suziep100 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Hi I wanted to make sure whether or not I should be fine as long as I keep minimum of 3.3 for my 4th year. This year has been pretty terrible for me, so I was wondering. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igotacookie Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 work hard for the rest of the year and see what you can do to salvage. Nobody can give you a straight answer for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medguy5367 Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 This is what I received in response to the same question: As long as the GPA of the current year is above 3.3 and all prerequisites being taken in the current year receive a passing grade, it will have no effect on your admission to the University of Alberta medical school. So relax, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larrivee Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 yes this is true. 3.7 for the 2/3 year applicants Is it different for 3rd year OOPs? Or still 3.7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suziep100 Posted March 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Sweet So if I get in and my 4th year GPA is 3.3 , I should be fine then? Not saying that I would get cGPA = 3.3 this year, but I think this year's GPA is not going to be up to par with the admissions standards at U of A. Also, for those who are interested, when I talked to the admissions lady at U of A, she told me that it doesn't matter whether/not you graduate. So basically, you can take 10 GPA boosters in your year, get 4.0, and use that for your calculation, as long as your GPA is high enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Gosling Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Is it different for 3rd year OOPs? Or still 3.7? This is all it says on the website: Acceptances are provisional; one of the conditions is that the official transcript for courses just completed shows maintenance of an overall average of 3.3/4.0 for 4-Yr Alberta, 3.5/4.0 for Non-Alberta and 3.7/4.0 for the 2/3-Year pool converted to match the University of Alberta 4.0 scale. I'm guessing the 3.7 rather than the 3.5 applies for 3rd year OOPs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
