LastOneStanding Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 Hello everyone, As title says I wanted to know what are my chances with a 3.83 WGPA and 25 AA 24 RC and 24 PA. to get an interview. I have finished fifth year Undergrad. Thanks a lot for your responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topomax Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 Hey, based off of previous years statistics (and the FAQ page: https://www.dentistry.utoronto.ca/dds-admissions-faq), a WGPA of at least 3.85 is what the program is looking for in a competitive applicant. However, that doesn't mean if you have below 3.85 you'll be cut or anything - just wanted you to know that that's where the bar is. Your DAT score is amazing so I think that will definitely help make up for your GPA. From what I've seen, it's the people with a masters or pHD that can get away more easily with having a 3.85 (or a bit lower) GPA - however I think you have an okay chance at getting an interview. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck. Actually there are 2 spots in their website. 1 in the FAQ says at least 3.85, and somewhere else says the average for interview invites is 3.85. Also do people with masters have advantage? since I was not able to see anywhere in their websites that mentioned that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, they don't ever mention specifically what kind of a bonus (or even if they do give it out) to masters students. I just mention that because I did my masters and got into uoft with a 3.85wgpa and when i talked to another classmate who did their masters they had a sim wgpa to mine and I know that they look for much higher wgpa for students coming from 3rd year or 4th year. At the end of the day, even 3rd of 4th years can get an interview with 3.85 gpa but I think itll be much harder for them to pull that off compared to someone who has a masters.
