kwyhan Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Anyone who has done a special year and has gotten interviews? Not sure if it will look favorably.. My best 2 avg is a 87% =( So I was thinkig of doing a special year and bring it up, to at least a 90. PS. Special years are academic years done AFTER graduation. Thanks!

Have you applied to Western? 87 isn't awfully bad at all. The admission average for this year was 89%, so looking individually, there are some deviations from that grade. If I were you, I'd focus more on the DAT and the interview. My friend got into Western with below average GPA. For Western, I think the interview is pretty much what determines whether you get in or not (given, of course, that your other stats are average-ish).

kwyhan Posted September 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Thanks for the boost of confidence! Im just worried a little because it says 60% academics. Yes I have an 87 avg, but I don't have that many academic awards to go along with it. Have you applied to Western? 87 isn't awfully bad at all.

kwyhan Posted September 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Ah, I just asked my friend and she said they don't really look at special years. They either avg it out with your 4th year or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
