Question about Weighting Formula at the University of Toront

[Guest EchoAngel911]

Hello Everyone,

 

Say I finished 4 years of school with full course load and I'm using the ones below as an example.

 

1st year - 3.7 x 10

2nd year - 4.0 x 10

3rd year - 4.0 x 10

4rd year - 4.0 x 10

 

Note: the 10 represents the half year courses

So since I could drop the 4 full credits, can i drop the 3.7x8 grades?

 

Or is it drop 1 full credit for every year?

ie drop 3.7x2, 4.0x2, 4.0x2, 4.0x2

 

thanks

I think you could drop the 3.7*8.

[Guest daryn]

Yup. You drop your lowest four FCEs in your entire four years.

[Guest Dockrh]

which other schools drop your worst marks each year? Are there any other methods used?

The University of Manitoba uses an adjusted GPA (AGPA) for admissions. It depends on the number of credit hours taken.

 

If you take 90+, you drop 15; 96+, you drop 18; I can't remember the numbers inbetween, but if you take 120+ credits, you get to drop 30 which is an entire year. However, you GPA is only worth 10% and most have an AGPA of around 4.0-4.1 which works out to around 3.8-3.83ish.

This should really be moved to the Manitoba forum but be forewarned: OOPs need ~3.9 AGPA.
