everest_7 Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Hi everyone My wGPA is 3.96-3.97, however I cancelled one of my classes in third year of undergrad so it shows up as "CAN" on my transcript. The problem is I did not cancel the class because I couldn't handle the workload or anything similar to that. It was because I was visiting elderly hospitalized patients and I developed a meaningful relationship with one particular patient who was improving greatly with my help... I had to stop visiting this patient due to my class schedule and I thought, because I hadn't invested much effort in the course yet (hadn't written the midterms or paid for it yet), that I should just drop it and tend to this patient. I took a summer class to make up for the credit. The point is, I do not want the admissions committee to look at my transcript and assume a cancelled course means that I was unable to handle the workload (which would result in an automatic rejection, probably). How can I go about explaining this to them within my application? It's tough because there's no essays or anything to express this. Thanks in advance!

SillyPanda Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 I withdrew from a class when I changed my major and I still received an interview from Ottawa. I wouldn't stress about it if you are a strong applicant otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
