I asked Kristy for clarification because I’m goin crazy. They consider next week June 12-16 the second week of June. So probably won’t hear anything til then!

As for finding a place to live, I think it might be a good idea for people who get in to make a facebook group or something to discuss things like that, I know someone going into 2nd year so I could ask her for some suggestions once we get to that point…

This makes me so much more stressed and angry. Like they already have the list please put us out of our misery and tell us! It would give us an extra week to find a place to live and get started

I feel you! Just gotta take a deep breath and accept that it’s outside of our control at this point (easy to say, not so easy to do). If I’m ever in a position where I have a say in this process, I think I’d do things a bit differently. I’d like to give them the benefit of the doubt that it is this time-consuming to evaluate applicants, but it’s frustrating regardless.

Oh well, after waiting this long another week shouldn’t be too bad! Thanks for asking 🙂

Does anyone know what happens if you miss the call? Will they leave a message?

Hi! I will have a room available for another student (hopefully I get in!). Own room and bathroom with shared office. Dog friendly but not cats. 5 min drive from the spyhill campus.

I didn’t get accepted, which is what it is, but I’m a little confused about the quartile rankings they gave. The site for the CASPer test put me in the 50-74th quartile and very specifically says that means I did better than 50-74% of the people who wrote the test, but in the email they said I was in the 3rd quartile meaning the BOTTOM 50-75%, can anyone provide some clarity on that? Am I just reading these wrong?

I think the quartile on the Casper website was only for the written portion so that’s why you have 2 different quartile results for Casper
 
I asked Kristy what my rank on the waitlist is, anyone know if they share that information? I feel like being top 3 compared to like bottom 7 is a big difference

I also asked and don't know if they can give out that info but I agree that the higher you are on the list the better!
 
I just want to say congratulations to everyone that got in, but more importantly, if you didn’t this round, please please don’t give up. I was rejected 3 times before I got accepted and watched all my friends get in without me so I’ve been where you are and I know how much it hurts. Once you’re in, no one cares how many times you applied and experience will matter more so use this year to get experience and save up some money!! ❤️

I don't believe Kristy is allowed to tell you, but asking can’t hurt! 😊

I think 3rd quartile does mean you are the top 50 to 74%. 4th quartile is the best score which is 100-75%. They may have worded it wrong in the email? You can confirm on the capser website too.

No, 1st quartile (0-24th percentile) is the best result/top 25% of applicants

Edit- disregard 😂 75-100th percentile is the top 25%

What may be confusing is that Casper ranks you into a quartile (4th quartile is highest) and UCVM gives you a quartile ranking (1 being highest).

Since I know there's a time crunch, here's some important information for those of you about to relocate:

You will likely spend 4 days/week at CSB (spy hills) in NW Calgary, as of yet there is no transit running to this campus but there is parking. 1 day/week will be at the foothills campus. Personal transportation is strongly recommended!

I've got classmates who live all over Calgary or even out of town and it's totally doable so don't go broke trying to find a place in NW. That said, I do love living only 5 minutes away from CSB 😂 Hope this helps you make decisions about where to live for the school year!

Is there someone people who got rejected can reach out to? Just for support/ advice for next year

Does anyone know how many people got in off the waitlist last year or the year before?
