    This is the first year with quartile scores revealed to applicants so unfortunately there's no way of knowing for sure, as none of the accepted applicants from before (including myself) got this information! However, I don't think the CASPer is weighted too heavily, they're still figuring out its value and I think your other materials probably play a larger role.

    From what I know, yes

    Maybe play with the margins or choose a font like Times New Roman (smaller than Calibri)

    I think if someone actually says the abbreviation as an abbreviation, then 'an SLP' does sound better! I wonder if the person reviewing was actually saying "a speech language pathologist" when reading SLP?

    Also, if it's any encouragement, the way ORPAS calculates and U of A calculates GPA seems to be different. In the former my GPA was under 3.6, in the latter, higher.

    Congrats on raising your GPA! I'm not sure how it'll pan out this year, but to help your decision these are the GPAs listed on their website: "The average sub-GPA (on a 4.0 scale) of applicants receiving interviews for admission is listed below, by year. 2017 - 3.792018 - 3.832019 - 3.852020 - 3.862021 - 3.90" I think it's possible that they went up by a lot due to COVID/online school, so I have no idea if that trend will persist this year.

    1) Yes, you can submit and pay for the application and upload your resume and statement of career interest later. 2) Yes, I'm pretty sure you can, just ensure the results will be in by the time it's due

    I had this same issue, it was hard to get ahold of them. I think in the end it was the non.degree@ubc.ca email that got back to me. It took them 10 days to email me back. I think the open seats are reserved for students in a program requiring them, and you have to snag seats that are not reserved. I would recommend you check back routinely, especially closer to beginning of classes, as there is usually always someone dropping and freeing up seats.

    U of A has changed the weighting in their admissions for how much GPA counts for. Now, you are more likely to have your experience and pre-req grades recognized than your overall last 60 credits. I hope this helps give some reassurance!

    Hey! I definitely had a lower grade for one of my pre-reqs that I took in second year, and it was fine. Still got in!

    Yes I believe they do! I know for sure UBC does and likely U of A as well.

    Hello! Yes, this is a fine sGPA to apply with. I personally know of people who have gotten in with GPAs in this range. I believe this year GPA was only used as an entrance requirement, and had to be above 3.3 and aside from that was not as heavy of a criterion as it had been for previous years. I'm not sure if it'll be the same going forward but it's something to consider!

    I took the practice one a lot of times, timing myself and developing a strategy for how long to aim for for each answer. I also made sure to reflect on some experiences I might draw on for any questions that ask about those. For the most part, it’s just getting a good handle on test and performance anxiety. You have to practice “shaking it off” between sections if you didn’t quite make the time limit for the last section, so you have an overall great chance for the next section. It was a good experience, let me know if you have any questions!

    I think around 250 applied? When Vicki was asked at the Q&A session September 2020 she guesstimated 100-200 applicants, so perhaps it was just outside the upper range. No idea how it compares to previous years though! One thing that did change is how Alberta determined admissions this year; before GPA was used more heavily, then everything else, whereas from what I understood this year is that it was done the other way around, and applicants were looked at as a whole then GPA. (this is just my understanding). GPA this year was officially an entrance requirement, and one of the semesters (winter 2020) didn't play into calculations or something. I hope this helps!

    She is quite good at responding within at latest a couple of days, however she said she’s taking a few days off in her last email, and will respond early next week if she can’t get back to us
