kwyhan Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 I know admission GPA avg is 89+ I have 86.6 and 88.2 as my best two years and I already graduated. Anyone know if I take a year (full-course load) as continuing/mature/special student but isn't part of a degree (because I already graduated), would they take this year as part of my best year? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! From their website: Special Years: Academic years involving no program requirements may be included in the average in the admissions process and deemed a Special Year if the applicant is not registered in any undergraduate degree program and meets the following parameters:During the previous undergraduate degree education, the student must have achieved at least one A-level year (80% or higher) The Special Year contains a full course load - at least five full courses or equivalent, four of which are equal in difficulty to those courses at Western which are coded 2000 or above. The complement of courses in the Special Year must not appear to be a repeat of a year taken within the student's undergraduate degree. A minimum of 80% is achieved in the Special Year. The Admissions Committee will allow two Special Years on a candidate's transcript should the applicant not achieve 80% in the first Special Year attempt, however only the higher one will be considered as a competitive year. The averages of Special Years taken during the year of application are not considered in the current application cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only look at the average so with a 88 and a 93 in top 2 years, you have a good shot at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
