iwh333 Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 For Alberta, my gpa comes out to be ~3.8 with the lowest year removed. I don't think this is nearly high enough for an OOP to get an interview, so I'm wondering what you guys think. Too bad I wasn't IP. Thanks guys.

Apixaban85 Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Alberta's GPA scale remains an unknown. It doesn't seem to correlate with my OMSAS GPA nor any other variant. I remember last year someone had some strange formula that came close to Alberta's GPA system. So take that into account as well For reference, here are some stats from when I applied last year of the OOP applicants who DID get interviews: Average cGPA of OOP intervieews: 3.97 Average Personal activities score: 8.94 (highest score was a 13.00) Average MCAT score: 11.57 Writing Sample Average: R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnb88 Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Alberta's GPA scale remains an unknown. It doesn't seem to correlate with my OMSAS GPA nor any other variant. I remember last year someone had some strange formula that came close to Alberta's GPA system. So take that into account as well If you have letter grades, UofA uses: A/A+=4.0 A-=3.7 B+=3.3 B=3 B-=2.7 C+=2.3 (I think) C=2.0 C-=1.7 And I'm not sure about Ds. Fs are obviously a 0. As for percentage grades.... I'm not totally sure. My guesses: 90-100=A/A+ 85-90=A- 80-85=B+ 75-80=B 70-75=B- 65-70=C+ 60-65=C 55-60=D+ 50-55=D <49=F From there, the letter grade would correspond to the first set of conversions. I have no idea if this second one is correct (it's pure hunch) so definitely don't assume it's correct. The first set is for sure definitely 100% correct though. That much I know for sure. Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamone Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 ^^^ From my own experience and from other people I know, the percentage conversion is basically the same as the letter grade conversion, after changing percentages to corresponding column 7 letter grades on the OMSAS scale: http://www.ouac.on.ca/docs/omsas/c_omsas_b.pdf. So 80+ would always be equivalent to A- or better. It doesn't convert exactly., but it would be closer than what cnb has there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithril Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 I had a 4.00 based on Alberta's scale. I'm not even sure how. I have a couple of B+s on my record and half a dozen A-s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
