Ss123toy Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 I am OOP. My UAA is 84.70. Any chance this would get rounded up or am I ineligible to apply? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't round up, but this doesn't mean you're ineligible. Your average at Sask will be different than at any other school - they used a different conversion table for my school than OMSAS did and it actually raised my average a fair bit. I would contact them and get them to send you the grade conversion table for your school's grades to U of S's system. Reminder though that the minimum MCAT you needed to even interview this year was 98th percentile, so if you aren't at least in the 95th I would probably save the money and apply elsewhere.

Thanks, I'll email them. I'm a UBC student so I get my grades as percentages, not letters. Do you think there is still a conversion involved?

Do you know what they convert an A-, A, and A+ to percent wise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the admissions book it mentions that they only convert to a percent if one is not already available. I am not sure about rounding sorry! Median accepted grades last year was an 88.27% so I'm not sure if they round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't find the email but an A- was around an 85, and the A & A+ were in the low to mid 90s range. Not sure what school you're looking for but I think the conversions are school specific so your best bet is to email them and ask.

Ss123toy Posted April 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 Thanks everyone! I've sent admissions an email and I'll update this thread when they get back to me for anyone else in a similar position Speculator 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
