Congratulations on your admission. What was your AGPA? I have 3.4 and I haven't heard from them :nailbiting:

I got in!!! My AGPA was just a bit over 3.5

Good luck â˜º

Congratulations! !

Can I ask a question?

Is your degree international or from Canada?

Mine is international and I'm afraid it could affect admission decision

Nursing advisor said it takes mre time to evaluate international degree.

My gpa is a bit over 3.6 and applied way early but still pending.

I'm hopeless now I don'tknow what went wrong.

Am I missing something?

Does any body else know any news?

Hi I found out I was accepted about three days ago. I applied mid February and my gpa was just around a 3.7. I graduated from U of A but did some courses at Macewan. I felt like I waited forever!

Good Luck to everyone!

My degree was from Alberta but I got my acceptance email the day after my final transcript was entered. Don't be too discouraged, the document deadline has just passed and when I was picking classes they were only about 65% full. I imagine they can't drop the acceptance AGPA until they have everyone's final grades entered and my final grades were only entered Wednesday.

Candice, did you ever hear back from them? I want to apply for next year but am not sure how it will work with a US degree. I will apply to U of A and the US for the one year Accelerated BSN or Accelerated MSN.

Let me know how everything turned out for you:)

Hi there!

my status is still pending.

I tried to contact those at the nursing office but no one was there.

I don't have any helpful info except for my online status.

What is frustrating is the real reason that I 'm not qualified (age or degree or else).

I even got to think that they guess my age (39@@) is not competitive compared to other 20's or early 30s applicants or my degree is statistics (not bio)

I 'm very sorry that I can't give you tips that are helpful for you.

I only applied to U of A so my chances were slim.

But if you try with more options, good luck with you next year.

I got accepted today! The wait was brutal, I almost gave up.

Just got my acceptance today!!! :)

Now I just have to get all my Health and Safety Requirements in!!

The wait was brutal, but now I am stoked to start !!!

For those of you that have been accepted, what is your vaccination "status"? I found out a few days ago I got accepted but I think i will need all 3 Hep B vaccinations but the dosing schedule is 1 month between Dose 1 and 2, and then wait another 5 months between Dose 2 and Dose 3. At this rate, I don't think I would have all three done in time for the clinical course. Does anyone have any insight as to whether or not they will make some allowance for students who have had 2 out of the 3 doses?
