University of Calgary, January 2020

[Seraina2020]

Hello, I’m applying for the U of C degrees holder route for January 2020. Just want to say hi to other applicants. I applied on July 2nd and have not got any update on my application.

I just checked my current admission decision and it says I've been waitlisted.

[Samuel Nsi]

Wow. Please what's your CGPA? If you don't mind to share

[jemeyer]

3.57, I know a girl who got in with a lower GPA last year, so I'm still hopeful

[Samuel Nsi]

Thanks for sharing. Yes, we stay hopeful. But its not hard.

Hello everyone

Please can someone suggest about 4courses which I can take at athabasca to guarantee good grades to boost my gpa against next session. I have very little hope of getting in this year.

Thanks

Jemeyer, did they give any additional info like how far down the wait list, when to expect to hear more etc?

I knew I was on the waitlist because I checked my application status online through the ucalgary portal. However, I did call admissions yesterday and they said it isn't like a numerical waitlist where they take one person off at a time. They take blocks of people off the waitlist at a time based on GPA range. Currently they're still evaluating applications, so if you haven't been put on the waitlist or accepted, they haven't gotten to your application yet. They have 78 spots for the degree holder route, and they've sent out around 20 offers and have gone through about half of the applicants. Right now they are accepting 3.67 and above. The lady I spoke with said around the end of October, into November is when I can expect to hear back if I get the good news.
