zxcccxz Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 So I completed 4.5 credits (4 courses first semester and 5 courses second semester) in my first year of university. I will be graduating with a full course load in every other semester of every year however. Does my having dropped one course in the first semester of first year disqualify me from the wGPA formula for all years or just in my first year (i.e., do I get my lowest 3.0 FCE's dropped from years 2,3,4 or do I get nothing?). I will be taking 6 FCE's in first semester next year to make up for the one course I dropped during first year, so I will still graduate with the full 20 credits in 4 years. I had a 4.0 GPA first year, so I don't need any FCE's dropped from it, but it would really suck if I'm disqualified from getting FCE's dropped in other years :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardiacArrhythmia Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Unfortunately, it does disqualify you from the wGPA. UofT requires you to have a full course load in all your academic years in order to recieve the weighting calculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebird Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Even if you are disqualified from weighting it doesn't mean you can't get an interview/acceptance. I dropped a course in second year (and I didn't have a 4.0 in any academic year). And I got two interviews at UofT the two years that I applied and got accepted this year. So don't worry too much, if you have good grades you have a shot just make sure you spend a lot of time on the other aspects of your applications!
