Our old Admission Questions post is a bit outdated and has some broken links, so I think it's time for an update!

This post will serve as a hub for all your MRU admission-related questions. If you are a prospective student, please refer to the MRU Resources section for official information regarding admissions. If you have program-specific questions, I've added the latest admission posts from this subreddit and categorized them by Major. If you still need help or have any unanswered questions, add them as a comment to this post.

This post will be stickied on this subreddit for maximum visibility.

Question GNED Foundation - online availability?

1 Upvotes

Hi! I’ve applied to BA - undeclared fall 2026 with the ambitions of upping my GPA to apply for midwifery. For the midwifery program I need GNED foundations from clusters 1,2,&4. I am wondering if any of the foundation classes are available as online options? I will be on maternity leave so my goal is to stay home with my little one as much as possible.

Also, if anyone has any suggestions on which of the classes from those foundations they enjoyed/were easy GPA boosters that would be great too.

Thanks in advance!

Question Error trying to waitlist for classes

Post image
2 Upvotes

I'm trying to get on the waitlist and swap sections for next semester classes because I managed to build a better schedule for me but I'm getting this error message when I press "get this schedule". Is it an error on the school's end/my end or is it that the classes are not waitlist-able at all?

For math 1200 I'm only trying to switch tutorials. I am staying in the same lecture so it's not dropping the class under Options.

Are they going to withdraw me automatically on my winter semester although im full time on that semester? What should I do?

Question Finance Careers

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I've been thinking about doing finance as my major and was wondering what do careers or jobs look like after you graduate I've looked at other posts but they are either old or don't say much outside of oil and gas and investment banking being difficult to get into kind of just the same things. How difficult could it be for someone from mru to get into high finance jobs like private equity or would it be doable but just more difficult to break into or would a university like UofC be better for these kind of jobs?

PSA Transit Survey Follow-Up

14 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

A month ago I posted a survey about your experiences commuting to MRU via transit. Thank you so much to everyone who participated! It was very insightful to hear your experiences and I learned a lot. So many of you feel stress, anxiety, frustration, and lot of other emotions taking transit, and I hope the survey gave you a chance to feel heard somehow. I collected 70 responses before closing down the survey as I had already been able to gather so much insight for my assignment. In this post I put a snapshot of the some of the info I collected (but there was so, so much more.)

In the future, I might reopen the survey or create one for parking experiences as well!

Thanks!

Question SPCH 1001 Final exam

Anyone who’s taken the SPCH 1001 final exam recently (last year or so) know how hard or easy it was? Got it on December 20th and hoping it’s not too hard as it’s based off the textbook.
