These are my stats: Applied: PT at UofT and UBC Accepted: UBC interview Waitlisted: Rejected: UofT GPA: sGPA: 92% for UBC, 3.96 for UofT, pre-req GPA: 93% for UBC, about the same for UofT CASPer: 3rd quartile Wow sorry to hear that. Possibly they made a mistake and you could contact them (I got a CAP invite with a 3.95)? 3.96 is a really high GPA, is this on a 4.0 scale for Uoft? I would be really surprised if a 3.96 didn't even get a CAP invite for UofT considering the highest in prior years was 3.83. Applied: PT at UofT and UBC Accepted: UBC interview, CAP invite Waitlisted: Rejected: GPA: sGPA: sGPA: 93% for UBC, 3.95 for UofT... Cumulative GPA for UofT 3.87 CASPer: 4th quartile PFPT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTHopeful21 Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 Yeah I was a bit surprised but idk The 3.96 is what was calculated on the ORPAS application which I'm assuming is what's used by UofT? Maybe I'm wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think you should contact them to see if they maybe made a mistake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when it’s based off of sgpa. If there were other factors in the decision I wouldn’t be so sure. Furthermore, the cutoffs for the cap prior to this year were always below 3.83 there’s no way the cutoff changes by that much in one year. Possibly a missed document or something that they can reconsider and give you an invite. Hopefully it all works out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, I have a 3.9 sub-GPA and received a 2nd quartile casper score. I'm very confused as to why some people with much higher gpa's did not receive an invite. Best of luck to you all with either the CAP or your other schools. pt2022app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 3.96 GPA is so high, and I'd expect someone with such an average likely also has good references. And for a not-so-great reference to not disqualify if the gpa is that high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTHopeful21 Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 Sent an email, probably won't hear back until Monday. Luckily UBC is my first choice, so I'm not too upset.

yipee Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 Congrats to everyone who was accepted! Curious if anyone has recommendations for online schools to upgrade your sub GPA. Didn't get an offer this year so I want to give myself the best shot for next year. izp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTHopeful21 Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 Thought I would update everyone. Got an email back from UofT, the subGPA cutoff this year was 3.84 and they had over 1300 applications. They look at the whole application but they couldn't give me any more information about why I didn't get a cap invite. Might be because I'm OOP but not really sure. Just keeping my fingers crossed with UBC. Thanks to everyone for the advice pt2022app, PTHopeful2022, kondoom88 and 8 others 4 3 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my memory is correct the first step is just application submitted. We should hear from them towards the end of April or early May! The last couple years have trended from middle of April to late April. Each year seems to take a bit longer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole school is self-paced and courses are organized in a way that makes self teaching very straight forward.
