noneed2live Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 WGPA = 3.95 AA = 20, PAT = 20 My RC score was unfortunately a 17 and so I'm wondering if this hurts my application to U of T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally just gave him a proper answer. He's middle of the pack. He has a good chance since a lot of the class is chosen from there. Interview should be important for him and make or break him. Idk what he was expecting but his GPA is great, his scores are okay. I don't think I need to spell everything out considering we're all grown adults and can figure things out on our own or ask for an explanation if needed. But oh look you're not OP so if he understands what I was trying to say it really doesn't matter does it. Just saying... If you have any questions about how to prepare, interview process, etc just lmk op Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone directly involved in the interview process, I would not only lighten up a bit but also be a bit careful with your tact which may come off as a red flag on interview day.

ysoNaCly Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 So my understanding is if you are applying in your fourth year they look at your last 3 years gpa for interview selection and then they drop your lowest year for admission selection. Does that mean you have to send them an updated transcript post interviews or how does it work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise they will take all 3 years for GPA calculation. They will ask for transcripts post-interview should you receive an offer so that you can meet their conditional offer.

I thought they only dropped it after you completed 4 or more years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WomboCombo Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 Longhaul is correct. For example, I applied as a 4th year and my 2nd year (my worst year) was dropped. Summer courses in the term immediately after the academic year also count as part of the same year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to be annoying, but to clarify does this mean if you're currently in 4th year and your most recent completed year (3rd) is not your lowest then they will drop your worst year and calculate your average from the other 2 years? My worst year is also my second year, does this mean my GPA for UofT is actually the average between my 1st and 3rd year? Also, are averages rounded up? Thanks again.

Averages should be rounded to the nearest hundredth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize I've been calculating my GPA wrong this whole time then lol. In your opinion, if my wGPA is 3.98 do you think this is enough to off-set a 21 AA and 18 PAT?
