zap_man99 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 you dont have a good change (if any chance)-i dont think people with 85%s get interviews even... sorry try improving your GPA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerpenguin Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 I don't know what will happen this year since only students that will have degrees at the end of this year can apply, but last year only students with 86+ average received interviews. The overall entrance class average was 89.15. Many believe that it will drop a bit this year, but unfortunately I don't think by a margin as large as 5%. Try looking into australian and US schools.

donnadee Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Hey everyone, what do you think my chances are? I went to York U for undergrad and used the following scale based on OMSAS to calc %: A+:95 A:84.5 B+:78 B:74.5 C+:68 ..... best 2 years % is 82.06 and 81.65, ave= 81.85 Still waiting on DAT scores thanks you may have a shot at UofT...however: whats your best 3 yrs (must include last year) gpa? you may need to do a masters to improve your chances..

reddishh Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 honestly, I've never seen anyone who goes to York getting this low mark. Along with Western, isn't York where everyone is supposed to get 4.0 gpa easily? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with Western, isn't York where everyone is supposed to get 4.0 gpa easily? lol. I'm taking kin courses at york now, and class averages are in the 60's. Lot's of people do poorly at York.. not because it's hard, but because of the types of students that go there. I've been to 3 schools and york students are definitely different...

futurepediatric Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I have a somewhat unrelated question ... For York's GPA system, Since 81-89% is 3.8/4 does OMSAS and schools out of Ontario Convert the lower 80s to 3.7 and higher 80s to 3.9 or does the whole range of 80s stay at 3.8?

McMarauder Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 As far as I know, your York transcript will not include percentages. It will only show the letter grades. 80-89 will appear as an A. What the other provinces do with that is uncertain. I have a somewhat unrelated question ...

So percentages are never signifcant or you'll never even see your grade percentage (if you go to York)?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMarauder Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 correct. there's a lot of schools that will just give the students the letter grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurepediatric Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 correct. there's a lot of schools that will just give the students the letter grade. That's not a bad trade off- 81-89% for an A But are you sure they don't ever use percentage grades, like for awards/scholarships I thought they give a cerain about for 80-84 and a higher amount for 85-89% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMarauder Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 They would convert it to a percentage by taking the midpoint of the range that letter represents A+ = 90-100 --> 95 A = 80-89 --> 84.5 edit: YorkU will never give you a percent. Depending on the schools that you apply, they MAY convert your GPA to a percentage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's what people mean when they say it sucks to get an 89 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMarauder Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I don't understand why York doesn't have minus grades. An A would be worth so much more. A+ = 90-100 -->95 A = 85-89 --> 87 A- = 80-84 --> 82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
