Lmao. Overanalyzing tf out of it haha. Patience my friend.

LOL yes, the e-mail said sometime around Jan 27th. No particular date. You don't need a screenshot because that is literally what it said.

I'm gonna guess and say it's going to come out on Friday lawlz

LOL when I applied in 2018, invites came out 6pm...

Maybe today will be the day... who knows.

It said exactly that

Yes. They said it will be some time around Jan 27

They told me Jan 27

Are decisions even coming out today? In the acknowledgement e-mail, it said Late Jan lol.

To be honest, it's probably just a way for them to gauge whether they should use it or not in the future. I doubt it will be used this year if its optional (it won't be fair otherwise). It's similar to how uOttawa used to recommend submitting a MCAT score (because they wanted it for research purposes to see if they should end up including it in the future).

Thanks man. YOLO indeed haha

I specifically asked admissions about this, given my circumstances (i'm just below the 3.85 cut-off). They said they anticipate the cut-off being 3.85, but also mentioned that its difficult to predict what it will really be since its the first time they are using cGPA. And they told me the decisions to apply is up to me. Very ambiguous.

So does this mean that we shouldn't even bother putting anything other than our top 3 in each category? Meaning, only have 3 activities in each category? I'm only applying to Ottawa.

I'm curious about my situation as well. I have strong ECs and will give my best shot on CASPer, but i'm sitting at a 3.80 cGPA (according to Ottawa's calculation). Still worth applying? Admissions told me that they aren't even certain about their cut-off for the coming cycle. Thanks.

Yeah I wish it wasn't so ambiguous. I'm just below the 'cut-off' at 3.80. I don't want to end up applying if they are just going to end up discarding my application any way. I wish it was clearer.
