Hi, I don't think uofa students have to. When I double checked the supplementary application back in may, my final year gpa for both semesters (which was this year) had to have been included in my cumulative gpa calculation ... it's the ONLY way they could have gotten the number they calculated.... so maybe check there for yourself and see if it has been updated (I thought it was really weird for them to use my second semester GPA in calculating my average as it gives me a disadvantage compared to other students like those from Calgary). They also took off scores from one other year in which I did better.

Hi Halo,

 

I am pretty sure they will make more offers shortly. My friend got an offer from UA as an OOP and he will turn it down soon, so it will open up soon. I am rooting for ya!

 

 

do you think they are done giving offers?

I have a question for other waitlisters who have been taken off the waitlist recently (late June/early July) and will be attending U of A.

 

Have you all received your orientation package and schedule already? I have been hearing from other people that classes have been filling up and I don't want to end up with classes at really odd times.

 

Thanks in advance

I've posted the required classes in another thread just down the page ("class schedule" or something), so you should be able to register.

hey everybody, i got in off the wait list about 20 min ago

 

my gpa around 3.8

 

my mcat was 10 12 10 T

 

my extracurics included doing a student group, science fundamentals, safewalk, volunteering at the hospital, some triathlons, nserc research etc.

 

she phoned me to ask if i wanted to stay on the wait list before the offer so i think they have quite a few spots left

 

good luck to everyone else on the waitlist!!!

 

A late super congratulations!

 

I guess I'll have to start reading in the dark more if I want to be the blindest person in the class. :cool:
