Blue_Sky98 Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 I'm about to go into my 4th in biomedical science at uOttawa and I'm in a French extended program. Here's my info: - 1st year GPA: 3.3 2nd year GPA: 3.9 3rd year GPA: 3.86 wGPA with OMSAS: 3.81 - Applying to the French stream at uOttawa and NOSM - EC's: French/English tutor, pianist at a church, choir, band, physiotherapy clerk, volunteered at a hospital, piano teacher at elementary school, private tutor (very brief), Sunday lesson teacher for kids, president/founder of a club and VP of another, etc. - I live in Ottawa A lot of my EC's are centered around music and tutoring. I don't have 32+ entries like most people and honestly, I feel like my GPA is quite mediocre for med school. I am going to try my hardest to raise it in my 4th year and then write the MCAT (so I can apply to more schools if uOttawa doesn't work out). But, right now what are my chances of even getting an interview? Thanks a lot in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zackattack881 Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 I calculated you wGPA and got 3.78 Are you sure you calculated it right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just copy pasted the info (I made a mistake before) but technically it's the following: Year 1: 3.35 Year 2: 3.92 Year 3: 3.89 I assumed uOttawa rounds to 2 decimal places.. Is that incorrect?

zackattack881 Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 No you are correct. Although you seem on the lower side, I have seen people with your GPA get in on this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
