University of Alberta Nursing After Degree 2015

eatyurmakeup · May 9, 2015

Last year the intake was around 150. The GPA cutoff was initially 3.5, but they lowered it to 3.2. I've heard its 3.5 again this year, no plans to lower it, but I need to emphasize that this is just what I've heard. The program staff will tell you if you call and ask, I found them really helpful during that nerve-wracking admission process! Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have about the program!

For those who got accepted,..

When did you guys apply with final transcripts?

So nerve wracking...

The application deadline was May 1st, so all applicants must have submitted the application before the application deadline. Some applicants might have submitted all the grades before then if they have all the requirements met and are confident with their AGPA. However, the document deadline is June 30th, meaning that there is still time for people to submit their grades, which also means that the admissions team is very likely to still be processing many of the applications. I believe the processing time varies for each application. But to obtain more accurate information, I would suggest that you talk to the faculty about your application.

I am sending in my transcripts on Tuesday! I am from Yukon though. Does anyone know what the ratio of albertans to non-albertans applicant acceptance is? That has been my biggest issue i am running into! I applied to Dalhousie in Nova Scotia but since I'm not a martini we they only take 10% non martimers is it that low in UVA? I have a 3.72 gpa

My application is just waiting for confirmation of the Med Micro pre-req course, which I just finished through Athabasca U. So when my final transcript gets send from AU, I should hear if accepted.

My application status was just updated, they are just now asking for my official transcript from Macewan (I did my degree at U of A but took more classes at Macewan). However I am still finishing Med Micro there, I was told by an advisor that the course would be graded on time for my transcript to make the document deadline but the woman in the transcript office said she doubts it will... Might be re-applying next year unless the U of A gives me a day or two extension on that course.

Congrats to all those got accepted! And for all those waiting, I hope you get in! I was hoping to start a Facebook group for the Class of 2017. Let me know if any of you guys would be interested. If so, please message me your email/facebook name so I can add you to the group.

I am under "admission pending" for 3 weeks.

I called the faculty admission office, the person was not being helpful at all. Said she can't discuss information about GPA cutoff, or not even a rough estimate of when I will likely hear back. Didn't tell me anything insightful except that the offers will be made on an continuous basis up until the end of August.

I called the faculty admission officer, *********** To anyone who contacted the school, is this a normal response?

Not having any information on my current status, the wait is killing me.

Anyone out there still waiting to heard back from the school at this late point in time?

Have you heard back from Alberta yet, Candice?

I applied Feb 6. I had to call the Reg office to follow up on my transcripts and they didn't get it until a few days ago (OMG). That said, I did just finish my prereqs (anat, physio, & MMI) last April. I called Reg office again today because it now says on my bear tracks "Decision Pending". I can never seem to get a hold of anyone on the Undergrad Nursing Dept. so I don't know what the status of my application is, considering that I've waited so long. My AGPA is 3.72 and I'm worried that because of the length of the process so far, at least for my application, the quota would be filled. :no: Is that how it works? They take all the applications that are completed first and meet the cutoff to fill their seats? Im so stressed!

@enzhou @jamay 10

First of all, my status is still pending

I also applied so looooooong ago in January.

my ielts score was lastly updated May 1.

I'm tired of waiting and checking beartrack.

Did you guys apply only u of a? Or else?

one day I was hopeful the other day hopeless..

I know what you are feeling.

Crossed fingers for those waiting. .

Lately I started to think other options like Lpn.

Cheer up for everybody..

I applied to Alberta and few schools in Ontario. Also Calgary, but they take students in Jan. Albert is my top choice. My Ontario school offers are bout to expire. I may have to plan on sticking with Humber college. I'll be cooked if decline my other offers and both Alberta and Calgary don't take me

Time is running out... :crying2:
