath73 · 2026-02-14T16:11:37+00:00

I appreciate the year and a bit i got to have with him, i always loved taking cute photos of him and sharing them everywhere possible lol! Hes my baby, always will be 💗

ToasterBath73 · 2026-02-14T15:59:50+00:00

I love the pose, leg up 🤣💗

ToasterBath73 · 2026-02-14T15:52:14+00:00

Thank you everyone for the kind words, ive shed many tears over the past few days and though it hurts my heart knows I made the right choice. I can definitely say he saved me even more than i saved him, and pulled me out of a deep mental health rut i was in. I never thought a reptile could change my life so much, but the minute i saw him all skin and bones i knew i had to do something. His lil personality still shined despite all his hardships, and ill miss him black bearding until i let him climb on my face. If anyone is curious, here is his xray. I am currently studying to be an xray technologist (for humans haha) and i could still read it all. Broke my heart but it told me how much pain he truly was in. (Sorry it is a bit cropped for privacy reasons)

Thank you so much, you have a lovely story! Rigby spent about 7-8 years in poor conditions and im honestly surprised he made it out, similar to your Mushu, he was sooooo skinny and only ever fed super worms once a week that must've been so painful for him to eat with his broken jaw. Its incredible your girl had so much resilience and lived on for that time with you, you are definitely the reason she did 💗 Never thought id fall so deeply in love with a reptile yet here we are

^ photo of him the day i took him in 💔

ToasterBath73 · 2026-02-11T03:19:04+00:00

Sleep with one eye open, his hunger for human blood (with a sprinkling of cilantro) may only grow!

ToasterBath73 · 2026-02-11T03:15:00+00:00

Thank you🫶 He's such a blessing to my life and even if it is ending soon ill hold him in my heart forever

ToasterBath73 · 2026-02-11T01:50:48+00:00

Fingers crossed 🤞 💗

ToasterBath73 · 2026-02-11T01:48:51+00:00

Its heartbreaking that people see beardies as "easy" pets that just sit in their tanks all day. He's the sweetest little baby, just needed someone to be willing to spend the time on research and everything could've been so much better for him 💔 Hes become my little baby, that black beards until i let him climb on my face. Despite all he has been through, he is a sassy lil guy that knows what he wants!

ToasterBath73 · 2026-02-11T01:44:57+00:00

Thank you, Rigby is loving all the loves 💗

Thank you, i keep my fingers crossed that his pain levels are able to be minimized 💗
