Btw Quartz, how many lecture and workshop hours per week do we have for the first term?

Walk 20 min in Calgary's winter...I need to order some extra feet from ebay:coldfeet:

How far is the nursing department away from the skytrain station?

Hi fingers_crossed, I'm pretty sure it's just a "typo" by the system lol. I think most of us haven't got an offer yet, because the faculty admission officer is still out of town. She should be back this weekend.

That's the possibility I considered...

Mine just changed to "...awaiting a Faculty decision."0.0

Any status updates?

Thanks for the info Quartz. Looking forward to seeing you in class:)

Btw Quartz, do you know if the admission decision is solely based on gpa? And do you mind sharing your gpa for your last 10 half courses?

WOW, BIG CONGRATZ! Mine is still to be evaluated...

I finally picked up the phone and called the admission office. They changed my status to completed a few seconds later lol... Seems like phone still speaks louder than Email does:p

Any updates on application status?

Wow...that's unbelievably fast. In fact I received an Email from the nursing department a few days ago saying the earliest offer won't go out until late Oct. It seems now some of us may get offers sooner than that. As for myself, not only the status ...

So glad that a post is finally created specifically for the winter 2015 intake of BNDH!

Sorry I didn't see that you've already done the readings for physiology. Now you can definitely go for the challenge test for Bio 230/235 at Athabasca U.

The Sep 30 deadline is for U of C. I'll suggest you to call the program advisor or enrollment service and ask if they can allow you to complete physiology in Sep. Don't forget to tell them you will take the course at Athabasca U. Good luck!

Degree-holder's route is better for you, since you've already completed a BSc. Also, you may want to consider Western U, since its admission process is very similar to that of U of C.

Go check Athabasca U. All courses are self-paced, so theoretically you can complete it within 2 weeks. However, it will be extremely hard to get a decent grade in such a demanding course, if you have no prior knowledge of physiology. Btw, Athabasca U...

Yep, hopefully we can get early offers! I heard the admission decision is solely based on most recent 30-credit gpa. Is it true? Do you know what the class size is?

I submitted mine in early July as well. I am still taking one English course and will hopefully be able to send out the final transcript by mid-August. It seems U of C is doing rolling admissions as someone got an offer as early as September 20's, wh...

Hi finger_crossed, I've also applied to Calgary degree-holder's route. Heard anything back yet?

Hey! I got an 3.89 cgpa for my last 60 credits (10 full-course equivalent) according to OMSAS 2014. How will Western convert it into a specific percentage, since OMSAS only provides a range of percentage for each OMSAS value? Thank you.
