Do Top Canadian Colleges Consider American GPA or ACT?

[CollegeFreak9488]

So these schools do not consider freshman and sophomore grades at all when calculating my GPA? For instance, if I had a 3.11 Weighted GPA for freshman and sophomore year, is this number not taken into consideration in terms of admission?

@bouders

Canadian universities first look at your junior year grades. If those aren’t sufficient to admit you, they wait for your first semester senior year grades, reassess and then to decide to admit or wait for your second semester interim grades and so on.

A 3.4 unweighted GPA would be about the minimum I would recommend applying for less competitive programs at U of T or McGill. For those programs a 28 ACT may be sufficient. For more competitive programs like engineering/commerce/computer science, 3.7 GPA and 30 ACT would be the minimum.
