You have an outside shot at UofT, and an OK shot at UWO... but it's not guaranteed. You'll get in to many US schools if you apply early next cycle and you might get a scholarship at a US school (depends where u apply) so the tuition might not be so bad.

smilee Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 You have an outside shot at UofT, and an OK shot at UWO... but it's not guaranteed. Actually, you have a very good shot at getting an interview at UWO. The first round of interviews given out last year were for applicants who met the RC cutoff (which was 18) and who had a single best year with an average of above 84.5ish - both requirements which you meet. The later rounds of interviews were given to applicants with slightly lower averages for their best year. U of T solely depends on your cGPA and your AA and PAT scores. Last year, the cGPA interview cutoff was 3.84, which may make getting an interview at U of T harder for you than at UWO. However, if you have a masters or anything else above undergrad, then the requirements are lower for the cGPA. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought your best two years needed to be above 84.5% when averaged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smilee Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Prior to last year, it was based on the best two years. But last year, it was only based on the best one year (for the interview cutoff). I don't know which way they will go this year though (one year vs two years). Also, both the 84.5% cutoff and 18 RC cutoff are both dependent on the applicant pool for that year, so they are subject to change. After the interview, to determine the average used for deciding who was admitted, the best two years were still used last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smilee Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 The average PAT score for people invited to interview at U of T last year was 19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
human instinct Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 hey smilee...just wondering where you got this information regarding using one yr of gpa for interview cutoffs since I cant seem to find it on UWOs website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ad19 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 And if you look at the admission statistics for last years class it says: "Minimum % Required to be Interviewed – based on best 2 years prior to app. deadline" So I'm assuming it was based on your best two year average.

smilee Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 hey smilee...just wondering where you got this information regarding using one yr of gpa for interview cutoffs since I cant seem to find it on UWOs website. Hey, I called Trish last year to ask about the GPA cutoff was for the first round of interviews.. she said it was based on one year GPA that cycle because students who are currently in their second year can apply and they only have one year's worth of marks to base the decision on whether to extend an interview or not for them. I've heard that in previous years it was based on two years though, so not sure what they will do this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is interesting...didnt think about the second yr applicants but makes sense to use one yr for all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
