a question for UfT students (or non uft that may know the answer)

[ukie]

how did your ROSI gpa compare to your gpa on AMCAS? A couple of my budies have mentioned that the rosi GPA tends to be slightly lower than those calculated for graduate/professional school .. not sure if this is the case for amcas. If someone knows please let me know

 

thanks

My AMCAS GPA is higher than my ROSI GPA (~0.05)...it doesn't seem like much, but it's the difference between 3.85 to 3.90 or 3.65 to 3.70.

did u happen to have a lot of lab courses?

My AMCAS is also higher (barely barely barely) than my U of T, and I do believe it has to do with the 4/3 weighting given to courses with lab.

From what i understand it is courses with labs... not lab courses.

It was because of lab courses.

 

did u happen to have a lot of lab courses?

 

Yes, I had 7 courses with lab (out of the 15 courses that I completed when I applied)...about half....wowww, in retrospect, I took a lot of lab courses...

Both. My courses with lab (e.g. biology and chemistry) and my lab courses (e.g. courses related to my specialty) were worth more credit, which boosted my overall and science GPA.
