New Wgpa, Chances

[LastOneStanding 36]

Hello,

With the introduction of new Wgpa formula, my Wgpa dropped to 3.86. I was wondering if there is any hope of getting an interview with this kinda GPA for undergrad pool?

I'd also be interested in people's thoughts to what the new average/competitive GPA will be given the previous average wGPA was around 3.96?

Although nobody knows for certain what the effect will be, I suspect the average accepted GPA may decrease slightly year. There will still be many applicants who have 4.0 gpas, and if they continue to use GPA as the heaviest weighted portion of the application it will result in a large percentage of the chosen class having a 4.0, and a minimal drop to the average.

An interesting thing I noticed in OMSAS guide this year was that for graduate applicants, it states that a minimum of 3.6 GPA (instead of 3.7 from last years) is considered competitive whereas for undergrads it is still 3.8.
