keepingitreal Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Hey guys, does anyone know the WGPA cutoff for out-of-province applicants to Ottawa U? Sorry if this has been asked before, I couldn't find a recent thread for out-of-province applicants. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virgil Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Hey guys, does anyone know the WGPA cutoff for out-of-province applicants to Ottawa U? Sorry if this has been asked before, I couldn't find a recent thread for out-of-province applicants. Thanks! 3.87. Note that being above the cutoff doesn't necessarily guarantee you an interview so you better have good ECs. I had a 3.89, am an Ottawa region applicant (cutoff is supposedly 3.7) and was rejected pre-interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capillary Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 That cutoff is just for the years they're counting right? Those last 3 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotASerialKiller Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 That cutoff is just for the years they're counting right? Those last 3 years? Every school that has a wGPA uses it for cutoffs as long as they qualify for the wGPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keepingitreal Posted August 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Thanks for your responses! So just to confirm, if you have above a 3.87, you'll automatically get a file review? In that case, would the GPA no longer be considered as long it's above the cutoff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowWhite Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 If you are above 3.87 you will get a file review, but that does not mean you will get an interview. And if you do get an interview, you GPA will have some impact on how you are ranked post-interview. For ex: let's say you and another person get the exact same interview score. In order to rank you, they use both your GPA's. If yours is higher, then you get placed above the other person. So having a higher GPA helps and having a lower GPA can negatively impact you (especially if you are placed on a waitlist). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybenow Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Ottawa is big on GPA and Queens likes ECs. If you're applying as an OOP applicant and your cutoffs meet Ottawa's GPA requirements, how much would your ECs (if they're strong) help you then? I know the broad answer of course, but if you guys have more subjective/specific thoughts that'd be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neuroking Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 There's no such category as OOO any more. Just one category of IP including ottawa and cutoff is 3.85. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatMedGyal Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 If anyone wants to know, the cut-off for Outaouais region in the French Stream has not changed and is still 3.60/4.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybenow Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Ottawa is big on GPA and Queens likes ECs. If you're applying as an non Ottawa-ian applicant and your cutoffs meet Ottawa's GPA requirements, how much would your ECs (if they're strong) help you then? Can anyone help?

simlbel Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 If anyone wants to know, the cut-off for Outaouais region in the French Stream has not changed and is still 3.60/4.00 Do you know the cut-off for Quebec resident applicants out of Outaouais region in the French Stream?

rmorelan Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Can anyone help? hugely - I mean that is the point. about 2000 applicants meet the GPA cut off and they interview roughly what 25% of those? ECs are the most important thing after that GPA comes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMislove Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Yeah, and 2 of my items won't be scored cause I messed up :'(. Praying to the med school admin gods that the rest can make up for it xD. Some people get an interview with 0 research items, so I think I might still be good xD.

In what way did you mess up those 2 items? (spelling, or forgot to add them, or what). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMislove Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Ah stupid mistake. One thing was for credit, another thing was as i was exiting high school, so not undergrad. I'm just kicking my self in the butt about it because I could have switched them for stuff I did in my first undergrad, I just had stronger things to say about the 2 I chose. Worst part is i KNEW about the whole undergrad thing, it just didn't process in my brain properly until it was too late xD. I was planning on re-applying next year anyway as it's after I am done my second degree. Add a few more schools to apply to because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
