Last two years GPA

[LLAV]

I was wondering does Dal look at the best two years or only the last two years??

Is it possible to request for them to look at the best two years instead?

i think might be last two years..but i know for sure you need to have had a full course load in those 2 years.

It is the last 2 years, and they must be full course load

Last two years full time courseload, unless you have graduated. In that case you have the option of having them use your best 3 out of 4 full time years.

Is this true? I'm wondering because my first three years are full time but my fourth year (BScN) is not. This semester I have a double weighted clinical course and two lectures (so "4" courses at best) and then next semester, a double weighted clinical placement and a double weighted lecture (so another "4" at maximum) . . . I was wondering if this last year would make me ineligible for Dal???

PS: Does anyone happen to know or have an understanding about Dal's policy towards pass/fail courses?

 

Thanks.

Bump!

 

I emailed Dal a week ago but haven't received any reply yet . . .

What's a good competitive OOP 2 year? And does anyone know if they accept/how they approach special years (i.e. extra year after you have already graduated?

 

Thanks

I'm not sure how they approach special years, but basically if you surpass the 3.75/4.0 cut off you are going to get a good academic score. From there it comes down to you ECs and your essay which seem to be a big separator between interview and no interview.

 

From what I saw there was no substantial edge to having a 4.0 vs 3.8, or at least no edge in comparison to other schools.
