Hi! In terms of how ORPAS calculates the cGPA/sGPA for Ontario schools, I am definitely on the lower end of the scale, too. According to ORPAS, my sGPA was 3.69 and my cGPA was 3.71. I went on exchange in my third year, and the grades I earned abroad were not counted in the calculations (they used grades from my second year to replace these). Surprisingly I have been waitlisted at Western and accepted at UBC! Of course, UBC's prerequisites are completely different from Ontario schools, and I expect that my GPA was higher with their method of calculation. However, asides from your GPA, I think having a lot of experience is crucial. I have 100+ hours of experience working with SLPs in two different specializations, I work as an RA for a professor who does SLP research, I volunteer as an RA in a linguistics lab, I have 100+ hours of volunteer experience in related fields, etc., etc. My point is, GPA isn't everything!

Hi everyone! They were making calls for UBC acceptances today! (I got in!) Best of luck to those who applied!
