U of Calgary Degree holder route Winter 2014

World Canada CA Programs

Published

Just wondering if anyone else also applied for the winter 2014 admission to UofCalgary? I am just a little bit scared of not being able to get in, because my first degree was taken on a really part time basis (over 6 years, including a 1.5 year break). And my CGPA was really low (About 2.7). However, after taking another full course at UofT and taking the physiology/anatomy requirement online at Athabasca university, my transfer GPA over the last 5 full courses/10 half courses is about 3.59. So theoretically, I think I should be able to get in. However, i'm wondering if anyone knows how schools look at people who take a really long time to finish undergrad (with a really average GPA) and whether this will affect their chances of admission?...

Any information would be greatly appreciated

Thanks so much to all!

I got in!!

does anyone know if we have to pay a deposit by a certain date? I am nervous because i have not heard anything about that, and i don't want to lose my spot!

Not sure if this is accurate, but the UofC calendar seems to suggest that you'll only lose your registration is fees aren't paid by the Winter term fee deadline at Jan 24th. (link: University of Calgary : Fees Payment Deadlines)

never mind. I called and its 3.35 and they offered all the available seats, 80, already. So everyone who is not admitted, like me, are on the hold list.

I haven't checked lately but I just received the big red x on myuofc tonight so I guess it doesn't matter anymore. It only really bothers me that they took this long :(

Oh well, I just hope UBC accepts me >.

Has anyone gotten any book lists or any emails regarding the start of the program? I have not and I am beginning to get a little worried.

No book lists or anything, but I got a huge registration package in the mail (immunization requirements, background check, CPR courses, and everything). Did you get that? They said there is a orientation session on January 7th.

For the books, I went to UofC bookstore site and they had a list on there. Here is the website: University of Calgary Bookstore
