coolestdentist Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 BASICALLY I went to a university in Alberta for 2 years and completed 62 credits at that institution with a GPA of 3.69 GPA scale of 4.0 = 94%+ and 3.7 = 90-94 and 3.3 = 85-90 I have written down all the percentages that I have received in those courses it adds to 91 % then I switched transferred instituions, completed 15 credits and received a GPA of 3.17 (something bad happened) GPA scale of 4.0 = 90+, 3.7 = 85-90 and 3.3 = 80-85 and 3.0 = 75-80 and 2.7 = 70-75 I also checked recorded my percentages and received a percentage of 78% in averaging these two scores with respect to the credits represented I have an average percentage of 88.46 % MAIN QUESTION If I applied to a university like Mcgill would they convert my cGPA based on their own GPA scale: 4.0 GPA = 85%+ ???????????????????????????

hchc Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Yeah, each school handles gpa calculations according to their own formula. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolestdentist Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 so then, by calculating my cGPA according to my percentages and the Mcgill GPA scale: I would currently have a 3.82 cGPA where my Alberta cGPA would be 3.54. So being out of province still, would I be competitive for an interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty high for OOP! The lowest GPA of interviewed out-of-province candidates was 3.85 Last year, they accepted 6 OOPs and 20 IPs and the class consisted of a total of 26 students.
