I am just finishing up my prereqs this semester and will have everything ready to go after I get my marks back from finals in a few weeks. I am excited/nervous! I am 24 and have been working at an eye surgery office for the past almost 4 years so have lots of hours to apply with. I feel old...! But I know in the big picture life is just beginning! Anybody else applying for the January 2016 intake? Or has anyone applied before and have any tips?
Do you guys know if they calculate your gpa based on the Math, chem, Eng and Bio pre reqs or if they use your post secondary gpa? Because my gpa for the high school courses is 3.7 based on a calculator I used on the UFV website.
Your GPA is based on your pre-reqs. So English 12, Bio 12, Chem 11 and Math 11. If you have taken a these courses at a uni level i.e. Eng105 and your mark is better, I believe they will look at that instead. They would likely look at whatever mark was higher and base it that way. I am not 100% sure on that so it may be worth sending an email.
This is my second time applying and last year due to less GPA I didn't even make it up to orientation.but then I upgraded biology 12 and finally I attended orientation last Tuesday. I am eagerly waiting for interview now as well.
