1. U of A after-degree vs Grant Mac 4 year - any advice?

   Mrs_Mack replied to molls's topic in International

   I think the After Degree program is largely what you make of it. I think there are ups and downs in any program and this one is no exception; however for me, being done that much faster makes it 100% worth it. I am working through the program right ...

2. RBC student line of credit, did you get one?

   Mrs_Mack replied to Sugar-Phosphate's topic in International

   Without knowing your full credit history I can't make a good guess about what your chances are. That being said, I obtained an RBC student line of credit with no problem, without a cosigner. I don't currently have a job and I own a condo. The way th...

3. British Columbia- Are there any areas with affordable housing?

   Mrs_Mack replied to canadanewgrad's topic in International

   Are you willing to work in a smaller community within 30-1h outside those major cities? If so, there are slightly more affordable housing options in places like Duncan, Squamish, Vernon, etc.

4. UofA Admission requirements

   Mrs_Mack replied to zepher's topic in International

   From the UofA website, it says they calculate your Admission GPA from your last two terms of study, so for most people that's probably about the last 30 credits. I know for the last few application cycles the AGPA cutoff to receive Early admission ha...

5. UofA Nursing students: 2010-2011

   Mrs_Mack replied to Mrs_Mack's topic in International

   I believe it is somewhat competitive. The UofA website has a link for statistics on its Registrar page where you can look up the number of applicants and number accepted for in province, out of province, etc. My tip would be to apply as early as poss...

6. UofA Nursing students: 2010-2011

   Mrs_Mack replied to Mrs_Mack's topic in International

   Hey Percy, I talked to the student advisor for Nursing way back in April/May and she said they probably won't start sending out acceptance letters until 'late summer' so you're probably fine. You could call her and ask if you're unsure though; she s...

7. UofA Nursing students: 2010-2011

   Mrs_Mack replied to Mrs_Mack's topic in International

   This exactly. I totally agree. During my undergrad we had a few courses structured like CBL and I found it so much more interesting to research subjects and also much easier to remember the 'scenario' versus strict memorization. Did you find admiss...

8. UofA Nursing students: 2010-2011

   Mrs_Mack posted a topic in International

   Has anyone else received their acceptance to UofA nursing yet? I got my letter a few months ago for the After Degree program starting in January and I'm pretty excited. I'm moving to Edmonton from Victoria and really looking forward to a change of p...

9. Early Admission for University of Alberta

   Mrs_Mack replied to Mrs_Mack's topic in CA Programs

   Hey thanks very much for the reply. My gpa wasn't 4.33 that's just the scale it was graded on. My actual transfer gpa is what I was trying to figure out because I know they look at the last 24 credits for the transfer agpa, and I think I had 1 A+, 5...

10. Early Admission for University of Alberta

    Mrs_Mack replied to Mrs_Mack's topic in CA Programs

    Surely all students coming out of University of Alberta aren't bad; that seems a bit unlikely considering it's the largest nursing school in the country. I'm considering it because they offer the 2 year after degree program. I'm also considering Uof...

11. Early Admission for University of Alberta

    Mrs_Mack posted a topic in CA Programs

    Does anyone know how long the University of Alberta takes to send out admission letters to the After Degree Nursing program? I applied to the Winter 2011 session so I'm just wondering when they give out Early Admission so I can stop worrying about it...
