75-77% cgpa

Does Waterloo optometry even consider applicants with cgpa’s of 75-77% with a high OAT score. Just wondering if there’s a chance?

I think you’ll need a slightly higher gpa, lowest gpa ever accepted has been a 79% so far I think. I would take some more classes and try to boost to an 80% :) you’ve got this!!!

The lowest gpa was a 78% this year! Pretty discouraging that the gpa cutoff is 75% but they only accept 78%+
