drsdoitwithpatience Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 yes, their autobiographical sketch cut off is a complete mystery to those outside of the admissions committee. But are there any stats to this --> how many ppl actually pass the gpa cut off and advance to the autobiographical sketch cut off, and actaully get the interview? Or is it just a hollistic thing where they score you on gpa and autobiographical sketch together to offer an interview? Any insights? I'd say my gpa is on the higher end of the specturum, so academically, it shouldnt be a problem but autobiogrpahical sketch....yea....thats another story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phear8 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Last year I was rejected from Ottawa because of my ABS. The rejection e-mail said I made all the academic criteria...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

<abstract> Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Really? Ottawa gets 3500 applicants per year...are you saying that 2000 of them didn't meet the GPA cutoff? I thought ~1000 get cut, and then 2500 are left, from which they interview 600. I hope what you wrote is true though, as it greatly improves my chances. Its seems legitimate since they don't post their cutoffs so most people who apply don't know and apply anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qw098 Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Any idea what you guys think the wGPA cutoff is? And it is a wGPA cutoff right, not a GPA cutoff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funnyboy6 Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 about 1300 applicants met the wgpa cutoff and 600 were interviewed. Damn...only 1300/3500? Wow! So if you meet the cutoffs, you have an approx. 1/2 chance of getting an interview. I guess the key is meet those wGPA cutoffs. Wonder what they'll be this year.
