paulchemguy Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 I heard someone said that OMSAS will send out a letter saying that they have verified the grades you entered and such... Is there such thing? If there is, when do we expect to receive them? Thanks! Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ploughboy Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 There is such a thing. I have no idea of when mine showed up. December? January? November? Somewhere in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirsteen Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Hi there, I recall my verification letters arriving in December as one of them had an error on it and I was hoping to have it changed by the new year. (Check your verification reports carefully!) Cheers, Kirsteen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madz25 Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 You should get the verification letter in Nov/Dec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a41 Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 I just got mine today. I'm not sure if it's just a Queen's Engineering thing, but they threw out all my grades, and just converted my averages to a GPA. This made my GPA go up, quite a bit in some years... Has anyone else had this done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulchemguy Posted November 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 I just got mine today. I'm from UBC. and they converted all my 4 credits courses into 3 credits course... anyone in a similar situation? Should we do anything about it? It's still 10 courses per year right now, so I still get the UofT special formula... so should I ask/tell them about the course actually being 4 credits and not 3?

It's still 10 courses per year right now, so I still get the UofT special formula... so should I ask/tell them about the course actually being 4 credits and not 3? Hey, Actually, I think U of T will probably not look at the marks sent in my OMSAS for computing the WGPA; they'll most likely evaluate the applicant's entire transcript(s) individually, noting the number of courses (credits) taken, and then determine whether the weighting formula will apply. Other universities have other ways used to evaluate (ie. Ottawa will drop lowest year if more than 3 years completed, Western only looks at two best years between Sept-Apr to see if applicant makes GPA cut, etc...) Only Mac looks at the entire cGPA.

TonesRN Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 I received mine yesterday but found a problem with it. They incorporated my college marks into my OMSAS gpa when they shouldn't have. The OMSAS gpa should only include undergraduate marks at a university. So resultingly, their calculation brought my gpa down because my grades weren't as good in college. Should I notify OMSAS about the error? Or should I contact each of the schools that I applied to (since many of them recalculate the grades themselves)? This was some stress that I didn't need...

It's still 10 courses per year right now, so I still get the UofT special formula... so should I ask/tell them about the course actually being 4 credits and not 3? The same thing happened to me. Maybe it's their policy with 4-credit UBC courses. It makes a big difference if you ended up with less than a full courseload, but if not then it shouldn't make a big difference. Personally, I'm not going to bother with trying to change it. I still end up with 11.0 courses in that year (I had taken 36 credits) - so it's still a full courseload. And it gives me a higher GPA since my 4 credit courses were slightly lower than my 3 credit ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, It's OMSAS that you need to contact, they will inform the individual schools. Relax, they made the mistake you won't get into trouble over it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuantum Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 I got my verification today. Everything seemed to check out except for the spot where it said 'Date Landed', it was blanck. I don't remember if that field was just for non-Canadian citizens or immigrants who have become citizens as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
