 Does McGill look at sGPA? If it's ok with you, can you list your sGPA/cGPA?

no, they look at cgpa and then credit points for high marks in their required courses (anatomy, science etc).  In my case my cGPA was 3.73 but my sGPA was 3.69.

Applied: Queens, Western, McMaster, UofT, UofA, UBC (all PT)
Accepted: Queens (was waitlisted at #29)
Waitlisted: 
Rejected: Western, McMaster, UofT, UofA, UBC (post-interview)
GPA: sGPA 3.76 for ORPAS, 86% (UBC)
Perceived strength of essays/interviews/references: felt my experiences and references were strong. potentially could have had a stronger statement of intent for queens, but happy that the stress is over and done with and excited to start in the fall! For those on the waitlist reading this in the future, just remember there are many others in the same position as you. Stay optimistic!
