Candie Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Just wondering, would it be worthwhile to apply this year (for the 2014-15 cycle) with a wGPA of 3.81 as IP and in the French stream? i.e. what are my chances vs. the number of other similar applicants? Also, is the entire interview conducted in French, or a specific number of questions? (Studied in French throughout high school and did my undergrad in Montreal including a research assistantship at UdeM, but have gotten rusty in the past couple of years) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you bothered writting the MCAT and considered applying broadly to many schools. Ottawa and Toronto have extreme GPA standards when compared to the norm.

airborne Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 I know 3 students that got in last year in the French stream with 3,75-3,80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goingplaid Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 I know 3 students that got in last year in the French stream with 3,75-3,80. To verify, are they French Stream or CNFS? GP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aetherus Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 The french stream has a mixture of GPA's. I have heard of people getting in to the french stream with 3.7 GPA. That being said, all the people I know (I'm currently studying at uOttawa) who have gotten interviews at uOttawa French stream have GPA's of 3.95+. Assuming you are from ontario, you have a chance (3.6 cutoff or something), however if you are OOP and not CNFS the cutoff was 3.89 this year.

poogle666 Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 I had pretty much the same wGPA and got an interview this year! I know people with much lower GPAs who got interviews. Many people who were invited & accepted hadn't used their french in a very long time. They will assess you on the content of your answers, not the quality of your french. Good luck!

Candie Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Thanks for the feedback, everyone! Glad to see that it's at least worth a shot, based on input from past years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
