I have a conditional acceptance at UofA pending completion of my stats prereq; does anyone know if I have to actually do well in this course or can I just pass it? LOL There is no grade requirement, you just have to pass. Although I do recommend you pay close attention in stats because you will be taking stats in the first semester of the program and its helpful to have retained some knowledge of it ?

Nope ? although if it makes you feel any better, I found this stats to be a lot easier than undergrad. In undergrad we had to learn all these formulas and stuff, and this stats class is more about looking at research papers and pulling stats from them and analyzing them/understanding what they mean! Which is also super applicable and beneficial throughout the rest of your degree when you look at research papers, and throughout your career too while you stay up-to-date on research! sh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just out of curiosity (I’m assuming you go to the UofA since you’ve been talking about it ?) do you know how many people in your year made it off the waitlist?

BCSpeech Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 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! Wugs and JennSed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much and good luck everyone! 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 so much and good luck everyone! So from what I've heard UBC's classes also tend to focus more on research, less on its applications (although obviously it's all highly relevant research), whereas UA's classes are geared more towards clinical applications of research. I also go into both and haven't decided so feel free to message if you'd like to chat more BCSpeech 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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)!
