Hi thanks for the input!  Do you remember what the class average was last year?

I just checked my SSC and the average last year was 80%. I'm not sure if the average was higher or lower than normal due to covid but I imagine it wasn't too impacted because the course was already online to begin with!  Good luck with the final, I hope it goes well for you!

Has anyone completed AUDI 403 at UBC? Can you speak to how difficult you found the course to be (esp. given that the final exam is 80%). Thanks! 

Hey! I took this course in 2020 and found it a lot easier than AUDI 402. The final was still challenging but in my opinion 402 had way too much content to fit in one class and 403 felt like a more manageable amount (probably because its only 1.5 credits)!

This is true in my opinion because U of A has an in-house clinic, and even a cadaver lab for anatomy, which isn’t the case for UBC. Also you can check out what the course sequence is for both UBC and U of A, to compare! There’s 8 courses in the first UBC semester, and 9 in the second one. While U of A has 6 in each, but two over the summer along with the placement. 
 

UBC is half the cost of U of A’s program, but you might like to account for cost of living which is higher in Vancouver.

Thanks for the response! This is really helpful!

Hi Everyone! This is my second year applying and this forum has been such a help for me!

Last year I only applied to UBC and was rejected so I was honestly really surprised to get an acceptance this year after not improving my application as much as I had hoped. I also received an email from Vicki this morning offering me a spot in the UofA program off the waitlist. 

I genuinely didn't expect to get into one school let alone two so I'm having a tough time deciding between the two. I did my undergrad at UBC and I love Vancouver so i'm definitely leaning towards accepting UBC but i'm trying not to rush my decision. I have heard that UofA has a more clinical focus while UBC may be slightly more research focused? Does anyone know how true that is? Or does anyone have any insights into these programs?

Thanks so much and good luck everyone!

Has anyone heard from UBC yet? I think they mentioned early-April on their website.

I haven't heard anything yet, i'm hoping we'll hear by the end of the week!
