Cerena Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Is this a 3.88 on a 4.0 scale? I think if it were anything less than a 3.88 you should be worried. *Serious face* Just kidding! You're flying, that's an awesome GPA and frankly, I feel like I've just swallowed a teaspoon of jealousy upon reading your awesome GPA Tastes like freshly ground coffee beans... ugh...

You're flying, that's an awesome GPA and frankly, I feel like I've just swallowed a teaspoon of jealousy upon reading your awesome GPA Tastes like freshly ground coffee beans... ugh... yeah exactly 3.88 on a 9.0 or 12.0 scale is not good... you need to boost that up if medschool is your goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehumanmacbook Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 are there 9.0 scales? I think if its a 3.88 out of OMSAS 4.0 scale, you're fine. If you're 3.88 on the 4.5 scale, then you have a problem...and if it's another kind of scale higher than 4.5, like charmer says...you have a serious problem.

thehumanmacbook Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Dear god you're right. That scale is weird... In any case, I'm sure if Toastman is calculating it on an OMSAS cGPA he should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curi0user Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Is a 3.88 GPA competitive enough? No you're screwed! Should just settle for basket weaving or something. I'm kidding, from a 4.0 scale, seems pretty stellar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOC_Ma Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 This really depends. Even if its your cGPA. If you havent taken a full load then this GPA will probably end up being your wGPA as well. Also if you did well in year one then bad in year two then your wGPA at ottawa is even lower than 3.88 that could also put you into the non-competitive category. And lastly it depends on your MCAt as well. IF you can't meet the cut off for the "MCAT schools" like queens and western then your 3.88 will be a bit below the average for the other schools that place heavier emphasis on GPA. So again it depends on a lot of factors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
