Neuroscience Mcgill = Good Cru?

Hi guys

 

I was wondering if the neuroscience program at McGill gives a good CRU, seeing that it's a difficult program to get into and you need a 33 r score. The reason I ask is that I'm waitlisted for physiotherapy at McGill and the deadline to pay for the program I've been accepted in at udem ends today. So, I figure instead of paying for udem and then having to pay McGill (700$ total) I can register for neuroscience which I already got into and then transfer the deposit once I get into PT. the issue is, if I don't get into PT ( which I doubt because I have a higher r score than the cutoff by 1+ unit) I want to be sure that neuroscience gives a good CRU so I don't get stuck. Other options I have are physiology at McGill which I think can be switched to any major (biochem, pharmaco, microbio, etc)

 

Thanks!

Regardless of the program, attending McGill in itself will disadvantage you anyway since your GPA will be on 4.0 and will either not be converted (Sherbrooke) or partially be converted (Laval). Unless the program you've been accepted into at UdeM is really weak, that would be the way to go.

As per Sherbrooke:

 

Voici les réponses vos questions:

 

1. oui le barème va être converti pour que votre dossier soit jugé équivalent aux autres candidats.

Nous ne faisons pas le calcul nous-mêmes, les spécialistes de l'Université de Sherbrooke ont élaboré des formules qui font que tous les candidats sont jugés également que la cote maximale soit sur 10, sur 20, sur 100, sur 4 ou sur 4, 33. Chaque université à son barème et la calculette de l'UdeS fait l'équivalence qui convient, mais nous ne pouvons vous expliquer la formule.

Well, this is dumb. Let's all go the McGill and get a free unearned 5% (since 4,3 now is 85%) when applying to french universities.

I think McGill professors consider that an A is 85% and make sure that class averages remain pretty low, i.e 85% is the new 90%.

Also, I'm in physical therapy at McGill and I got over 90% in all of my classes, so technically, I would get a 4.3 but I got a 4.0. 

Anyways, there is no reason to complain since you're already in medicine, I'm sure all of the university's decisions are justified with strong arguments and research.
