Does anyone know what the GPA cut off is to get an interview invitation ? oops sorry that was for PT. For OT they dont specify a cut off, they just say top 800 applicants who meet the requirement will be invited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you ! Wouldn’t that be more than 800 tho . As I am assuming that everyone that applies has at least a 3.3.Since that it the cut off to be considered .So now everyone would get an interview even with the cut off ?

noor532 Posted February 2, 2023 Report Share Posted February 2, 2023 I did my Casper on Jan 26 and it went horribly. This was my first time doing Casper and I think I should have done more practice questions because I struggled with completing it. For 2 questions, I left 1/3 blank for each and Im not sure if my answers are strong. Only Western needs it so I feel like school is out for me...Hopefully I get into the other two schools that I applied to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also so many different people will be marking your exam so a diverse set of eyes will be reading it! Goodluck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have 3 people asking you about 12 questions. From all the peopl I know who have been in the program have always said it is panel for UBC MOT.

OThopeful23 Posted February 2, 2023 Report Share Posted February 2, 2023 It looks like my GPA from my 3rd & 4th year courses is around ~3.9 on 4.0 scale (4.23 on 4.33 system).....however, my cGPA is ~3.6 on 4.0 scale (3.8 on 4.33 system). My cGPA is low because I did poorly for 2 semesters and then ended up failing out of uni during a 3rd semester due to health issues (unfortunately, at the time I did not know I could withdraw under extenuating circumstances). My Casper went really well (4th quartile), I have solid references, and I have a lot of relevant personal and work/volunteer experience. I applied to both UBC and UofA MOT. I personally believe that I would be a great candidate for these programs but I am scared that my GPA will ruin my chances :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your 3rd and 4th year semesters have a strong GPA then you definitely have a shot at UofA! OThopeful23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gymgoer Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 Hey! Quick question for anyone familiar with the Dal MSc Physiotherapy program: Around when do they typically send out interview invitations? On the website it says that the interviews will occur in mid-to-late April, but there doesn't seem to be any indication on when invitations will be sent/received. Just looking to know around when I should expect to hear one way or another! Good luck to everyone with their applications! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also other people might have had the same issue as you as well. I scored in the 3rd quartile so not too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
