Guest robyn Posted July 24, 2002 Report Share Posted July 24, 2002 does an in province (but not in Ottawa) applicant have a chance with a WGPA of 3.77 (applying after 3 years)? is it worth applying, or will that not meet the cuttoff? (year 1,2,3: 3.86, 3.76, 3.75) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JSS02 Posted July 24, 2002 Report Share Posted July 24, 2002 Even if you don't reach the cutoff you'd be REALLY close... maybe you should e-mail the admissions office and find out what the cutoffs have been in the past few years for Ontarians living outside of Ottawa. I think it should be in the 3.8-3.83 range. If they're around 3.8 (or less) then I think it's worth a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest UofCMeds2005 Posted July 24, 2002 Report Share Posted July 24, 2002 A combination of the WGPA and detailed autobio sketch (ie. Ottawa sketch) is used to determine if you get an interview. So, if you are a little low in the WGPA department then a strong autobio can give you the extra push you need for an interview. I believe that WGPA for people you are not from Ottawa tend to be in the 3.8+ range, but again they also leave some leway for excellent canidates with strong autobios. But, for the best info call the admin office... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diencephalon Posted July 24, 2002 Report Share Posted July 24, 2002 Hi JSS02 and U of C, I was under the impression that if you did not meet the cutoffs, regardless of whether you had a good autobio or not, you would be denied an interview?

Guest JSS02 Posted July 24, 2002 Report Share Posted July 24, 2002 I thought the way it worked was that you HAD to meet a certain cutoff before they would even read your autobio sketch. Maybe they'll look at a few that are a little below? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kirsteen Posted July 24, 2002 Report Share Posted July 24, 2002 Hi guys, When I spoke with someone at the Admissions Office a couple of weeks ago, she described exactly the scenario that JSS02 mentioned above. It may be worth it to give them a shout to clarify. Cheers, Kirsteen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
