mia1234 Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 I am a re-applicant from Ontario as well. My GPA last year at Alberta was a 3.93 but this year is a 3.83, would anyone know why with the exact same transcript, my GPA would be so much lower? Should I be contacting the admissions office ?

Out of an abundance of caution and as this seems most strange, I would contact adcoms directly and bring to their attention that apparently for no reason your GPA calculation at Alberta has mysteriously dropped from 3.93 to 3.83 in their estimation, whereas there are no new facts. I would also attach evidence of their calculation of your GPA last cycle and this cycle, both calculations with the same transcript(?). In other words. too much evidence/information is better than less information - so they have all the facts before them. I would do this as soon as possible.

Thank you for the suggestion, I have actually done just that. Hopefully I get a response soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the heads up, I will try and contact the registrar's office instead. Also, I am not sure as both were just the published grades but I believe they were with the worst years removed.

A = A+ = 4.00 at UofA still right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mia1234 Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Hey Guys, Just an update, they recalculated my GPA and it has returned to being what it was last year. If any one feels their GPA may be wrong, I highly advise you contact the Registrar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
