Vidhya Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Same situation here. Email sent, no news or change in GPA yet. I'm obsessively logging into UCAN myself, I wish I could break that habit. I'm also going into admissions blog withdrawal. I would love to hear some updates about how the admissions process is going. January feels so far away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animo_acid Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Same here. GPA still incorrect. No replies to my email either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

friendlyghost Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Just curious is anyone else is in the same boat.....anyone have 0.00 for GPA value and a blank for weight in their academic scores? My calculated GPA under the transcripts section hasn't changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holzie.89 Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Did your GPA disappear? My AGPA is still there but I also have a blank for the "weight" box... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friendlyghost Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 I'm wondering if maybe it's because I took four courses a semester for some of my years of university and those semesters contained pass/fail courses. Anyway, I know they are working on IT issues, so I think I will wait a few days to see if anything changes before I send an e-mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojef Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 haha- nope! It's good we can all laugh about it now. What happened at Queens? Was that when they sent out a bunch of acceptances that should have been rejections? Dear god that would be horrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asta Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 What happened at Queens? Was that when they sent out a bunch of acceptances that should have been rejections? Dear god that would be horrific. Thankfully it was the other way around. For interviews, they rejected a lot of people. A couple hours later, some of those people received an 'oops' and an invitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternalkeener Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Whoah, my aGPA on UCAN is horribly low. I guess I need to score super high on that MMI. Actually, does anyone know what Dr. Walker said to those who came to talk to him about Aboriginal applicants after the podcast finished? It would be interesting to know. Thanks in advance!

Anyway, I know they are working on IT issues, so I think I will wait a few days to see if anything changes before I send an e-mail. UofC will only count FULL YEARS (24 credits) in your gpa calculation. So if you took pass/fail courses in your undergrad, these years will most likely not be included in the gpa calculation even if you took some non P/F courses that year. It sucks for anyone who did a nursing degree as much of the course work is P/F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea ... I was there but I don't recall him saying anything special about Aboriginal applicants (though I didn't approach him afterward). Maybe in the applicant handbook? Search of these threads would almost certainly turn up something too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Pixie* Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 My aGPA still hasn't been fixed. I emailed Adele last tuesday and she said that they will fix it once she goes through all the 700 emails. Has anybody who got the same response had their GPA adjusted by now?

eternalkeener Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I read the manual and it states that you do get invited for interview if you are above 3.2 GPA. So that is good. However, you don't stand any kind of chance if they simply stack you up against IP (you are considered IP as an Aboriginal applicant as it states in the manual) post-interview. This makes me nervous. That's why I was wondering what Dr. Walker said. Maybe I'll email him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Sloth Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 My aGPA still hasn't been fixed. I emailed Adele last tuesday and she said that they will fix it once she goes through all the 700 emails. Has anybody who got the same response had their GPA adjusted by now? I'm in the same situation, she told me that it would be changed to the correct GPA but I'm still waiting for this to happen. I'm sure it takes some time for them to change all of these manually etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcdmed Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Same boat here. I finished a grad degree and the posted GPA doesn't include my GPA from my graduate degree. I emailed her again on Friday, got no reply so emailed her again this morning. She finally replied to my email from friday and doesn't seem very pleased that I am reminding her. The response was quite rude actually. I understand there are a lot of emails Adele has to deal with but just the same, as an applicant, we get quite worried when things in our app are wrong. It would help to get an approximate date that they would have the changes done by...I'm glad to know some people are still waiting for changes/corrections.

Singh Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Adele got back to me this weekend, but my GPA hasn't been corrected yet either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojef Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 It took about ~5 days for me to hear back from her ... very reasonable considering that she's got a bazziliion emails to respond to, details to check for each one, follow-up etc. etc. All this takes time. She seems to be the only one doing this, so it's actually pretty damn impressive she can respond as quickly as she does. I'd say give her a bit of time guys. As long as you have an outgoing email proving that you sent the information, and are sure that you sent it to the correct address, then you're good.

Cass Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Adele emailed me back saying that my gpa (after the worst year dropped) should go up a bit but it hasn't been updated. I'm sure it'll be soon though since like everyone said, she's probably just insanely busy updating/replying to all the emails she received in the past week.

Imagine that each of our problems takes about ~5 minutes, ans if there are 700 of us... that's nearly 60 hours of work. She's doing a fantastic job, especially considering that this is something that should have been worked out with IT and was not, and now it seems to be on her shoulders.

dassy Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Love this......."feel free to drop the office a line if there are any non-GPA related issues that you need help with" HA Just out of curiosity, do all Albertan files make it to file review, or is there only a certain number like for OOP?
