Low 3.7 for an IP? Competitive?

[aspinstergoingbacktoschool]

How decent are my chance of getting an interview with a 3.73 GPA as an IP? The modes tend to be high for everyone but the IP averages are sensibly lower than their modes… would I be wrong to think it's not unusual for IP interviewees to be in the high 3.6 and low 3.7?

From reading interview invite threads from past years, I think you can definitely get an interview with a 3.73, as many people have done it with a GPA around that. From what I've seen though, people with high 3.6's and low 3.7's getting interviews all have pretty solid EC's, so how competitive you are will depend on that, as well as how favourably your "academic context" (7% of the pre-interview ranking) gets scored, and how well you do on CASPer. It's probably an uphill battle, but definitely doable! Best of luck!

My gut is that you have a decent shot assuming all things are equal, i.e., you do well in the other components.
