Soon2BeMD Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Hi guys, What do you think are my chances for next year's application cycle if I have a wGPA of 3.91? I have decent extracurriculars + volunteering/research. I got an interview at mcgill this year but was refused post interview unfortunately. Should I apply into the french stream or english stream? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m_jacob_45 Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Definitely apply. With a good CASPer, you definitely have a chance at interviewing. I interviewed at Ottawa with a 3.92, so you're not far off assuming your ECs are good. About the two streams, the French stream has a lower gpa requirement, but there are fewer spots, so there are pros and cons. Also, I would only apply to the French stream if you are 100% comfortable learning in French and rotating at French speaking hospitals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottawa_Is_life Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 If I had an option of applying to French stream, I would definitely apply to that one. However, your wGPA is great for English stream as well. One of my friends I prepared CASPer with had a 3.90 wGPA and got an interview. CASPer has been a game changer this year! GOOD LUCK, definitely apply! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sincere Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Your wGPA is competitive at Ottawa U... ESPECIALLY in the French stream. So, if you are comfortable in French ( the interview is exclusively in French - with a couple of english questions if you state you're bilingual in your application), then I say go for it. Just so you know, once you apply to one stream, that's it, you can't switch. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
