Mount Royal University Nursing - Sept. 2012

Novo · Mar 28, 2012

I've applied but still waiting on my applications they said end of April. I'm so nervous it's killing me since apparently I dint meet the early acceptance GPA.

I just checked again today it says "waitlist" instead of pending.

What exactly does that mean does anyone know?

The website says this regarding waitlists:

[TABLE]

[TD][/TD]

[TD]Your chance of being admitted off of a waitlist into your intended program at Mount Royal will depend on a number of factors including your position on the waitlist and how quickly that waitlist moves. Some program waitlists tend to move faster than others and the number of students we accept into each program varies. A space may become available if another applicant does not accept our offer of admission, doesn’t complete their admission requirements by the deadline provided, or decides not to attend. You may be offered admission into your waitlisted program at any time throughout the admission cycle and up until classes begin. Waitlists can move substantially throughout the admission cycle.

We were told we had to pay our deposit by March 31 to reserve our spot, so I imagine there could be a big move next week.

Hey Lolo5,

my gpa was pretty high but im still doing 3 winter courses that won't be done untill the end of april or mid may. do you think thats why i got waitlisted?

and is there a way to find out what spot i am on the wait list

You could try contacting the Nursing Academic Advisors? They may be able to give you an idea. Are you from Alberta or Calgary? Maybe they give preference to Albertans? I have no idea how this whole process works.

I called them this morning and asked why I was waitlisted. They said the program was at capacity and I asked her if it was because my GPA was low she said no. I'm kinda confused as to why I was waitlisted my GPA is high but she said they're compiling a list and that ill get a letter.

So apparently the GPA this year was 3.85. That's insanely high but I don't think I should be far off the waitlist since im at a 3.73. Gah im so worried.

Lolo55 · Apr 3, 2012

That is ridiculously high! I can't believe that they would have enough people applying with such a high GPA that people with a 3.73 would get wait listed! How did you find this out?

Novo · Apr 3, 2012

I called admissions this morning and the advisor said it was extremely high this year (3.85). I asked her about my gpa and she said it was 3.73 on my last 4 courses. If you don't mind me asking what was your gpa?

Lolo55 · Apr 3, 2012

Well if they only used the last 4 classes to calculate GPA then I would have a 3.91

Novo · Apr 3, 2012

Okay that's probably why you got accepted then. UGH I guess it was a bad idea to take anatomy and stats/micro in one semester that brought my gpa down quite abit.
