Out of curiosity, if one say had a 3.6 cumulative GPA, and 3.8 GPA in the last 3 years with upward trend, would doing a thesis-based MSc in directly related field allow for a good chance at a Canadian school? Good EC and shadowing etc., probably need to re-do the DAT (1st attempt 19AA, 21PAT). Would the GPA make it very unlikely to ever get an interview as schools always look at the cumulative?
If anyone here has gotten an acceptance with a lower undergrad GPA who did a masters I'd really appreciate some input.
