I'm on the alternate list for the PEI pool, and was wondering if any regional applicants on the Alternate list have been accepted yet?Hi! I am on the list and have not heard word yet!Hi Everyone! I am new to the thread
I also haven't heard anything about anyone being accepted off this year's list but it is possible!I'm glad you got good news this year! I know thinking about RVC was a huge challenge so it's nice to get in in-province
Has anyone who’s been accepted from the Atlantic provinces gotten their login username and password for the E value access yet? It says on the new student information package we should get them 1-2 days after but I don’t know if that means once we confirmed our seats or what cause I put my deposit in like 2 weeks ago and have only gotten my UPEI username and password not the other one! Just making sure I’m not the only one
I use my laptop mostly but for classes that I wanna draw and whatnot on my notes I prefer my iPad !!
same! I think we are all in the same boat since it’s an exciting event to look forward to! They did say they would try to have something to welcome us to AVC so hopefully that’s still fun
I luckily already had housing because I was doing my upgrades at UPEI, you must be so relieved to have found housing since that’s so stressful!
I’m waiting to get all my supplies for school itself until a little closer, once my bank loan is available to me! But looking forward to moving back to the island and meeting everyone too !!
Yeah for sure! I chose not to go to my graduation ceremony last year so was really looking forward to it but it's alright. We still have white coat in 4 years.
I'm also waiting until my loan is available before buying anything big! Shopped around and found the bank that gave me the best offer, now just waiting until that's finalized. Also applied for gov. loans and waiting to hear back from them.
you guys are making me want to get an iPad!! Hahaha. I currently have 6 year old laptop... wondering if I should be upgrading before school starts
total preference thing
I was going to start my application soon and I think it’s whatever the max credits is one the drop down menu, we take 7-8 courses a semester
I got a “file review” Within a couple days of sending a follow-up about my request but honestly it isn’t worth your time. They won’t tell you anything besides which parts of your application are below average, which I’m sure you already know. Kind of ridiculous of them to call it a file review.
That was a hard no for Dr. Lamont. I guess Tracy has been out of the office.
NS has 16 seats and NB 13. PEI only has 10. So odds are better in NS, without knowing the number of applicants annually.
Ohhh that’s hard to say. The applicant pool changes every year, I fell like the NB waitlist moves faster but you need a higher score out of 60 just to get an interview. PEI students need a score of 46 to get an interview and a 48 out of 60 to give you a stronger chance of acceptance. PEI only has 10 spots and there are a few people I know of who moved from Ontario and Quebec last year who are applying from PEI this year. It’s hard to say. But if you move to another province you’ll need to live there for a year before you can apply from that province anyway (unless you have a parent who resides there?? Not sure...)
Where did you learn about the /60 scores required for interviews?
Jack told me last year about the scores needed for interviews, for acceptance that was me talking to previous PEI applicants and myself on what our scores where when we got in (all 48-49)
It might just be easier to stick with PEI, were you on the waitlist this year?
A lot of my courses in undergrad did not have lab components so my academic average is slightly below the average accepted but it is hard to boost grades with the residency requirement only being applicable if you aren't in school during the 12 months! The only other part that was below average was my WSAB score, does anyone have any insight on how to improve that?Were you told your WSAB was below avg. this year? Tracy never mentioned it for my “file review”.Thanks everyone for the opinions! I am already on the waitlist for PEI so I think I will stick there
Once you're a resident you can go back to school full time and it doesn't affect your residency, so if you're already a PEI resident you can go back to school as a PEI resident. That 12 months only applies to change your residency!Thanks everyone for the opinions! I am already on the waitlist for PEI so I think I will stick there
So you could upgrade this year if that's something you wanted to do. You could even go to school outside the province if you really wanted to, as long as you aren't anywhere else for 12 consecutive months while not being a full time student! I hope that makes sense haha
