maenyt Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 I've got a question about the Academic Explanations essay at UofT: I'm planning on applying this coming year but am concerned as I am not eligible for wGPA (I never took a full course load and instead took summer courses due to my chronic illness) and my current cGPA is 3.89.... all due to one calculus course I ended with a 70 in due to failing the final exam during an illness flare-up. Without that one course, my cGPA *would* have been 3.95. If I had been eligible for wGPA, I'd have a 4.00. I'm very concerned that despite having an otherwise strong application I will be disadvantaged due to this one course. What should I do? Would you advise I write the Academic Explanations essay? How else can I rectify this awful mistake? Thank you in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eudaimonia Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 You have nothing to lose by writing the essay. How it will affect your file is at the discretion of the committee and they will not disclose how your evaluation will change, but definitely write it!
