Class expansion

[Ryan]

Does anyone have any solid information on the expansion of the U of A class size for this September? i.e., from what size to what size and where did you find the info?

 

Calgary has a big press release on their admissions website advertising the expansion to 180 seats, but I can't find anything like that for Alberta. I know on interview day they mentioned a possible expansion. (Or was it definite? I can't remember.)

 

In any case, this is my first post to these forums, so hi everyone. Can't wait for May 15th...

Hey! I noticed that on the UofC website as well.

 

UofA was supposed to find out at about the same time as UofC as I think the pool of money is from the same source. It definitely wasn't completely confirmed at the interviews.... so I have been looking for a similar press release from UofA... haven't seen a thing!

SOunded pretty confirmed at my interview...

[Jamer]

It's not official until the government says it's official. Odds are they're going to get the same funding U of C does though, so I'd bet on the class size increasing.

Well, whether it is official or not, does anyone remember what the class size would hypothetically be expanded to?

i think they were saying 180... but the dean seem hesitant in making it that large ... I am not sure though... also what is the class size now?

I remember the Dean saying 180 during the talk at the interviews for UofA... slip of the tongue, perhaps?

180 was a number quoted without any promises of over how many years this would be achieved.

 

Current class size is 158 I believe. Add roughly 30 dentists to the class if you are trying to figure out the seats occupied in the lecture hall.

i am surprised no one started a countdown thread for UofA

Dr. Begnal said 188. I am guessing that is max capacity.

 

I guess we might find out on Friday.
