University of Calgary Nursing Transfer January 2017

Published

I applied to the U of C Winter 2017 program! I took the Athabasca University A/P course and haven't done well in it due to some family health issues that have taken most of my time. It is strange for me as that course comes in way below what i am used to getting. I have a 89.46 major average at the University of Waterloo. Unfortunately due to the uniqueness of my program there, most of those high average courses wont transfer and they will probably end up taking my lowest marks. I am really confused about how they calculate averages though. I know that an 80-84 is a 3.7 but then it drops to 77-79.9 is a 3.3. So how do we know what is in between that? Also i have courses transferring from an exchange in Australia but they wont tell me what they translate to in my GPA. I think that i am actually about to go crazy from the anxiety that i feel not knowing these things! It is 1 am and i am frantically searching for answers when i work at 4 am. Can anyone help me out? Also when i called they told me that the cutoff is 3.07 BUT that the faculty will release a higher one later on. Good luck everyone! :)

Hi nt122, I also applied as a transfer and was actually going to comment the same cause I noticed most are degree holders. Curious to know as well

Hey reactiv, I applied with a 3.50 gpa. Hopefully that's enough to get in! Do you mind me asking what your gpa was?

I have a 3.59 GPA, and I've been put on the waitlist until they lower the GPA! I applied to the degree holder route

From my calculations of my last 10 courses it says I have a 3.71, so I thought I would know soon too?? But I'm wondering what's the hold up

Those who have already been notified are told they have 30 days to accept. They are probably waiting for the last 30th day of the last person notified to accept/decline. Does that make sense? haha kind of hard to word it smoothly. For example, I found out on September 15th, so October 15th would be the last day for me to accept/decline.

Maybe it will take until the last week of October until they start going through those that are currently on hold?

Hey guys! Applied via the degree holder route with a 3.45... I got accepted to bow valley, but anxiously waiting on u of c. Any word on what they're accepting currently. Also, I am curious as to how people were accepted prior to sept 31st as transcripts were due on the 31st? Sending positive vibes to everyone!

@ reactiv I would call. You should have heard by now and they will at least be able to give you some insight into what's going on. Best of luck!

I am a degree holder and have a >3.7 GPA. Haven't heard anything back yet. Did email admissions, so hopefully I will hear back soon! Fingers crossed. Congrats to everyone who did get accepted already!

@rkpater, please call. it will help. My sis just called yesterday and got the green mark today. she had a 3.6 from her calculation. Has anyone successfully applied for loans? I have applied and waiting for response. How long does it take to be processed? I am applying from Calgary. I have booked appointment for immunizations.

Just to clarify, I read in the post that we are to register for 3terms? did I read well? are we to register for 3 terms at once or just a term (4 courses) at a time? Someone pls clarify. I am new in this part of the world...

For those still expecting their green marks, pls hang in there. best wishes

I tried to call yesterday to figure out at what gpa they are at now, but got an answering machine. Which number are you referring to?
