Bcbear Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 Was just wondering if anyone could clarify the rules regarding dropping your lowest year? I am an OOP applicant who did my undergrad (honors) over 5 years. I have been out of school for a couple years. In my last year of undergrad, I only needed 22 credits to graduate (3.69 weight sum in application), so I don't think this counts towards my GPA. In my other 4 years of full time school, my first year is far worse than the other years and is bringing my GPA from what could be around 3.9 for my other three years of full-time study, to a 3.78 which is below the OOP threshold. Is this GPA that UCAN has calculated/making me agree to the GPA that will be used in my application? Or do they eliminate your worst year after submission. I can't find any reason for my lowest year to not be dropped, but there's no point in applying if this GPA is not above 3.8 Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiconC Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 When I filled out the UCAN gpa calc, I input all of the grades I had received regardless (even those that would be removed) and it did the correct calculation for me. Thus, to answer your question: Yes, it is the GPA you will apply with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bcbear Posted September 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 I realized my mistake! I forgot to tick the box that asks whether you received your degree when you add a new term. I mistakenly took this as being a box ticked to indicate your year of graduation. Just in case anyone else runs into the same issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
