doc123 Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Hi guys, I was looking for a general opinion on my competitiveness for UofT. My 3 year GPA works out to be around 3.87 and my DAT AA is 22 and PAT of 19. I am currently a med student in the US but want to switch into dentistry in Canada, really doubt that would make any difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longteethgriffy Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 For my year, the average GPA for all the undegrad kids worked out to be mid 3.90s. Not sure if anything would change since you're coming from the states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WomboCombo Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 1) Are you sure you want to switch to dentistry? 2) OMSAS GPA is what U of T uses. Is 3.87 OMSAS GPA? 3) You may interview with those stats but you would be ranked closer the bottom of the interviewees heading into the interview. However, the interview is going to matter much more at that stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree - and additionally, if you get to interview stage the med school experience from the states will give you good material content for your interview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On their website it says the average gpa was around 3.85 last year, so not sure how mid 3.9 was reported by another user. I'll apply and see what happens! Thanks guys! Is my DAT score limiting?

jillsmiles Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 I think your DAT score is not limiting in the least! Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was reported by me because I'm actually in the class and Stein's;Gate actually has access to that info lmao... Also you can see the website is lagging in info by about a year or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WomboCombo Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 The website is not really updated. I don't even think they have posted the statistics for the class of 2021. I can safely say that the accepted GPA was 3.93 (incl. Masters and PhD students which get their own bonus). So the GPA of undergrads who received acceptance is in the mid 3.9s. Anecdotally, based on speaking to my classmates, they all were in the mid 3.9s. A 3.87 still warrants a application to the program but I personally know individuals with that GPA and a decent DAT who did not interview. Hope this helps.

WomboCombo Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 Now you may think people accepted off the waitlist had a lower GPA but from the people I know who got off the waitlist (including yours truly), average undergrad GPA was in the mid 3.9s. I recall in the interview email that the average GPA invited for interviews was a low 3.9 (once again not accounting for a bonus for Masters or PhD). Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My GPA was 3.80 and I got in straight away. Plus, it probably wouldn't hurt that you're in Med school either how could they say no to jesus though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
