Femto Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 wGPA right? I believe it would be wGPA for those that qualify, and cGPA for those that don't. So it is a combination. Yiiiiikes. I always thought it was closer to 3.90. Commence expectation lowering. Ya, I know eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liverpool Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Anyone know anything about the prospects of undergrads with 3.85-3.9 (weighted)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Femto Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Anyone know anything about the prospects of undergrads with 3.85-3.9 (weighted)? You will likely be around or slightly below average for the 60% academic component, assuming you don't have spectacular pubs/research, and so the rest will be left up to the 40% non-academic component. Deborah said that many 4.0s get rejected because they are lacking in the non-academic component. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funnyboy6 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Thanks for this link! Some GPA stats Deborah mentioned which I haven't seen before: 2011 Entering class: Grad GPA average 3.78 UG GPA average 3.94 I'm honestly not surprised by this...its UofT. They have a reputations for weighting academics heavily (that is not a bad thing IMO). If you look at their average matriculant GPA, it always hovers around 3.90. And this is dragged down by grads with lower GPAs. Frankly, I have only met 1-2 UG students who got an interview with <3.90 GPAs (and these were spectacular candidates). IMO, the major battle is maintaining such a high GPA while trying to juggle non-academics commitments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benge88 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 makes me feel a lot better with a grad wGPA of 3.88, and makes me feel better about being rejected with that wGPA in 4th year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
