I also know a couple of other colleagues of mine who got 2nd quartile this time round and I was quite surprised, so it could also be that there were a lot of high scorers on your test date. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they say how "activity courses" are not included in the sub-gpa, does that not include this acting course? Or am I thinking of something else? Because if it's included in my sub-gpa calculation i'm pretty sure it does then, no? I’m honestly not sure because I took net & implement games (kin degree elective course lol) and did not think that it was going to count towards my sub-gpa but it did! I have previous activity courses but I’m unsure if they were included as for those semesters my gpa was averaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend asked ORPAS about a similar situation and from what I remember (dont quote me on this), they basically said as long as the course has lecture components/written assignments, it is not an activity course. It has to be purely activity based to classify as a activity course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know different schools have different scales but I didn’t realize how different it could be, such a sad day, really lost hope now on getting in this year. Don't lose hope! The same happened to me - I had a decent sGPA at my school but with the conversions it dropped significantly (below the cut off for a lot of schools) and I got into UofT! It's still possible don't lose hope! PTPTPT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chunch Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 Hi all, I'm looking for advice about a mistake I made in my already submitted applications, and was wondering if anyone might have had a similar issue that was resolved. Basically I messed up, I need to add an institution as I am actually an open studies student at the same university I graduated at last spring, and I retook 2 classes I needed the next year after graduation but I did not state in my applications or resume that I am technically an open studies student at the same university, which now I realize too late means I technically lied about my academic history in a way. The 2 classes I retook/am taking now show on my transcript. I'm wondering if I should email the application boards and let them know I need to add an institution or if I should hope that this slides by without being noticed? argh If anyone has advice on what I should do I'd really appreciate it.

Boukenbc Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 Update ** it was a mistake, recieved an interview !! Just got a rejection email from UBC MOT. Went from an interview last year to this. My gpa this year was higher, 4th percentile, I’m really shocked at the moment did not think that was possible in regard to how last year went :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had quite a high GPA too, but I’m OOP so I knew my chances were slim There’s lots of more schools to hear from though, we’ve got this!
