Guest dentistwannabe Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 Hey everyone, I was wondering what the cut-offs were for interviews? If you got at interview, what were your stats like? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bcdentalgirl Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 I got an interview at UBC with a 78% average. I even have an F on my transcript! Just thought I'd share that for all you that think a bit of failure will destroy your dreams. Don't believe it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tantastic Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 I was wondering how you got interviewed. IF you look on the UBC website it says that those admitted had an average of approx 84%. Out of curiosity what is your GPA? For example at UofT a 75-79 would be a 3.3 and that would be nowhere near the GPA required to gain an interview let alone acceptance. Does UBC just take percentages and average them rather than converting everything to GPA? I was also wondering about that F, how did you manage to increase your overall GPA to 78% with an F in your average? Did they drop your worst year? In any case, good luck to you Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bcdentalgirl Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 Yup, the average of those admitted is 84%. That means there are a bunch of people with higher avgs than me. Could be some people with lower than me too. They didn't drop my worst year. I overcame an F because that was only 3 credits out of 90 at the time (I applied after my third year). As for U of T, I suppose if I'm below the cutoff, then yes I probably wouldn't have been considered for an interview. But I didn't apply to U of T. I don't know how the UBC admin process works, but it seems that they perhaps might look beyond grades in many, if not all cases. I know there are people with grades way beyond mine who did not get in. Take from that what you will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest koft Posted April 25, 2003 Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 84% avg was the admitting grade, however, this does not mean everyone got 84%. There will be ppl getting in with 90%+, that will mean if it will be ppl (but smaller number) will have below 80% avg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
