Kines. Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Yes. I had the exact same situation. My GPA ended up being a composite of my 2nd and 3rd years. My 4th year GPA was only used at the end to confirm I hadn't fallen off the wagon (i.e. maintained my grades). I asked about this and they confirmed as well, dropped my first year, calculated 2nd and 3rd. So that 3.5 should be non-consequential at UofA.

sparkles3288 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Interesting. I had always thought they dropped your lowest year if you had four years ie: a degree or whatnot. I didn't think they dropped it if you only had three years under you. Glad to have clarified I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kines. Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Yea, the way she explained it to me, I was told they will drop your lowest year if you have 4 years of school by the time you are supposed to start in med school so if you apply during your 4th year, you are a 4 year applicant.

Wut? Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Thanks Kines! So if you got in (I'm assuming you did?) was there a minimum cut-off given for the fourth year's final GPA? Kines is in the 3rd year class. I believe the cutoff is a 3.3? Correct me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kines. Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Kines is in the 3rd year class. I believe the cutoff is a 3.3? Correct me if I'm wrong. From the UGME website: The applicant profiles are made up of: 1. The minimum GPA requirement for applicants with four or more years of post-secondary transferable course work is 3.3 for Alberta residents, 3.5 for non-Alberta residents on the University of Alberta 4-point scale. Minimum grade requirement for two and three year applicants is 3.7. Yes I did get in...I'm in the first year class, starting this fall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kungfupanda17 Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 I know calgary tells their breakdown for the 4.0 scale, and ontario schools use that OMSAS conversion table. What does Alberta use? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
