Chance me? cGPA: 3.05 (79% for UBC), L2/B2: 3.35, LSAT: 170

[blackeye]

Had a rough first two years of undergrad, hence my low cGPA. Third year was a 3.9 and fourth year is in that direction as well but isn't completed so it can't be included in the L2/B2 calculation (otherwise L2/B2 would be 3.9). Talked about the rough start in my applications.

Applied to UBC (index 91.54), Ryerson, Osgoode, Toronto, Western, Queens, Ottawa, Windsor. 

Would really like to get in this cycle. What are my chances?

You have good chances for Queen's and Windsor. For Ottawa and Western, chances are lower due to your cGPA. 91.51 was historically competitive at UBC but the recent cycle saw more 92+ scorers so I'd say it will come down to your PS.

You have a shot at Osgoode with a decent PS and strong softs. UofT seems a long shot. Did you apply access or general?

Thank you! Honestly, just needed to hear (or read) someone say I'd get at least one acceptance.

Probably the same as my cGPA because I'm currently in my 4th year! But if you mean my current 4th year grades + two other years, it's around 3.46!

How did you get 79% for UBC GPA?

When I use the Allard calculator I get 73.5.

Are you including your drops to get to 79?

Yeah I included my drops! But my cGPA is better in % form than 4.0 scale because I'm on the higher end of the ranges for the 4.0 scale so it looks better in % form if that makes sense? Is your cGPA similar to mine on the 4.0 scale?

Hey sorry I'm not really following what you're saying...

Using the calculator I posted they have a percentage for each 4.0 scale value.

I think I'm missing something.

I am also higher end of 4.0 scale so that's what drew my interest

So my school offers grades in % form. My cGPA on the 4.0 scale is converted using OLSAS’s % ranges to translate each individual grade to the 4.0 scale and then average them out. 

For UBC, I didn’t need to use their conversion tool, the thing you linked, because I already have %s from my school. So, I just dropped the courses you drop and calculated. Does this help?

I’m confused. How is a 3.05 cGPA a 79%?

Please read the thread above 🙂 definitely would not lie about my grades in % form if I told the truth in cGPA form. I’m on the higher end of the 4.0 to % conversions (like I got a 79 and not a 77 but they both translate to a 3.3). Plus, 79% includes drops.

I’m not accusing you of lying. Not sure what gave you that impression. I just look at the UBC chart and my 3.5 shows up as 78%. I just do t understand the conversion and what was mentioned above didn’t help clarify that.

OP's schools originally does percentage not 4.0 grades. So they have a 79% from their school. OSLAS converted that to the cGPA posted.

UBC will just take percentages from schools and not convert any further.
