Guest qwertyy Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Just out of curiosity, is that including all your years or only 2 best years? I'm also wondering about the same thing. How do U of T calculate application GPA if you're only doing 3 years of UG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
predental6452 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 I got rejected and I just don't get it. 3.86 GPA for my top 3 years Academic average - 25 PAT - 22. My academic average was in the 99th percentile - doesnt that count for anything? So devastated, I can't even comprehend it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they are REALLY looking for >3.90 GPA if you don't have masters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they are REALLY looking for >3.90 GPA if you don't have masters I know! It's so absurdly unfair! I finished molecular biology and genetics and didn't have much room to take "easy" electives to boost my average. I know tons of people who stayed unspecialized and had super high averages because they were able to choose more electives and they chose the easier ones. I really think they should take that into consideration during the selection process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDSDMD Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 GPA = 60% one section of DAT = 5% I was told that for AA and PAT calculations they just simply do (your score / 30) x 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are in your 3rd year of UG studies at the time of application then they look at your 1st and 2nd year marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your AA score is amazing, sure, but it doesn't really mean much since they just simply do 25/30 x 5 = your score for that section. 25/30 x 5 = 4.17 vs. 22/30 x 5 = 3.67 doesn't really make a whole lot of difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypothetically, if I apply with a 3.94 GPA + DAT score of 21 on each section + average score on interview, would I have a good chance? I'm just really worried about the interview because I am not very good at presenting myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So devastated, I can't even comprehend it I got bad news as well With these scores and GPA, you should have gotten an interview. I know someone who got an interview with a 3.7 GPA. Just doesn't make sense that you didn't get one. Its so stupid how competitive Canadian schools are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UWOhopeful7 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 When are the interviews? And when does Toronto start handing out acceptances? Anyone with interviews that got accepted at Detroit Mercy? I'm on the wait list and would love to fill up a seat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian dentistry GPA requirement is just as high as med school GPA. Funny thing is, for many American dentistry, your GPA needs to be just over 3.3 to be considered "most competitive" - which, of course, makes sense considering the number of schools and etc. etc. For Canadian dentistry, it seems you need a GPA of 3.90 to be considered "just competitive" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jameskim9 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 For those that were rejected with 3.89 or 3.88 did you use your summer courses in your gpa calculation? Because uoft DOES Look at your summer courses as well. even if you didnt include in your application paper, they will look at your transcript and include in your gpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHD Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 I got Rejected! GPA: 3.91 AA:20 PAT:20 I am wondering why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UWOhopeful7 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Hi all, just adding to this thread: Rejection and GPA: 3.89 AA: 22 PAT: 24 (IP) It really does look like you need 3.90+ for invites without masters/phd? I know someone in 3rd year with the same GPA and a lower PAT score and they got an interview. Really starting to question how Toronto picks people for interviews.

tksm8727 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Just out of curiosity, is that including all your years or only 2 best years? My GPA was based on my 1st and 2nd year. The way I understand GPA breakdown at U of T is the following: If you're a 3rd year student, U of T takes your 1st and 2nd year GPAs (including summer courses). If you're a 4th year student, U of T will take your 3rd year GPA and the better of your 1st and 2nd years GPA (summer courses included). Hope this helps.

412simba Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 just wondering if any1 has received any confirmation email after emailing admissions to confirm interview attendance? thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmflapem Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 I am thinking that it might be much easier to get two or more Nobel Prizes before being accepted to U of T dentistry. We should consider doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleanup Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Looks like competition is stuff this year. Keep in mind it just varies from year to year. I was admitted 2 years ago with a 3.87, 23AA, 26PAT. I imagine I'd have a tougher time if I had applied now. Don't let it discourage you guys. Took me two tries to get in.

We should consider doing this. Why stop there? Throw in multiple Olympic gold medals, the Medal of Honor, the Pulitzer, and an Oscar and you may get an interview, just maybe...

Unfortunately high DAT scores struggle to make up for even a .2, .3 difference in GPA. It's just how they weigh things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parachute Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Rejected. Second time being rejected...So devastated. 3.9 GPA with 22 AA and 20 PAT. I guess I really wasn't competitive enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
