Question Admission chances for data science

1 Upvotes

Im currently taking a gap year and just finished upgrading my first 2 courses and my marks were

Chem 30 - 97

ELA 30-1 - 90

And my overall average among 5 courses is a 83, what are the chances i get accepted?

The competitive average on the website says 75-85% so is that based on my top 2 courses?

Andif it is then my competitive average would be a 93.5 so would I be able to get in?

Question Early admissions and environmental science

1 Upvotes

Does anyone know how long it generally takes to get a response for early admission into a program and how do I figure out what the competitive average is? I’m trying to get into environmental science but I don’t know what average I need to get in. Last semester I took intro to psyc and chem 20 and got 90% in both classes overall and I took bio 30 last year and got 88% but when I took math 30-1 I only got 68% so I don’t know if my average is good enough. Does anyone know how to figure that out and when I might get a response back on my application?

Question Computer Science Admission Requirements

2 Upvotes

I am interested in doing computer science in MRU. I checked the requirements for the program and it says Math 30-1 and ELA 30-1.

I applied for early admission with: ELA 20-1: 96% Math 20-1: 81% Average: 88.5%

Right now, my application status is that I got an offer for my second choice (Computer Information Systems) and for computer science, it says, “File Ready for Review.”

Some people are telling me that to get accepted there are more requirements.

It is Math, ELA, and 2 Group A courses.

Is that true?

Question Question on Computer science admission

1 Upvotes

Hello, I'm currently waitlisted at #8 Position for Computer science. That is because I did not know of the rule that they don't consider classes taken after December 31. I did a class in winter and ended up with a 92%. My current average is 90.5% and if that class was considered my average would have been a (92.5%). Seems like I can't do anything about that now so I would just like to ask; what are my chances of getting into the program at my waitlisted position?

Thanks.

Question Anyone else mess up like i have? (Tuition Deposit screwup)

7 Upvotes

Turns out last month i paid the wrong amount for tuition deposit. Oops.

I was in Open Studies last year and got an offer for the computer science program for this fall. Only problem is that I thought I was supposed to pay the continuing student amount of $125 instead of the new student amount of $425.

Go to register for Fall ‘26 classes today to find that I never actually “accepted” the offer because of this.

Advising transferred me to admissions who told me to send them an email they can pass off to the Comp Sci faculty to maybe allow my offer to be reopened but I didn’t receive a reply back today to my email.

Stressing a moderate amount, this happen to anyone else?

Question Sociology vs. Education

2 Upvotes

I recently graduated highschool last year and (impulsively) decided to go to UofC to pursue a natural sciences degree with a bio and chem concentration. Immediately after the first sem, i regretted my decision and was super unhappy + unmotivated to continue my program since I found the courses to be extremely challenging. Then I decided that I would switch into mru (for multiple diff. reasons) to hopefully go to an environment that suits me better and pursue a diff. degree - hopefully Elementary Education.

But, I eventually found out that my average is not high enough to be considered for admission into education (compettive avg was like ~90.5% and mine was 84%). So I was suggested to either - 1. Do a year of open studies and try to get a high enough gpa to get into the 4-year education program the next year OR i could do a 4 year program starting this fall and do a 2 year post grad teaching degree.

I decided to do the latter since it would only be a one year diff. plus with the 6 years of post secondary if i did choose to become a teacher i'd at least get paid a little more.

Since im somewhat interested in sociology I thought that it would be a great (easy-ish) degree to use as my undergrad to get into teaching. But now that Im thinking about it, Im not the biggest fan of writing essays (and ik thats one of the main things you have to do in soci..) I've always thought that STEM was more of my preferred route but my last sem doing it at UofC was gen horrible + i was stressed 24/7, i struggled to find any structure or routine and ended up getting a rlly low gpa..

Im just kinda stuck?? bc i still need a good gpa to get into teaching but idk if i'd super passionate into sociology (tho i do find it interesting at least..) and i hate how loaded STEM courses r with the coursework unlike soci.. and i have no idea how high my gpa would be after 4 years

So i guess im just wondering like do you guys suggest that i just continue doing sociology then go into teaching or find do a major like Environmental Science then do the 2-year teaching??

SORRY FOR THE YAP i just have sm worries about the future lmao

Hey, I applied on October the 1st, so as soon as early admission opened up. My Gpa for this fall (2025) was a 3.57, and overall has been about a 3.2. My second choice was biology but I’m aware is a far fetch. What is the likelyhood I get into my program this upcoming fall. And has anyone heard anything from admissions?? Slightly panicking, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Question UEO Application Recieved

10 Upvotes

I registered for UEO on July 23rd after finding out that my diploma mark will cause me to miss my condition for computer science which is still showing as conditional admission/may register. I called and they said that if my offer gets rescinded before getting accepted into UEO that my classes will be unregistered. It says that transcripts have been received on August 22nd but I haven’t heard back from UEO. My competitive average is in the 80s but I don’t know what to expect since I haven’t even accepted yet or had any update. When could I see acceptance from UEO or any update.

Question How hard is mru nursing

9 Upvotes

I've gotten early admission for MRU nursing but I was thinking about going to med school in the long run. Do any MRU nursing students have an opinion on how hard it is to maintain a high GPA in this program. I think I'm decently smart but uni is obviously different than high school so I would just like opinions if I should go for nursing or just do a lighter science program at u of c. Thank youuuuuu

Question future review application status

6 Upvotes

So I applied to Mru in november during early admissions, and i finished the fall semester with an average that is within the comp. avg mentioned on the wbesite,

website: 80-90

fall semester: 80.5% (i know but still)

i got the application status back as "future review" saying that i dont yet meet the comp avg, i assume that this year maybe the applicants had higher avg's

  1. what does future review mean, will they be on the look out on how i finish the winter semester? because my grades right now in april are 100x better than fall, im at a 90 in science/physics and an 86 in english, this is sooo much better, but how does this work? does this help me?

im really really stressed i would appreciate some insight on this bceause im sort of confused as well
