Honestly you dodged a bullet! I’ve heard terrible things in terms of UOttawa nursing. It’s unorganized and horribly structured. I wouldn’t want to endure this through nursing school. Nursing school is already difficult to begin with. Don’t need added stress! wishing you all the best!!

It’s probably them just now getting to your application and reviewing it to see if they can offer you admission but they haven’t made a final decision. fingers crossed you get in ?

Congrats! May I ask what is your GPA? And also are you internal transfer(current u of c student) or external student?

has any internal transfer student from u of c gotten an offer yet? if so mind sharing your GPA as well.

yeah they usually start by admitting 3.8's then work down the list. surprised they're at 3.71 this early. anyways lets pray and hope for the best!!

I hope COVID works in our favour and discourages people in accepting their offers and hopefully not a lot of people applied. since its this early and people with 3.7 are being accepted im very optimistic. usually in mid/end September 3.7's get accepted but I saw someone with 3.71 get accepted. I think the application pool is lower and also maybe with the COVID pandemic more seats will open because of even more demand since the UCP was supposed to cut nursing jobs but COVID kinda stopped it.

wait so you are a currently u of c student or...? not following you mentioned transcript yeah I am a current u of c student doing the change of program. I wonder how many seats they have this year. usually the have about 20-25. wondering if COVID or the UCP impacted this

any change of program (internal u of calgary) students here?

Exactly! Everyone above 3.7 is basically guaranteed

Just a disclaimer, Degree route and transfer route are different with each their own GPA cut off so just because someone from the degree route got in with a 3.7 doesn’t necessarily mean you will. There are more seats for degree route than transfer.

You deleted your follow up comment but they don’t use the nursing undergraduate one. That’s for if you’re admitted into nursing and are taking nursing courses. They use the other one. They weigh your mark with the official university of Calgary standards. The one above this comment with the TD mortgage ad is what they’ll use!

This question has been answered in previous forums for each admitting cycle at u of c. Refer to that or just contact the u of c office when you apply and they can tell you your GPA.

I would honestly assume it’s less complétive bc no out of province and also no international. On top of that students are deferring their admissions and choosing to take time off from school because of COVID.

I wonder how COVID will affect admissions for nursing students who are transfers as well as degree holders. Degree holder routes are more competitive. There are usually 25 seats reserved for university of calgary students transfers. With COVID and many students not knowing if they will be in Canada or even in the mind state to do school online, I am assuming many students will push their admissions to next fall. Has someone contacted admissions office to follow up on how COVID will impact seats?

Hey, got rejected this morning with a 3.44 GPA. I am a transfer student. So if anyone has a gpa less than me and is tired of waiting, sorry to be the bearer of bad news
