kin_kid Posted March 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Only applied to Queen's and UofT in Ontario. Queen's is pretty ambiguous and Toronto, got to get passed the CAP still. I feel confident on getting an interview though. What about outside of Ontario? Do you have a preference for any school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtn Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 What about outside of Ontario? Do you have a preference for any school? Probably UBC...merely based on proximity. I'm not sure if I would want to move out of BC if I don't have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that ubc sends out offers before most intro schools. I'm just playing the devils advocate, but would you bother attending uofts cap if you get into ubc?

PThopeful Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Just so everyone knows, the U of T CAP invites go out on March 29 by 10 a.m. http://www.physicaltherapy.utoronto.ca/admissions/how-to-apply/important-dates I think they just updated the date in the last hour or two.

I'm just playing the devils advocate, but would you bother attending uofts cap if you get into ubc? I would still attend UofT's cap. I've never been to Toronto so it would give me a good excuse to visit and make a trip out of it. I would still consider going to UofT even if I got accepted into UBC. I would give myself some time rather than immediately accept the first offer that came my way. However, If I did get accepted to UBC, I would probably not attend the UofA MMI. That one falls in the middle of my exam period and I'm not super keen on Edmonton. @PThopeful - Thanks for the heads up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
try Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Can you guys please post once you have heard back from Mac about MMA interviews? I don't think I will hear back from Mac or U of T considering my 3.61 this year. I'm hoping I have the magic formula that Queen's is looking for.

If you're looking for MMA interviews you're in the wrong forum . But yes, ppl will probably post once they get the invites to UT and Mac MMI interviews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the heads up. 1048 people applied this year (14 less than last year). Anyone care to guess what that means for the GPA cutoff?

JulieC Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 I probably won't be getting an invitation either - just reviewed the states to the previous link with update info from u of t. considering last yr's cut off was 3.68... I can't imagine it anything below 3.7 for this yr. Does anyone know of applicants who have been able to "slip" through these gpa cut-offs for whatever reason? e.g. someone with a below cut-off range getting acceptance?... just curious. praying for queens!

Here's the link: http://www.physicaltherapy.utoronto.ca/admissions/how-to-apply#Application Statistics I'm actually gonna say the GPA cutoff will be lower.

Around 3.65...Pure speculation lol I was thinking the same thing, maybe even down to a 3.63 I probably won't be getting an invitation either - just reviewed the states to the previous link with update info from u of t. considering last yr's cut off was 3.68...

I haven't heard of anyone slipping through the cutoffs with a lower GPA. From what I know the cutoffs are hard. What's your gpa? Maybe you can try taking some courses to boost your subGPA. I've heard of some success stories that have gone that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieC Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Not high enough - around 3.6 basically. Not too proud of it. Taking extra courses to boost gpa requires a lot of work - you need about a full yr's worth of courses to significantly change anything. But if it comes down to it - I would totally do it. Just sucks to have to wait another yr... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnny Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 I was thinking the same thing, maybe even down to a 3.63 Why so low? Also, with this new information on less applicants to UT... I wonder how this will impact Western. Ie. Less applicants to UWO as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I curse the day western decided to change their admission req's aka... no related experience or volunteering is need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheepE Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Well I guess UT will send their CAP invites on the 29/30th since the cutoff will be posted on the 29th. Wonder if Mcmaster will do the same... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philly Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 It's just a hunch I have. Sooner or later somethings gotta give, the GPAs can't be that high every year. I think this is the year that it drops a bit. Number of applicants did not deviate much from last year, so I'm going to predict that the GPA will be around the same as next year, at most it will fluctuate 0.02 above or below 3.68 from last year.

wings101 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 I'll have to agree and say that the cutoff does not fluctuate 0.02 above or below last year. I think every year more and more applicants have gotten the memo and realize how competitive this program is. Would not be surprised if cutoff is 3.7 though.
