bubbles1004 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Hi, I'm a non-trad applicant (graduated from MSc. in 2014, been working since). I have a very low cGPA (3.39) and U of T wGPA (3.73). I've never imagined applying to U of T because my wGPA is very low compared to other applicants and average accepted GPA of 3.95. But I was wondering if there's anyone who was accepted with this GPA who has a course-based MSc? P.S. I've been productive in my 1-year course-based MSc although it is not research-based: high GPA (not sure if they count), scholarship, poster presentation, and have recently submitted first-author paper on my research (currently under review).Not sure if these would help in the application. Should I apply this coming cycle assuming I meet the MCAT cut-off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hartk48 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 You'll be placed in the Undergraduate pool, and your master's GPA will count as if you did an extra year... what would your GPA be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridian Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Masters courses/GPA will not be included in calculating your wGPA. As @hartk48 mentions, a course-based masters is still in the undergrad pool. Your 3.73 GPA is also still very much an outlier competitively for an interview. It is still worth a phone call to U of T admissions to see if you could be reviewed in the Graduate pool based on your post-Masters work/research experience.

hartk48 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 @Meridian are you sure the master's courses will not count towards the wGPA? I thought I read that on their website, though now I can't find it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
