Old GPA for OOP

[Guest Screedawg]

hi there,

 

I am just starting my BSc, returning to school after a very long absence...17 years to be precise. After HS, I received a 2 Year diploma in Computer Information Systems, and have been working ever since. I was educated in BC, spent most of my working life in Calgary, and recently returned to BC.

 

Obviously, I have a number of years of study and personal reflection to go before I can even begin to consider an application into med school. However, assuming that I achieve all the required prereqs, I would like to apply to UBC and UofC, UBC because I am a BC resident, UofC because I have a large support system in Calgary (friends, colleagues, familiarity, etc).

 

A post in another thread suggested that in addition to the 2 best year's GPA, UofC will also weight ALL previous courses, likely bringing down the total GPA below the cutoff for OOP applicants. I know that UBC will not consider anything older than 10 years...does UofC actually factor in GPA from that long ago, considering that a) they are from a completely different field of study, and the courses in question were not university transferrable anyway, at least not during the time period I took them.

 

Any comments would be appreciated...

I was just walking by the Libin Lecture Theatre and you can hear the class of 2005 all the way from the security desk. Everyone seems so excited. The 2nd year class (2004) is preparing lots of stuff for you guys! Congratulations to everyone! Have a great year.
