FOR the QUEENS people...sorry i cant differeniate between scale 1 and 2. but i can give you my personal guarantee that 80+ is 4.0 according to AMCAS at Queens....

But I still like the AMCAS scale, it treats people with 70s a lot nicer than U of T. I know this is bashing, but I go to U of T so oh well, I think it's ridiculous that a 72% is a 2.7. Sure, it's not great, but why sooooooo lowww?

UWO and Queens scale treats people with 80-85 better.

if your marks are in the 70s, the UOFT scale treats you better. 70-74 =3.0, 75-79 = 3.3. UWO or Queens will give you only 3.0 even if you have a 79.

but AMCAS treats you better than the stupid OMSAS scale

That's not correct. UofT is

70-73 = B- = 2.7
74 -76= B = 3.0
77-79 = B+ = 3.3


I had a 76 on my transcript and if it's the way you have listed then my AMCAS GPA would have been different than UofT's.

Edited to add: I don't know about the other UofT (C, D etc) grades but I don't think those are right either...

my bad. i double checked you are right. edited the post to reflect that. It was late last night and i presume since mcgill and ubc were the same, uoft would be too...so i just copied pasted it. it looks like uoft does indeed have the worst scale.

People who are applying from the school are contributing this info.
There is obviously no guarantee, the only way you can know 100% sure without a doubt (if you have trust issues lol) is by applying yourself.
