Hey All!

 

Can you dudes tell this wondering fella how Uoft goes about calculating the almighty GPA? Do they drop a year, or count all courses? Thanks a bunch.

Here's info straight from the horse's mouth i.e. U of T medicine website.

Full Course Load

 

The following weighting formulae may be used for students who have taken a full course load (five full credits) for academic credit, during each of their academic years.

 

Students applying after completing two years of university education and during the third year of a university program:

 

Converted average of the two completed years of university.

 

students who have completed three years of a university program:

 

best two years' converted average each x 1 plus

worst remaining year x .5

/2.5 = Academic score

 

students who have completed four years of a university program:

 

worst year eliminated

best two years' converted average each x 1 plus

remaining year x .5

/2.5 = Academic score

 

students who have completed five or more years of a university program:

 

worst year eliminated

best two years' converted average each x 1 plus

all remaining years each x .5

/ by the total length =

Academic score

(e.g. 5 years/ 3, 6 years /3.5)

 

Less than full course load

 

Students who have taken less than five full courses (or 10 half courses) in any given year will be considered on the average of all courses taken during the regular academic session. The weighting formula will not be applied.
