Does a status of "Not competitive" mean that the applicant is absolutely not admitted?

Hey, they definitely don't give offers on a first come first serve basis because I literally applied on March 30th and did my interview on May 29th and got an offer on June 28th. Just stay positive and hopeful, spots are still available so you never know.
Hey DOC123doc1,
It would be also helpful if you could post your stats!

Does anyone still have their beartrack saying "this application requires action"? Mine said that because of my final transcript.. I called the school and they said they received my final transcript, but haven't processed/reviewed it, therefore, they haven't sent it to the faculty of pharmacy yet.. getting really worried because people started receiving their offer..
Don't worry too much about it because from last year's thread, someone had the same problem where their transcript was only requested June 9. They still got in though!

Hi all,
I also received my acceptance email earlier today! I had a prereq. GPA of 3.6 and an overall GPA (last 60 credits) of 3.7. I didn't have any work experience in a pharmacy, but did have job shadows and some volunteer work in healthcare.
Good luck to all applicants looking forward to meeting everyone in the Fall.
UAlberta14,
Congrats! When did you do your interview?

Hi Pharm07,
Why do you think there will be 134 people? I thought it has always been 130 people, as their website states.Hi UAlberta14,
Because there seems to be 134 seats available when registering for courses. Perhaps, it's for those who have to repeat the courses? Hopefully someone on this thread could clarify this.
-
Are there 134 people who will get admitted? Because their website says their quota is 130.

How do you know?
I haven't done my interview yet, so they sent me a friendly reminder saying the deadline for the interviews is Friday, June 2.

Hi Pharm07,
Which classes are you referring to?
Hi UAlberta14,
Classes such as PHARM 311, 330A, 347. So basically the ones where "Department Consent" is not required.
-
Are there already those who have been accepted because why are some already registered in the courses that are open? Is it possible to register into the open classes without being admitted?

Hey pharm07!
Just curious - where did you hear that cGPA is weighted equal to pGPA? I was told in Feb by Rae that for this years application cycle, the overall gpa on the last 2 years is weighted slightly above the prerequisite GPA.
Also what do you mean 0 volunteer hours mentioned? We weren't ever asked about hours, do you mean just none listed in general?
Thanks & good luck
Hey UAlberta14!
When I phoned the faculty of Pharmacy at UofA for this year, they told me that both are weighed equally. Perhaps they were not part of the Admissions Committee, so maybe it may not be as accurate!
And I just meant that I did not mention any volunteer experience (I left all of it blank).
Thanks and good luck too!

I still have my interview left as I have been quite anxious about it. Were the questions difficult? Also, when I asked whether or not cGPA>pGPA or vice versa, no preference is given to either (both are taken into account, equally).
My stats (IP) are:
pGPA: 3.6
2 most recent years: 3.7
Highest 30* (this year): 3.8
LOI is decent; however, 0 volunteer hours mentioned.
Good luck to everyone!

Got my rejection letter (July 17).
But congrats to those that got in!
