Admission to SFU

edited April 2008 in General
After self reporting your grades, how long does it take SFU to reply back, and tell you if you are accepted? Are there any additional things that must be done after self reporting your grades to be admitted?

    on the next full moon, you must go outside, hop on one foot while singing a Red Hot Chili Peppers song with a finger up your nose

    I almost didn't get admitted because I couldn't remember all the words :sad:

    I applied in December of 05 and I got my acceptance letter like in the march-may area of 06.

    I applied quite early and got my acceptance letter in November (in grade 12). However, you aren't "fully" admitted until your provincial exams are over. They'll send you another letter to confirm your admission.

    So don't slack off too much.

    I think this happened to me too...
    I applied right when it opened got conditional acceptance until my prov marks went through.

    If your average is 75%, you are pretty much accepted.

    I got my admission offer in late March, around the same time when U-Vic and UBC Okanagan sent me an admission offer.

    Like Ac07 said, if your average is over 75%, then I can pretty much say, "see you in September up here." Right now, you should be more concerned about the grades in your English 12 and Math 11. If your grade is under 80% for English or under 70% in Math 11, you will have to take FAL and FAN. PM me if you want some explanation.

    Thanks. You can also take and (if possible) pass the LPI to bypass FAL.

    For me I think I was officially accepted after my prov marks were official.

    Well, obviously. It is not like they will officially accept you without your provincial mark!

    If you're applying from high school all I can say is don't slack off when it's provincial time... like me, haha.

    What I meant was as soon as certain prov examable courses grades were official (the ones needed for me to get into my program... I took more than prov examable courses than required), I got in. So yes, without some of my prov exam marks they accepted me. I technically graduated in January instead of June.

    Some provinces like Ontario don't even have prov exams... so that's a whole different ball game.

    Wait, so how did you finish all the courses required for your program without going into second semester. Did you have English 12, one or two Science 12, and maybe Math 12 in one semester? Or did you took a few Grade 12 courses in Grade 11 and Summer School?

    I took a grade 12 language class in grade 11 and English 12 during the summer. In the first semester of grade 12, I believe I took Chem 12, Bio 12, Math 12 and some random elective.

    I guess I can say "welcome to SFU, bring a warm jacket for orientation." Soon, they will send you your Fall 2008 registration date. You have to pay SFU $100 Deposit to let them know that you are coming and to select courses. Your first registation will probably be smooth, given the fact that you are incoming from high school. I suggest that you to begin thinking about what program you want to get into and look over the list of 1st year courses for your program.
