sv3 Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Anyone know why Alberta likes to get up all in your business? I don't get why they ask which other schools you are applying to or where your parents live (nevermind asking where each one lives if they do not live together.......wtf?) Isn't asking for all the pre-reqs enough for them, now they gotto get their stalker routine on......not cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sv3 Posted October 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 I thought they dropped the pre-reqs this year... i don't think they did - I just signed up for English. I think they might have dropped the pre-req average Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostLamb Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 The pre-reqs still exist but there is no weighting of a pre-req GPA during this applicant cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatonekid Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Another school asked where my parents live...I think it was northern(?) Maybe they want to keep tabs on your parents. They've got Google Earth & Street now, and the picture is really clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jochi1543 Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 The reason they ask is to identify rural applicants and keep stats on low SES applicants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SES? well they ask about where an applicant has lived their entire life as well. Not sure where the parents info comes into play. Just seemed odd.

yeeha Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Socioeconomic status. I wonder if my chances of getting in would be higher if my parents lived in a posh area. If it's about rural status, I wonder if I should put where my father grew up rather than where they live right now. He use to live in a rural area and then they moved to the 'city' to raise us. But,we still spent every summer on the farm... I have an interest in rural medicine, but I don't quite fall into U of A's rural status... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
