SnowmanTheSWOMEN Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 If you got an interview with a low GPA, it would mean that you did very well on CASPer. I understand where your worries are coming from, but try to rest easy! LowGPA and short_stack 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m in the same boat as you; constantly freaking out and checking every email I get to see if they released the new evaluation criteria so that I can gauge my chances this cycle. Just 20 more days to go Group hug for the low GPA gang lol I have a real bad feeling we're gonna find out at 11:59 PM on May 11 LowGPA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hijkl Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 fellow low GPA-er! i was fortunate to have other interviews, but not knowing the selection criteria for mac is freaking me out! here's hoping for a high CASPer weighting haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say probably < 3.8 is low. The matriculant GPA has been 3.84 before so the actual avg is around 3.85 which is basically everyone's GPA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theinbetween Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 Right here. I didn't apply to mac but I applied to ottawa and my GPA is right at the cutoff. My only interview + a mature applicant (career change). The stress is definitely real. short_stack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejvrei Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 Assuming that CASPer will end up being weighted highest, it is kind of nice to know that with a low GPA, CASPer must have been decently high though! With a high GPA/CARS you wouldn't really know about CASPer (could be high or low) which leaves lots of uncertainty in this new process in terms of trying to figure out chances...

I'm going to avoid any temptation from checking OMSAS after 12 AM. You either see nothing because you're waitlisted / rejected or you either see nothing because the system doesn't release anything until emails are out. I'll end up giving myself false hope. Yikes!

dusah Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 Anybody else at the slightly below level for both gpa and cars? (3.85 128) obviously there’s no point in speculation as the criteria hasn’t even been released yet but can’t help but worry as this is my only interview Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to check just incase there is nothing and it simply just means nothing and then having to wait until morning to reallllly know the dark truth. Omg that is going to be the worst night I can just tell. short_stack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year it showed Acceptances and Rejects at midnight. I was lucky enough to log on at 12:01am and see a big X indicating a rejection. This was for Western though. I believe acceptance was a green checkmark and it says "offer" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
