oreo Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 UofA just calculated my cGPA, and it is much lower than I expected: 3.55. Does anybody know of anyone who ever got an interview with such a low gpa? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
future_doc Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Everybody loves an oreo! I think the stats show the answer is yes but I never specifically checked on the point you are raising oreo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oreo Posted December 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Thanks, f_d! I'm still shocked by the calculation, other universities calculated it much higher. I'm having a hard time believing that UofA will even grant me an interview with such a low gpa, whenever I read here I see that the unofficial cutoff is at ~3.7-3.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jochi1543 Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Depends on what the rest of your app is like. Hopefully good. I had an interview with a 3.61/3.66 last year (rejected, though, due to GPA). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oreo Posted December 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Jochi, so what you're saying is that last year they gave you an interview but basically you never even stood a shot due to your gpa?! I can only hope my app is really good, but there's no telling. I'm not very optimistic at the moment:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medguy5367 Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Are you a four year applicant? What was your GPA like for each year??? (Straight from your transcript) Was it much higher than 3.55? I am just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not very optimistic at the moment:( Yeah, all my other scores were at or above the admitted average (that's May 15 admissions, not all people admitted). I'm sure if I had like a 45 MCAT instead of a 32, I would've most likely gotten in, but being just average wasn't enough with the 3.61. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostLamb Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Yes, I interviewed last year with a cGPA lower than that (4 yr IP applicant). However, I had a good pre-req GPA...without that, I don't know how my app will fare this year. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sv3 Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 UofA just calculated my cGPA, and it is much lower than I expected: 3.55. Does anybody know of anyone who ever got an interview with such a low gpa?thanks isnt the average accepted gpa 3.8? 3.55 doesn't sound that bad if your pretty strong in the other categories (as in above the average of those accepted so you can make up for the GPA. ......at least that is what i'm hoping for!) PS - my gpa is less than yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
