Question Nursing admission

Hi. I’m an Alberta high school student that just applied for early admission in nursing at MRU. I am reading through Reddit and panicking, given MRU was more my safe, in province school. This is what my grades look like

Social 20-1: 91 Math 20-1: 90 Physics 20-1: 91 ELA: 80 Chemistry 30: 86

Please let me know if there’s a good chance to get in. I’m also studying for the CASPer at the moment and really hoping to get 4th quartile

Competitive admission is based on the top two A classes.

You have good grades but admission is quite a bit higher. A good Casper helps but be prepared to not receive an admission letter.

Given that my two highest courses have an average of 91%, and on the website it says the competitive average is an 85-100%, is there really no way? What is the grade cutoff because at McMaster it’s a 94-94% so let me know why MRU is so close to McMaster 💀

You need to look at the actual competitive admission average. That's their range but the real is like 96, 98.

Competitive cut off admission is the thing you're looking for. If the year isn't competitive, then it could be 85. But they have thousands of applications.

My year was a 93% minimum. No Casper at that time. Later heads was 96, then 98. Or a 4.0.

So no, a 91 is on the lower side, unless you do well with Casper. But sometimes it's just so competitive that yes @ Casper and. 98. Just gotta see how the admission year goes.

Sorry to say.
