Wild Rose Country 1 Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Hey guys. So I was wondering if anyone has received anything from UofA yet? If not, do you know when we should be expecting, and if yes, can you write your stats?

yycpredent 1 Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 Invites typically go out mid-Feb. If anyone is interested in practicing for MMIs, I'm available to meet in-person at the UofC campus or use Skype. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
2020vision 1 Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 Invites went out February 14th last year. Hopefully we will hear something by the end of the week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Coco beans 3 Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 Does every qualified in province student get an interview? It seems like there aren’t too many qualified students applying to the u of a. I wonder if any in province students have interviewed with a 45 DAT score. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not every qualified student gets an interview. I had a 52 DAT score last year and was qualified but got the rejection letter after the interviews were over. I don't exactly know how many of the qualified students get interview honestly but it still needs competitive scores. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had a friend that got an interview with a 3.7 and a 46 DAT last year at UAlberta. Maybe there was something else in your application like courses or transcripts?

Coco beans 3 Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 I was told from admissions that 100-110 students will be interviewed this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Coco beans 3 Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 My friend wasn’t accepted, but he recieved an interview. Considering that the uofa only looks at DAT and GPA, the fact that you did not receive an interview points to something else. I have no clue as to how many students applied. I’m very anxious because I am definitely on the lower end of things with a 3.75 gpa and a 62 DAT. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mightychondria 3 Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 Hey guys! Im an OOP applicant and I received an interview. However I'm not too sure how to calculate my exact GPA.. The university I graduated from in Ontario uses letter grades (A+, A, B+, B, etc..) If I want to convert my GPA to a 4.0 scale would I use the OMSAS conversion or the UofA scale where both an A+ and A=4.0?? Thanks in advance Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks in advance Use the U of A scale of A/A+=4.0, I believe that's how our admission averages are calculated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lollipop 1 Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Hi guys! I was wondering if any of you know if in the u of a dental MMI we’re allowed to take extra time to plan and not enter the room as soon as the buzzer goes off? Are we able to enter the room a minute later just to have enough time to gather our thoughts? If so, would this negatively affect our interview score? thank you!!

Lollipop 1 Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 I was also wondering if any of you know of an MMI prep workshop happening in Edmonton? I would be interested in participating. Last year they had one offered by UAPDS but I couldn’t find any info of one this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
