mmtw Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 UofA sent out a mass email today (copied from the email): "For ALL post-secondary students applying to an undergraduate or graduate program at the University of Alberta, grades for courses taken in Winter 2020 will not be included in the calculation of admission GPAs." So basically we're flying off who we were last semester, even as potentially wait listed candidates. My GPA would have been higher by a whole 0.17 of a point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My GPA would have been higher by a whole 0.17 of a point I checked w FGSR about this when I found out a few weeks ago and they confirmed the same for grad programs. I don't think it should affect your application since all documents were due in December so that is the GPA they are basing your admission on - and many applicants wouldnt have had their fall semester GPA associated w that paperwork anyways! And I could be wrong about this, but I don't think programs typically take post application information to determine who gets off the waitlist (but maybe someone can advise me otherwise!). I'm not sure if that helps you at all, but hopefully it relieves some anxiety about your GPA and application status mmtw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titania Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 My friends that applied to US schools got their decisions in less than two months even with this outbreak. I don’t know why admissions from Canada are tarrying this long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend applied to NYU global health in late February and has paid acceptance fee this week. I applied to U of A since December and yet to receive a decision. There’s no set date to receive a decision anymore. I think it would have been nice to know if we’re being waitlisted or rejected so that we don’t get false hopes.
