mcmac Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Hi guys, I am in need of advice. A GPA of 3.84 seems to be the norm at McMaster. This has me a bit nervous. I have just finished my undergrad & my cumulative GPA is low for the school (3.82). Yes, I have seen students who have been accepted with GPAs below 3.84 but they seem to be the minority. I am pretty sure I could get my GPA to 3.83 by the end of the summer, possibly 3.84 if I enrolled in enough courses. CARS and CASPER aside... how big of a difference do you think a 3.84 would make versus a 3.82? It is no big deal for me to enroll in a bunch of summer school credits at all. I am just wondering if I am wasting my $ and energy. Thank-you so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robclem21 Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 By the odd chance this is a real post, you would be wasting your time and money with summer courses to boost your GPA 0.02. It will make the smallest difference in your application. Time would better be spent prepping for CARS and CASPer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterfly_ Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Your GPA is competitive enough. Don’t worry too much about it. Just make sure your cars and Casper score is high. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goleafsgochris Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Look at the accepted stats. A single point in cars is worth waaaaaaaaaay more than that GPA difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pakoon Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Not to restate the obvious, but the only time you should ever try to change something so minor is to reach a cutoff. Looking at the stats your GPA is in a good place, it's definitely worth more to boost your CARS and Casper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poslkdf Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 Is my GPA of 3.76 good enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to assess your application as a whole. If you have a lower GPA you'll need a higher CARS score and CASPer score! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
