University of Alberta Acceptance are out

[herragge]

Are you IP or OOP herrage?

Also do you mind sharing your stats?

 

Hey Roko,

 

I am in IP applicant. My stats are 3.9 prereq, 3.7 cum, 29(MD), 20(PAT), 19(RC).

 

I know last year me and my friends asked about the waitlist and the admissions advisors said that there aren't that many on the list. I wonder if they will inform me of my position on the list. I'll phone them now.

 

If anyone else is waitlisted, posting your stats would be helpful for everyone.

 

Cheers

Congrats on your acceptance!

 

I am OOP and have not heard anything yet. Did your status on Beartracks change?

wow herrage your stats are really good for being waitlisted. This year seems super competetive lol.

Thanks Sama. I am hoping for the best and I hope that I am high on the wait list. I know there is at least one person who will not be accepting, I'm sure there will be more.

 

I believe it was Chris Grant; she had said that both acceptance and rejection letters went out at the same time. But it doesn't seem like anyone has gotten rejection letters yet. Leads me to believe that they did what they did last year; give acceptances first and then rejection letters.

 

I hope for the best for all the prospective students. Wish me luck too! haha

[ABdental]

good luck to all!^^

UofA rounds up the last digit of GPA? Everyone seems to use only one digit...

 

 

Roko, no they use two digits to calculate your GPA.

rejection

I'm in GTA

oh well

Hey i'm also on the alternate list; the admissions secretary wouldn't give an estimate on the number of waitlisters- apparently it's confidential:confused:

 

A specialist who interviewed applicants for many years informed me that few are put on the list sometimes only 1-2. But from this forum it seems like there could be 5-10.

 

4 years

In-province

cgpa: 3.85

pgpa: 3.86

[dchung42]

For those who were accepted, did your letter come with a Medical Clearance Form?

[PintApples]

Hi guys,

 

I also got waitlisted. There were 100 interview offers sent right? So there could potentially be 60 people on the waitlist

 

Anyway I'm OOP, GPA is 82% I think for both, and 20/25/24 and 24 for interview.

Probably not that high on the list.

[lquddusi]

how are your other stats, lquddusi?

 

 

pretty brutal dat scores 23/18/17, and i didn't ask for interview scores - i'm pretty sure it went well.

what about you roko?

[seabreeze]

I have a question for others that got accepted...what are you doing for housing arrangements? I didn't apply early for residence just because for something like dentistry you really don't know your odds of getting into the program and assumed they'd have some sort of reserved spots for dentistry students but apparently not?

Hey everyone I talked to Chris today and she said the GPA this year is 3.8. If you don't have that you're not in. Good luck!

[Poppy]

Hey everyone I talked to Chris today and she said the GPA this year is 3.8. If you don't have that you're not in. Good luck!

 

On the U of A's site from last year and the previous year it showed the range as being 3.6-4.0 for those who were accepted. Do you mean the range has now changed to 3.8-4.0?!?! Did you get any more info from Chris such as averages ect?

[ABdental]

Hey everyone I talked to Chris today and she said the GPA this year is 3.8. If you don't have that you're not in. Good luck!

 

Minimum 3.8?! FML

[sama951]

its not a minimum 3.8, that's probably the average

[kooldc]

yeah i mentioned that the lowest GPA accepted last year was 3.6 and she said that the person must have gotten a 4.0 for the "other" (I'm assuming she was referring to the pre-req GPA) and that person must also have a perfect interview score as well as a really, really high DAT score.

[sama951]

are you like a troll or something?

 

i know someone in DS there right now whose gpa was in the mid to high 3.6s for both overall and pre req, and the person did not have above average DAT scores either

 

oh and im waitlisted without 3.8s, maybe not very high on the waitlist but still waitlisted lol

Care to share you stats with us Sama?

[mashmashmaro]

I'm with sama on this one. I know of someone who just got accepted that did not have a 3.8 either. And im waitlisted too without a 3.8 haha

 

I've also heard theres only about 5 people placed on the alternate list. Good luck to all =)
