Jamer Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 This question is for my friend, not for me. My friend is in 3rd year and he was given an interview at U of A this year. He's doing badly in 1 course this semester and he wants to drop it. However, this would give him 87 total credits by the end of this semester, one short of officially completing 3 years. Would my friend then be considered a 2nd year applicant once his final transcripts came in? If they were given admission, would it be retracted? Anyone know for sure?

Haha, while I agree to an extent, this isn't me and it isn't my choice--I'm just trying to give them a straight forward answer. I'll call on Monday if I don't have an answer by then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jochi1543 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 ..................... But returning to the topic, I agree with terryann. Get it straight from the horse's mouth... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamer Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Oh, and in case anyone thinks this is me (it almost looks like meme me does...if not, I apologize), I'm a 4th year. I wouldn't drop a course because I want to graduate if nothing else, haha. This is really about someone else, not that it really matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wut? Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 2/3 years are in the same admissions pool. I'm not certain what the Faculty's requirements are with respects to full time semesters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jochi1543 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 2/3 years are in the same admissions pool. Are you sure? Because they are shown separately in the "statistics" section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure which stats you're looking at. Um that link you posted shows the 2/3years in the same pool. How are they seperate?? Maybe i'm stupid but I see: 4 years and then 2/3years. Where are you looking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
