Interview Invitations Are OUT!!!! Accepted/Rejected

[niceshrp]

Wait, so if you are currently in your 4th year of undergrad, you are not eligible for the worst-year GPA removal right?

boring day, at least they released the stats. i'm expecting an onslaught of regrets tomorrow

I need about 45/50 on my NAQ to get an interview, which is about what I would have guessed before the process- basically I'm still a long shot but we'll have to see if they seem to be using std dev to do NAQ this year.

^thats super difficult to do imo.. 45/50 you'd basically be just short of god
how did you fare last year on NAQ kyla?

how would that work? (ie. using std dev)

the equation is

AQ SCORE = -0.1022*(GPA%)^2 + 20.682*(GPA%) - 987.19


R² = 0.9999


EDIT: This is a fitline for the 85-90 range dont think it applies to <85 or >90

you didn't factor in pre-req % in your regression..
"Qualified applicants received an academic file review which included: review of prerequisites, calculation of the overall average (OGPA), derived from all university-level transferrable courses and the removal, when applicable, of the worst academic year to give an adjusted academic average (AGPA)."

From the interim stats .pdf:

British Columbia Applicants (BC)
File reviews were completed for 1066 applicants who were identified as BC residents. A total of 560 BC residents who achieved a total file review score of 60.49/100 or more were invited to interview.

I did the same calculation last year (I don't have last year's interim stats handy however), and I remember that 60% of BC applicants received an interview.

We're down to 52% now, folks.

You are correct, I did not know that pre reqs are looked at pre interview. That just adds a whole nother layer making the math very difficult if not impossible lol.

They look at prereqs they dont calculate anything using them preinterview !

Quick question. What does it mean that the prereqs are looked at? Is that to imply there is a separate AQ calculation for just your prereqs and a separate one for all your other courses and both somehow effect your score. Or basically how is the system different from just taking all your courses and averaging them and entering that into a formula that gives you your AQ (assuming no dropping of lowest marks etc). Thanks for any insight you can provide
