u/Extension_Item_2359

Hey everyone,

I applied to Concordia’s Cyber Security program for Fall 2026 and admissions told me I need to complete a math course in Summer 1 for my application to be reconsidered.

They mentioned MATH 203, 204, and 205, but I already have exemptions/transfer credits from another university, so I may not be allowed to retake them for credit.

Has anyone dealt with this before?

If you already had exemptions, what course did you take instead to strengthen your math profile for reconsideration?

Any advice would help a lot.

I was recently denied admission to Concordia’s Cyber Security program and am considering asking for reconsideration.

My overall GPA is 3.1 (above the requirement), and I completed three math courses instead of the required two. My math grades were B-, C, and B-, giving me a math GPA of 2.47 just 0.03 below the 2.5 requirement.

I also worked hard last semester to improve my GPA. I’m willing to take another math course if needed.

Do you think it’s worth appealing? Has anyone had success with reconsideration in a similar situation?
