Admission SFU question
 

Hey guys,
I just got mail from SFU saying that I am conditionally accepted if i continue to meet admission requirements..It doesnt mention anything about keeping a % avg. Does this mean i just need to pass all my courses now or maintain the same avg in grade 12?

Just pass, that's all you need.

Enjoy sleeping in class and relaxing.

Just to be sure, I would ask the SFU admissions office directly with this question. I assume you just have to maintain the standard GPA outlined in SFU.

alright thanks guys :thumbsup:

maintain your gpa. If you are going to drop, dont let drop too much. I have heard they take away your admission if your marks drop way below the min

i believe in arts, it was to maintain a C+. or 67%? something like that.
double check with your faculty's advisor though!

welcome to SFU! lol

Just maintain a C+ average, aka, take it easy.

just dont let math and english fall below 70% otherwise your forced to take extra classes. 75% in math 12 if you want to skip math 100 IIRC

well i phoned the admission office and she just said guaranteed admission is 80%
if you get lower and everyone gets 80%+ you lose your admission offer...hmm is she bullcrapping?

when i got admitted my final grades weren't 80%+ (this is after early admittance!)

when i got admitted i had an average of 75% and i knew people who got in with high 60s

80%+ is just guaranteed in
you still can get in with a lower mark, but you wont get in until like late

i think the admission is somehwat like this

business 86 % + could have increased
sciences somewhere along the 80s
art 80% min
health science 75% min

how the hell did you get accepted already

i think if you just get a C+ you're fine and honestly, you must try pretty hard to drop that fast within such a short period of time

i bet ur parents would not be too happy though.. thats if your asian.

yea man for sure lmaoo...parents gonna go wtf at my marks if i drop to C+.. I applied to Computer sciences btw...and thanks for everyones help ;)

have some background in programming before you do 1st year courses. I heard from my buddies its time consuming if you dont know the basics . etc

btw you are going to hate macm haha

well i dropped from 80% to 78% average in second term..I hope I don't get my offer taken away :(

You wont. I got into sciences and I started out with a 85, by the end of third I had gone down to a 74 or something.

Stop putting unnecessary pressure on yourself Pickle Man. Judging from the info you've provided, it seems that you do well academically so as long as you maintain the effort you're putting in now, you should be fine. Not only will the effort you put in now help you get into SFU, it will also help you with your future studies.

With that said, ENJOY YOUR LAST YEAR OF HIGHSCHOOL LIFE! Make the most out of the freedom you have now because once you get to university, you'll be putting in a lot more time and effort into your studies and won't have as much leisure time as you have now.

If it puts you more at ease, I slacked off in Gr.12, got a C+/C avg for academic courses, and was still accepted into SFU for a science degree. I'm not saying you should do what I did but just wanted to let you know that I did worse than where you're at now and was still accepted.

Good luck with your studies and hope to see you at SFU in the fall. :thumbsup:

this is so true
i think when i took it most people failed and have to take it again as well as macm 200 level
you will also get to hate cmpt 150

take cmpt 120 if your background is bad at programming

alright thanks again guys :)

Hey guys, I'm also a Comp. Sci. applicant for SFU (and I have also received early admission), and unfortunately, I'm at a 78% average this term. Your previous posts led me to believe that this will be just fine, and I'd end up in SFU by the fall of 2010. However, this belief has been shattered when I saw this post:

"SFU

Arts and Social Sciences - 82%
Applied Sciences - 80
Business Administration - 95 (80-94 are encouraged to complete broad-based admission)
Communication, Art & Technology - 80
Education (BGS) - 82
Environment - 80
Health Sciences - 80
Science - 80

The above admission averages are the minimum that an applicant must have.

Those that have been offered a conditional admission offer must maintain an average that is greater, or equal, to the average posted for their respective prospective faculty.

The post was found from this link: http://forum.canucks.com/topic/26826...sions-fa-2010/

I personally think that this information is bogus, as I have been on the SFU site, and the information on the top regarding the percentages were present, but the line saying "The above admission averages are the minimum that an applicant must have." was no where to be found.

Have you guys heard of anything similar to this? Were there some sort of changes made to the admission requirements for SFU? It would be awesome if anyone with any 'information or solid proof' to come up with a link that shows what was said above to be true. Thanks and best of luck to all the applicants!

^ Just relax. 78% is a good average. Just maintain it and enjoy grade 12.

emailing the cs advisor would be your best bet to get last yrs average
