Question about "Maintenance of an overall GPA of 3.40 or greater"

[mcmac]

Hey guys,

I am going to be applying to the University of Calgary this cycle. I am located outside of the province. 

I recently came across the below information on the U of Calgary med school website:

Admission to the MD program upon completion of the undergraduate degree is conditional upon the following:

"Maintenance of an overall GPA of 3.40 or greater over the course of their undergraduate studies" 

In my first year of university I was enrolled in a few courses as a part-time student. My GPA was below 3.40. I enrolled in full-time studies after year 1 and consistently earned a GPA that is above 3.80

Given my lousy GPA in year 1 as a part-time student, will this make me ineligible to apply?

Thank-you

This is an average, not at each point along the studies. 

 

Cheers

Thank-you for replying. I was under the impression that applicants applying from OUTSIDE of the province are required to have a 3.8 GPA (minimum). I wonder if the 3.4 requirement is an overall minimum average that is required for IP applicants only?

This year, the cumulative requirement was 3.8 for OOP and 3.2 for IP.

Pretty sure your part time year wouldnt count for anything unless you took 24 credits?
