rekcut Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Hopefulptstudent, is 3.76 the GPA that you calculated personally or does it say 3.76 on the confirmation letter that ORPAS sent you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumati Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I got an interview for UofT too! I was wondering, what is the sGPA of applicants who got an interview? My sGPA was 3.9. I read on the UofT site that the cutoff for this year was 3.76. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopefulptstudent14 Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Hopefulptstudent, is 3.76 the GPA that you calculated personally or does it say 3.76 on the confirmation letter that ORPAS sent you? On my OPRAS application it posted all of my marks for my sub-gpa and it shows a sub-gpa of 3.76. I didn't recieve an actual letter through the mail but I know the universities have the same info of what is presented in our orpas applications online. I hope they get back to me today.

rekcut Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Hopefulptstudent, are you sure you calculated it correctly? I only ask because I made that mistake previously. I didn't have a full course load one term so they took the average of a previous term to make up the marks. My calculated GPA ended up being much lower than i had calculated, and that's why they didn't invite me to write the CAP They should have sent you a confirmation letter with your GPA on the back.. That's a little strange. Crossing my fingers for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a little strange. Crossing my fingers for you! Was the calculated Sub GPA on the letter you recieved in the mail the same as the calculated Sub GPA on your application on ORPAS's site? Of course we don't even input all of our last 20 credits for our application so when they recieved my transcript they put the last 20 credits as seen on my transcript. I would assume that ORPAS's Sub-GPA would be the Sub-GPA UofT uses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should look through your application to make sure everything was done right. You might also want to try calling the office of admissions. Hopefully it works out!

They for some reason can't tell me why I have been rejected and they look at references, transcripts, and pre-reqs; Maybe I didn't cut the tie-breaker? This sucks especially since I have no idea why I didn't make the cut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it works out! That couldn't have been the reason. I took the exact courses they required because they had a list of what courses met the requirements. I also made sure to include the course discription and link to where I obtained it (even though it was password protected because its not available to the public). Either way their decision is final and I just got to hope for the other PT programs now rosehazel24 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOTatUBChopeful Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Applied: UBC MOT Accepted:UBC Waitlisted: Rejected: GPA: 3.87 Perceived strength of essays/interviews/references: Strong letter of intent, great references, and extensive experience, plus I'm a BC resident. I was pretty sure I did poorly on this time around on the interview, but I guess it all worked out. It was my second time applying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naanot Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Applied: UBC MOT Accepted:UBC Waitlisted: Rejected: GPA: 300- and 400- level courses 84% Perceived strength of essays/interviews/references: Last year I applied to almost all schools in Canada and was rejected because of my low cGPA (3.02) and sGPA (3.48), but received an interview for UBC. Knowing my avg is high enough for UBC, I applied only to UBC this time around. What made my interview different from last years was that I was much more relaxed and personable. I did not take it too seriously and made my answers as simple as possible. Good luck to those still waiting for results! And if you don't get in this round, don't take it as a hindrance to your future, take it as an opportunity to do something you wouldn't have been able to do. For example, I traveled abroad and volunteered, it was an invaluable life experience, and I'm forever thankful I had the opportunity to do so.

Scorbix Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Just received my acceptance/recommendation letter for the MPT program at the University of Saskatchewan! While it's technically only a recommendation, and it's the College of Graduate Studies and Research that actually accepts applicants, the final requirement is completion of a degree -- which I completed last spring -- so it's smooth sailing from here!
