marriat Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 Hi! is there any information regarding the average wGPA acceptances? (ie., if there is a trend for higher wGPA every year?) As well, in general, is UOttawa biased towards their own province? I have a wGPA of 3.86, which is low and I am not sure if I should get my hopes up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that the english stream's gpa in super competitive but if you have above the cut off for sure apply, if you do really well on casper and have unique abs you have all your chances.

I think that the cutoff for everyone is 3.5? Or is there a separate cut-off for the english stream? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruh Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 Is there any consensus on how GPA is used pre-interview at Ottawa? I remember @Donald_Duck saying it’s 50% GPA and 50% CASPer, but on ottawa’s admission page it says “applicants are selected for interviews based on the minimum wGPA set for the applicant pool and results of non-academic assessments”. Also on their main admission page it says the following: Admissions facts for the 2018 application cycle: Number of applicants: 4,293 Number of students who met excellence of marks: 2,142 this makes me think that GPA is not used competitively pre interview! theevilsloth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember someone make a post previously stating that when they asked admissions, they told him/her that GPA is still looked at competitively, meeting the wGPA cutoff pushes you to a file review where the wGPA is still considered.

Donald_Duck Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 The breakdown pre-interview that I shared on this forum is dated information unfortunately. They are changing the admission requirements so much that unfortunately I no longer know the formula for pre-interview consideration. However, I do believe GPA is still looked at competitively as R previously stated. Mr Duck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
