does anyone know for the gpa that is displayed on ucan later if it is the weighted gpa (ex worst year dropped) or just cgpa?

It will be the weighted gpa.

I'm kinda relieved to hear from Dr. Ian Walker, the silence was getting to me.

 

I never did figure out how UofT grades converted to Cal Med GPA? Anyone willing to shed some light on this? I've read the manual but I'm still uncertain. When I filled out my application, I called the secretary and she told me to fill it out in w/e way that will result in a higher GPA.

Last year there was just a GPA (with worst yr dropped, if applicable) and no cGPA. They still did not include any years with fewer than 24 credits.

That's pretty much it. You had to enter every single course (even summer), and because UofT transcripts show both a % grade and a letter grade, you could put either one. It is in your best interests to put the letter grade, because an A was 4.0 while an 85% was less (was it 3.9 or 3.7? can't remember)

 

As for dropping a year or whatnot, that's their job.
