Hey! What was queens c-GPA cutoff last year?

 

thanks! 

Hey!

This is what they have on their website under FAQs

Question: Can you provide an estimate of the sub GPA and cumulative GPA cut-offs for this year?
Answer: We use cumulative GPA for our admissions process, and the cut off varies by year, depending on the applicant pool. In 2019, we had 807 applicants, and the initial cut off was 3.2/4.0 cumulative GPA to proceed to full review, and the overall cumulative GPA average of students who received a first round offer was 3.66/4.0.

I know everyone is really nervous about the decisions that are about to come out. Just know if you don’t get accepted, it doesn’t mean you aren’t smart and it doesn’t mean you should give up! It’s a v

Hi everyone! With a lot of admissions decisions coming out soon/tonight-ish I just wanted to drop the number for some crisis lines as news can bring up feelings of distress.    Crisis phone

I also want to echo what some people have said above. I applied FOUR TIMES and finally just got accepted. I've spent the last three years taking courses to upgrade my GPA and doing everything I could

I assume this is for OT?  Because for PT it’s a bit different as the cGPA cutoff is predetermined each year at 2.89/4.0 regardless of the applicant pool.

Hi everyone, 

I'm applying to Western for OT. Since there was no requirement for references I didn't add my references. Looking back now I'm a bit concerned if I should have added my references even though it was not a requirement. Does anyone know if Western looks at your references for OT?

Not sure if anyone has already asked this (sorry if it was brought up) but has anyone heard back from uoft PT yet? I only got an email from Western to set up my ID and nothing from Queens. Thanks!

I haven’t received any confirmation as well. I believe we hear from UofT at the time of the CAP and Queens, on day of admissions.

from what i remember it had both. Tips honestly just be your self, comfortable and calm. Explain your reasoning for your answers. I talked about alot of volunteer stuff in my interview and dont even think I ended up talking about physio honestly lol 

Hey, do you have any tips on preparing for the kira talent interview. You mentioned you spoke about your personal volunteer experiences but I know the questions are pre-determined and what if the questions I get don't require me to talk about my volunteer experiences.

I have a 3.90sGPA and I haven't heard either!! Don't worry it's not just you! I guess they are taking their sweet time this year

Does anyone know if there's a fee for Mac OT interview? I know for their PT interviews, applicants have to $50 but I can't find anything about OT. Thanks!!!

There is no fee since the interviews are run by the school. I think PT has them because they are Kira Talent. Did you hear back already about OT?
