  1. Sorry. Wording threw me off. Skimmed the post.
  2. Wasn't French stream lower? I thought I saw people with 3.7s getting interviews. Could be mistaken.
  3. UWO's GPA requirements are pretty stable. 2 years at 3.7+ with full course load, and 18/30 credits each of those years must be at year 3 or higher. Ottawa's cutoffs for the applicant pool is usually around 3.85 for the English stream. The actual competitive range for English stream interviews is in the 3.9+ range. The French stream has different cutoffs and competitive ranges I think. Have a look at the Ottawa forum for more information.
  4. McMaster is the first school that comes to mind, but you're probably an average applicant there. Western - CARS too low Queens - Possible, but it's a black box. U of T - Essentially no Ottawa - No, below GPA minimums Calgary - Unlikely due to CARS ( I think it's a 128 minimum, but double check) Alberta - Do not meet MCAT cutoffs Sask - Do not meet MCAT requirements Eastern schools - Not familiar, but I think they're pretty competitive. Research this on your own. UBC - Depends what your GPA converts to in %, but even then, I'd say no because most competitive OOP applicants have excpetioal numbers. Overall, I wouldn't say you're very competitive right now, and I don't mean that in a way to put you down. It's just incredibly competitive these days, so your numbers need to be solid before anything else. My recommendation is to see if you can get 3 good years of grades (3.9+) to boost your GPA, regardless of whether they're already completed, or future years, so you can apply to Western, Queens, Dalhousie, McMaster and Ottawa. Then consider also re-writing the MCAT. Your total score is OK, but you need a higher CARS score to create leeway for schools like McMaster and potentially Western. Best of luck!
