Oh boy... the nerves are kicking in! 
 

Can you also add Snapshot as part of the criteria?

Could you please change the wGPA to cGPA as uOttawa no longer uses wGPA as a method of GPA calculations.

You would have to ask admissions that. I don't think anyone here could give you an accurate answer.

Probably to de-emphasize the most recent grades, which are those from the covid-affected semester. They also haven't said anything about whether this is a permanent change or a one-off thing either.

Hey I added it. Personally, I was unaware of snapshot being used to evaluate students this year.

As you guys all get going with what will feel like a rollercoaster of emotions regardless of whether you receive and invite or not, I just want to congratulate you all for all your accomplishments, as well as to let you know that things will get better and that it's ok to feel bummy but just know to reach out to your support systems and things will get better, and to just keep at it across any challenges you face (reapplying, interview prep, and new paths). Always know that my inbox is open and I'm more than happy to talk things through You all got this!

Thanks for sharing this! Gosh everyone, I am so so so nervous. 

[p12345lu 24]

Why do they always start with "I wish to inform you...". That always messes with my mind when I read that.
