Hey guys, I'm currently in semester 1 and I know how all of you feel while waiting for the decisions. We found out about a week earlier than we had expected. Good luck to all of you!

Did anyone else apply to VIU?

TeeeS · Apr 20, 2016

I applied to VIU. Was not accepted unfortunately. I applied while I was upgrading two of my courses then sent in my interm grades. I had all A's but then it goes to the date of application completion. I heard other students got accepted on VIUs wait list as well.

I didn't get accepted or wait listed because my marks were not high enough (I also had all A's) It must have been crazy competitive this year. If I remember correctly I think I applied close to the deadline so that may also have something to do with it. I was just curious to see what the grade averages were like of the people who got accepted! I was told everyone who got in had A+'s but I would be interested to know the actual percentages in case I don't get into UFV and have to try again next year.

Hey, that is very shocking you didn't get in with all A's what were your exact percentages if you don't mind me asking

I have 92% in English, Math and Biology and 95% in Chemistry. Must have just been a crazy competitive intake!

Jsandhu12 · Apr 21, 2016

That is crazy. I would email them back I do know some people that got in with lower percentages and you say you didn't even make it on the waitlist. I don't know anyone with 95+ in each course.

But don't loose hope I got accepted with3 A's and 1 B at UFV. I have heard UFV has one of the best programs in the Fraser valley. Second after BCIT.

LindseyT · Apr 21, 2016

I did email them and they basically just said I would have to go back and try to get higher grades in the courses if I wanted to try again. They also suggested that I apply earlier next time, so that may have had something to do with why I didn't make the the wait list either. I'm trying to stay optimistic about UFV but this is definitely discouraged me about my academics a little bit.

Don't be discouraged, UFV doesn't look at your percentages remember? They're a grade-based point system. If you have all A's you get 16 points for academics.

Jsandhu12 · Apr 21, 2016

That's ridiculous I know people who got in with lower percentages and I don't understand how applying earlier helps as long as you meet the deadline. Isnt it after the deadline they start checking applications.
