PastaInhaler Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Hello I ended up with a six year undergrad, and 2 year degree after that, then am doing a special year. first undergrad was horrible. now the 2 year was better, but not good enough, one year was good, if i am to succeed in the special year, is my only hope UWO, or will i even be allowed to apply? e.g. Second Degree, First Year..............3.75 Second Degree, Second Year..........3.20 Special Year................................3.80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PastaInhaler Posted January 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 What is a "special year"? I don't really know. More or less, if someone has a degree already, he/she can go to do an extra year of undergrad to raise the GPA for application at UWO. Some restrictions though, courses must be upper year courses.

nwhyte3 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 I'm pretty sure a "special year" is when you choose not to graduate and do a 5th year of a 4 year degree. I hope your degree is a 4 year honours degree, because I'm pretty sure thats the only one they would look at. Also, they just changed the rule and now if you take extra years you must be in the final year of your new degree in order for those marks to count towards GPA. Overall its unlikely you will get in, sorry but they only want 4 year honors undergrad degrees with 3.75+ GPA in best 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PastaInhaler Posted January 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Was your second degree an honors degree? No, it was not an honors degree, just a 2 year bachelor's degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classA Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Then you cannot use it for Western. Has to be honors. Even if you have another honors degree previously, since they do not mix and match degree gpa's. So I think your out of luck with Western. They are very strict with the honors degree requirment.
