premed1000 Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 Hi everyone! I'll be applying to medical school for the first time this upcoming fall (entering my 4th year of UG), and I had a question about submitting an academic explanations essay to U of T. My first two years were pretty strong (~3.92), but unfortunately in the middle of this past year I found out that a family member who I was very close to was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. My family and I took regular trips to the US to visit her. She entered stage 3/4 in March and her passing in early April threw me off for my finals. I ended 3rd year with a 3.84, which is lower than what I expected and hoped for. Is it suitable to write an academic explanations essay in my case? My wGPA for U of T will now be only 3.93, I was anticipating for it to be closer to 3.96/7. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymouspls Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 Writing an academic explanation essay for a 3.84 GPA seems asinine, I wouldn't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
