medhopeful2 Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 If it's any comfort, so haven't I. But then again... who knows where we are right now in the application cycle. Might be a good thing, a bad thing, or just neutral. Anyhow, just keep holding on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammmmmy Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 I talked to the associate registrar again. She told me that she cannot release the competitive GPA cutoff for any cohort but told me that they recommend that all of their applicants strive for around 3.8. What I got out of this exchange and her language was that their cutoff is above 3.8 and they seem to create their cutoff in that tenths place (i.e. 3.84, 3.86, 3.89 etc.). I believe this because if she had mentioned that the cutoff was 3.9 then that would be too high of a number for them to recommend 3.8 on their website and through e-mail. In short, I am giving her the benefit of the doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a grad student but I highly doubt I'm being assessed in the graduate stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also when you say grad student, do you mean as a post 5th year student or as a graduate student that is in the process of a masters degree? If you didn't follow the graduate procedures then I don't think they would be able to classify you as a graduate student. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to double check on that though. Also it would be very weird of them to define graduate students as those that show substantial productivity. I think people are grad students by the nature of how they applied and not their merit. I think they would see you as a grad student even if you don't have 300 pubs.

U of T explicitly states this on their website, under the "Graduate Applicants" section of the academic requirements section. They are pretty clear about this.

They are pretty clear about this. Yep just checked. You're right. I don't check the graduate section of the websites often and end up talking out of my ass. Apologies. One tidbit I caught though. "Based on statistics from recent admissions cycles, a minimum GPA of 3.8 is considered competitive for undergraduate assessments." I'm assuming this means that this 3.8 is only applicable for the undergraduate cohort and not the graduate one. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
