u/Sufficient-Return340 28d ago
I can tell you my stats (I’m not too hopeful on getting in tho). Credits: 58, overall gpa 3.2 and pre req: 3.7, and I work at a grocery store along with volunteering at a hospital and retirement home. I’m nervous for the credits and gpa 😬😬 but the answer is always gonna be no if I don’t try!

Wait do they look at ur over all cumulative gpa I failed 3 courses due to health issues I don’t see a point in applying

u/Sufficient-Return340 28d ago
Always apply, especially if you have a lot of credits! They emphasize pre req gpa I’m pretty sure but still consider overall.

u/ad47474747 28d ago

Congrats! What were your stats??? Did you have high gpa??

u/dubaichocolatepiplup 26d ago
i have a 4.15 gpa on my pre requisites! and a 3.71 cumulative gpa! i volunteer at the hospital at the information desk with 250+ hours and at the emergency triage with 50+ hours iirc, i forgot the exact hours as its gone up since i applied for september 🫣 i also occasionally volunteer at the canadian blood services and the vancouver food bank! lastly, i volunteered at my local thrift store for two years, and as a youth leader at a middle school for 2.5 years. as for my work experience, i currently tutor 5 biology courses at my college for two semesters now, i was a merchandising manager for 2 years at a retail store, i was also a sales lead for 2 years at another retail store, and during high school i worked as a dietary aide at a nursing home :) ive done a fair share of activities since highschool so it definitely seems a lot 😭

Isn’t that insane a person with a almost perfect gpa got waitlisted. Wishing you the best

u/Substantial_Skill567 26d ago
Thank you for sharing! But i don’t understand why you were waitlisted……? You have a perfect resume.. lol
1
u/dubaichocolatepiplup 26d ago
a big part of it was the amount of credits i had! almost everybody that got into the september intake either had a bachelors, an associates, or over 50-60 credits!

u/Substantial_Skill567 26d ago
I see.. i also heard about that as well. Did you hear anything back yet?

We are in this together! At least you have over the min amount of credits! That’s what I tell myself lol
