low cGPA

Recommended Posts

So my cGPA for all 4 years will probably be 3.5-3.6. I am potentially going to take an 5th year, so that should make it go up a little bit as well (very little). I have decent ECs but at this point, I feel like GPA is very heavily looked at. For whatever reason, if I do score an interview, is GPA still looked at? I just dont know how I can improve this GPA, which is the only thing that is dragging my application down.

You need to read a little further and understand that most schools use some form of weighting to establish a wGPA. Queens (last 2), UoO (last 3), Western (best 2);  UofT (drop x courses), etc.  Your GPA may be better than you think already.  A fifth year can absolutely help improve your GPA.   As you already realize, GPA is very important to an interview.  If you can get to +3.8 wGPA you may be in the hunt at some schools if you have a strong MCAT(CARS).
