I am bilingual but I genuinely cannot remember whether or not I applied through that stream or the pure English stream. I want to know if I need to brush up on my french! Yeah! Check - I got caught off guard last year. Check whether you wrote "Both" for official languages on OMSAS. If you did, they expect you to be able to speak French or at least explain (preferably in French) why you put it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even close to a perfect GPA. Will edit once someone helps me with this. Current year: UG completeECs: Kind of all over the place. Research, work with minority groups, hobbies, EC's, started some sports initiatives on campus. I am also one of the scholars for a T5 medical school in the US. Casper: Wrote casper previously - I have years of CS experience under my belt so it didn't feel challenging at all. 125 CARS and still made it!! Does anyone know date availabilities? The one I got doesn't really work for me :\. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I e-mailed admissmd a few months ago (august) and the cut-off for english stream applicants OOP was 3.87 and IP was 3.85. It only gets lower than that so french maybe 3.8-3.83, indigenous, 3.77-3.8 but I am really guessing at that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whyudodistome Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 1 hour ago, ecdcsc said: Does the personal information section where you select whether you can speak both languages or not affect how they will interview you? For example, if the French stream is picked but you clicked that you can speak both languages, will that be tested at the interview? like LloydRedStan said, it will be primarily in the language that you picked. However i dont believe there necessarily WILL have questions in the other language. I had 0 questions in English, while my friend had 1. Thing is, not all books get translated to French, and if you make it through the French stream, you'll most likely end up having to do rotations in English as well, so i think they need to know you have a good baseline level of that language.

PharmaLife Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 I’m OOP (not from Gatineau). I got rejected this morning at around noon. Not posting stats because my GPA is not really that straightforward considering they might or might not have counted my last year of first undergrad year as year 1 in the formula (professional non-bachelor’s, but still considered undergrad). I’m really wondering what they’ve done with my GPA. It could be anything between a 3.7 or a 3.9 depending on how they calculated it. I wish they at least revealed whether or not I was past the cut-off so that it’d give me an idea of how poorly/well I’ve done on the casper test and whether I can still keep my hopes up for other schools.
