lacoocoo Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Hey I feel not bad about my DAT scores. I have always done poorly on RC practice tests and I knew that would be my weak point for the test. But For western I met the 18 cut off (assuming it's going to be the same this year). What do you think my chances are for getting an interview or an acceptance at U of T or at Western? How about McGill? (cGPA I'm guessing around 3.73 and I'm Oop - didn't do too well first year) RC:18 Bio: 21 Chem: 21 AA: 20 PAT: 23 Grade: 88-89% GPA: 3.9 Thanks!

zap_man99 Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 what is your GPA for toronto? You should probably get an interview at UWO. Do well on the interview and you can get in imo (my stats were around yours) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacoocoo Posted December 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 My GPA for best two years is 3.9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zap_man99 Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 My GPA for best two years is 3.9 you will get interviews at both after that it will be up to your interviews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KEW Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Hi to both, RC - 18 BIO - 23 CHEM - 24 AA - 22 PAT - 19 GPA - ~89% for Western and 3.89 for UT. Only schools I applied to. According to stats for Western last year maticulants had average of 21 for RC and AA. I can't find anywhere about the proposed "cutoff" for RC and my heart is sinking like a tonne of rock. I really have no good feeling about my status this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zap_man99 Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 You should also get an interview. They don't weigh the DAT that high. But DAT avgs were high for interview so I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aravis Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Based on the stats from previous years, I'm pretty sure you would get an interview at UWO. The grey area for an interview is if you have an 18-19 RC and an 84-87% average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KEW Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Thanks people. Appreciate your insights. The infamous "piano" passage did me in and I guessed entire questions on last passage based on previous knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zap_man99 Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 i really doubt they change the cutoffs especially due to their changes in their application (must have a degree) for the past 2 years its been 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salar911 Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 I have a 91.45% average for the last 2 years....

isopropanol Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Long time lurker, first time poster... I'm applying to Mcgill, UofT, UWO, Dal this year. My 2 year percent gpa is 88.5% My 3 year gpa is 3.903 (also cgpa I guess) AA 23 PA 24 MDT 19 RC 22 What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerpenguin Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 INTERVIEW REQUIREMENTS: UWO: +86 best 2 year average, +18 RC UT: 3.85 best 3 year GPA, no DAT cutoff as far as I know, best to have at least around 21AA/21PAT. Then figure it out yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denwannabe Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 ok say if I apply 4th year to western, would they only look at my 2nd and 3rd or do they you a tentative offer, or something along those lines. Or would I have to wait to apply in my 5th year for them to look at 3rd and 4th year, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well assuming you took a full course load. First find the omsas conversion chart. Find your school. For U of T use column 3. Use the midpoint for each grade. Ie A+=95. then for full year courses times by 2 then half year courses times by 1. Then add together and divide by how many "half year equivalents" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 2 year percent gpa is 88.5% My 3 year gpa is 3.903 (also cgpa I guess) AA 23 PA 24 MDT 19 RC 22 What do you guys think? You will be good for U of T and uwo, not sure about dal if your mdt is low and what you need for oop. McGill will also depend on your ECs and references Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lacoocoo Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 How about McGill? (cGPA I'm guessing around 3.73 and I'm Oop - didn't do too well first year) Thanks! I was also wondering what my chances are like for McGill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zap_man99 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 i doubt u will get an interview, from avgs from last year they were quite a lot higher than 3.7 maybe unless you have extenuating circumstances and excellent LORS and ECs even then i think you might not get an interview-theyre really hard on OOP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddishh Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I don't think you can make it unless UWO changes their cutoff to 17 this year. But who knows? I guess your bet is to wait until they send out interview invitations which won't be till march Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
