shepp11 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 I've search through these threads and havent found what I have been looking for which is a list of all canadian schools and their weighting systems if they have any at all.

That spreadsheet you've created has a lot of useful information. I did find some of the information I was looking for in that thread. What I was aiming for was systems each school uses to get their wGPA. there is lots of information about all of the Ontario schools but I was having trouble finding anything on schools outside of Ontario. I found out UBC uses your best 90 credits, which I assume is your best three years if you have a four year degree. I am still curious about the other schools in Canada though. Thanks for your reply!

souljaboy Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Why don't you go on each school's website and see for yourself? A lot of people on this forum keep asking questions that can be easily answered by taking 5 minutes to look at the school's website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exocytosis Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 For Ontario schools: UofT: Drops one full credit for each year complete as long as you have taken a full courseload EVERY year. I'm not sure if there is a limit to that (i.e. if you take 6 years do you drop 6 credits, or is it capped at 4). Queens: If you don't meet the last cGPS cutoff they look at your last two years. Must have at least 3.0 credits (might be specifically at least 3 per semester...?) Western: Two best years with 3/5 credits at your courseleve; or above (in your 4th year, 3rd/4th year classes both count as your 'year level'). Must have 5.0 credits in each year used. Must be from the same degree (?). Can only do one special year post degree with its own zany set of requirements. Ottawa: ((last year * 3) + (2nd last year * 2) + 3rd last year) / 6. Nosm: Not weighted, but only look at your best degree + add 0.2 for a grad degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you happen to know off the top of your head schools outside of Ontario that have systems like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exocytosis Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Dal takes your last (?) two years I think. Other than that I don't know, but I think there are others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepp11 Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 What do you mean by systems like this? Schools that do not use a cumulative GPA but have a unique way of calculating a weighted GPA (best two years, drop worst year, etc..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
