MDPLZ Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Hello, Queens says they calculate two different GPA's, the CGPA and the 2yr GPA... which is used? I am confused. What does this mean for someone like me; My 2yr GPA will likely be extremely high but my CGPA will be VERY low... what does this mean for my application? I would love for someone to share their experiences and or clarify. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaeger Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 They see if your cGPA makes their GPA cutoffs (which varies year to year). If it doesn't, then they look at if your 2yr GPA makes the GPA cutoff. So if you have either one of them that are high, you'll be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDPLZ Posted July 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Does this only apply if I have 4 years of University done? Must I have a degree? How does that work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey D. Luffy Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 You don't need to have a degree. If you have 4 years of University done, Queen's will calculate 2 separate GPA's for you. One GPA will be your cumulative GPA with all your courses from all 4 years (not including summer courses). The second GPA will be the GPA of courses only done in your last two years (in your case, years 3 and 4, not including summer). Out of these two separate GPA's, only one of them needs to surpass Queen's unknown cutoff. If one of those GPA's satisfies their cutoff, that is good enough, and GPA is no longer considered. I hope this clarifies things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
