timrim Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I am surprised there hasn't been a forum made for University of Saskatchewan Pharmacy, but here it is. State your stats or any info you know regarding admissions here. I am a UofA student. I applied to both UofA and UofS Pharmacy. My prereqs are 3.6 and my cumulative is 3.3 (If I remember correctly, UofS counts all years in undergrad, my first 2 brought me down a little). Anyways, let's start contributing to this forum please.

Barndog Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Applied to UofA and USask Pharmacy (Was waitlisted at both last year - OOP for Sask) Overall is approx. 3.5 Pre-req is round 3.4 We'll see what happens this year! Also: Anyone heard anything about the changes they are implementing in a couple years for admission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fighting4mydreams Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Applied to USask Pharmacy as OOP. Final year of my B.Sc. Overall is about 3.8 and pre-req may be about that or a little higher (not sure because my university uses a different grading system). English isn't my first language, but it's not a problem (Toefl ibt score is 115/120). Would you guys know what my chances are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know anything about TOEFL grades though, but it seems like you have a high score in it if you were just 5 marks away from a perfect score. Overall I think you're good for marks, but there is still the Test of Critical Skill. Are you a student living in Canada? or applying internationally?

GPA wise you're definitely competitive, but remember that only counts for 60%. There is still the Test of Critical Skills and Personal Profile which is worth 40% and if you don't nail that, you won't be ranked near as high. (Believe it or not, I know someone who had a 4.0 gpa and failed to meet the minimum score on the TOCS and was not accepted because of it ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see what's gonna happen in Toronto (will be taking the TOCS there). You said you were waitlisted last year (OOP at USask). Which position? Would you know which position was the last one from the list to get in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VRorDEATH Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Hi guys, I'm looking for practice passages/propositions that I can use to practice for the Test of Critical skills. Is there any website or a good book that you are using? Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barndog Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Hey barndog, have you received an email from UofS regarding the TOCS? I haven't received anything yet. No, nothing yet. I think we're still a bit early. Last year the email came on March 4, so it'll probably be this week I'm guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received mine yesterday afternoon (I'm also OOP). By the end of this week, they should all be out for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
