beasting Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I am currently in 2nd year at Uoft Scarborough. I have a cumulative GPA of 3.98 and by the end of the semester I should have a cumulative GPA of 3.99. I will be applying next year to UofT as a 3rd year. I am writing the February DAT but I'll probably be re-writing it in November for a 'serious' attempt. I hope to get about 20 in all scores (not going to be doing carving). If I get above 20 in all scores of the DAT and I apply with a 3.99 GPA , how good does my interview have to be for acceptance? I really want to get accepted in 3rd year!! I worked really hard for my GPA and I'd love to save a year! I do have a lot of extra curricular and sports involvement but that doesn't matter for UofT I guess, it was mostly just for fun.

reddishh Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 you'll get in with above average interview. But you're still in 2nd year so I would suggest you do some extra-curricular activities because that will def. help you do better in interview. Also, you'll prob. have better chance to score higher on DAT becasue you get a reading week to study for it whereas in November, you'll have to write in during your midterm period.

excited!! Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 If you have to make a strategic choice between extra currics and dat prep definitely go for the dat.... extra currics really can have zero weight in the interview - it's dependent on how you take your past life and extract details applicable to competencies so more is not necessarily better.

Yea that's true fair enough. I still have plenty of time to do extra currics and plus I already have good experience. For the interview can't you just make up experiences?

zap_man99 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 yes but its hard to make up the experience while on the fly and thinking about what u need to mention just doesnt bode that well unless it has happened to you or someone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleanup Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 With essentially a 4.0 GPA I think you'll be fine with even a less-than-average interview. It's the average GPA applicants (in the 3.85-3.9 range like me) who need at LEAST an average interview (and most likely better since there are so many people with grades like yours) to get in.
