Pharm1812 Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Can anyone tell me what it says on beartracks when they reject you, currently it says "decision pending"? And do they send out a letter or just notify you through beartracks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiramisuGirl Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 @Pharm1812 Last year, people got an email to their u of a email saying there was a change to their beartracks application status if they were rejected. Your beartracks should say either "not competitive" or "program full" if you're rejected iirc. Unfortunately, the faculty takes a while to begin rejecting applications. It was mid July for me last year. But some people were also admitted early July! Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got accepted today, so please don't lose hope; they are still accepting. I was certain that I was rejected after such long wait. I submitted my transcript very late, just couple days before the deadline. I did my interview on June 1st. As for my stat, my last 2 years GPA 3.89 (Upward trend last few semesters 4.0) Pre req GPA 3.57 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tpip Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Got my acceptance today! I had a low GPA but I think my letter was strong and my interview was decent. pGPA : 3.5 cGPA : 3.55 If you had a lower GPA don't worry too much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PharmStudent_ Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 I also got an acceptance letter today! Out of province and applied after 2 years with a cumulative GPA of 4.0 I thought my LOI was strong and my interview was decent as well. Good luck to the rest of you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franky Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Hello Everyone! I also got an acceptance letter today around 11 am. It was very exciting to see that email after a tiring day at work. I am a first time, in province applicant. I applied after doing two years of the prerequisites. Both of my pGPA and cGPA were around 3.6. I thought my LOI was strong but my interview was okay (I did the interview on May 23rd and was not that confident about it because I messed up one question and had a hard time answering it, the rest was okay though). This forum and the old ones have helped me a lot throughout my application and so if anyone in the future has any questions, I would gladly offer help and answer them with the best of my ability. I am looking forward to seeing you all in the fall and good luck to the rest who are still waiting. Also, good luck to all the future applicants!

Neurosciencegrad Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Would anyone be willing to post their LOI? I’m not sure if I did well or not since I have nothing to compare to.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a very good statement, I am standing with a cGPA of 3.79, pGPA of 3.85, best yr GPA 3.91 and I think my LOI was decent enough, though not very sure about my interview but haven't heard from admission committee yet, so where is my application lacking I can't tell..... this very frustrating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got my acceptance yesterday. Let’s just say that my cGPA was not stellar (not nearly as fabulous as yours). So don’t lose hope!

Yeet420 Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 For people who got their acceptance on Friday, has your deposit fee shown up on beartracks yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UhhhhhhOkay Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 cGPA was 3.43 but pGPA was 3.83... last two years were rough. I went in and talked to the pharmacy advisors, they said that they do not look at your cGPA or pGPA. However, they focus and look at your last two years only. If this information I receive is wrong someone let me know so i can take it down. But yes this is the information that Anjela gave me when I went in to talk to her.

UhhhhhhOkay Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Just now, Yeet420 said: Haha sounds good. Just wanted to make sure there isn't an error! Anjela said it would be 2 to 3 days. No worries! For the applicants who were admitted were you guys given until July 14th to give your final decision and deposit? Is this universal for all applicants, even those from earlier in June?

I know U of A is the least transparent university as concerns their admission process, I will also try and go talk to them so that they can tell me where am lacking in the application, I strongly believe I am competitive for the pharmacy application. Do I need to book an appointment to talk to them or I can just walk in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not believe so, I assume the board has met and has ranked all the applicants. They are slowly rolling out acceptances until all spots are filled. Booking an appoint would only give you a clearer picture of the process and what they are looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm just wondering because i have a 3.75 last 2 years but a lower cumulative of 3.55 because my first year wasn't amazing.. Also feel that my LOI was good and interview was ok. Will apply again next year though if i don't hear anything soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
