Not a Troll Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Hi everyone, I'm kind of panicking because I've been working on my OMSAS application (almost complete) and I realized that University of Toronto will not count my summer course marks into the GPA (because I did not take at least 3 during the summer as a 'full course load'). I know my chances are slim... but is it impossible? I feel like the rest of my application is quite strong, and it's been a few years since undergrad so I believe my 'maturity' and academic abilities are far beyond what my uGPA says.. I understand how competitive entry to Toronto is, however. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 I believe they count your summer courses in your cGPA if you don't qualify for their weighting formula. So if you didn't take 5 courses a semester for every year in your undergrad, your summer courses will count towards your cGPA. Someone else can confirm though.

Not a Troll Posted September 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 that would be a relief if that's the case.. if anyone can confirm this I'd greatly appreciate it! I'll probably have to just call them on Monday to find out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, UofT doesn't count summer courses towards your GPA (unless you're in a Co-OP program, which has its academic years in the summer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 ^^^ there you have it OP. So its only if you are in co-op. Is UT the only school you want to apply to? How is your best/last 2 year undergrad GPA? Some schools only look at your last or best 2 year GPA so you should look into those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
