arkragon Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 I was a UWO student and took only 0.5 credits of biochemistry (required for my program). Looking at the prereqs of other schools like UBC and UofT they want a 1.0 credit for biochemistry. Are my chances now zero for those schools and everything is banking on UWO (they require only 0.5 credits)? Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arkragon Posted April 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 cell bio counts It does?! Is there a way to confirm it? Just email the schools? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerpenguin Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 It does?! Is there a way to confirm it? Just email the schools? It's true, email U of T admissions about it but I used cell bio as the requirement for 1.0 of biochem... years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WomboCombo Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 Can confirm: cell bio counts. Powerpenguin's pretty old... but the cell bio can still be used aha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arkragon Posted April 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 After hearing the answers so far it seems like not all hope is lost! (of course I could take a summer course but that would be very unfavourable) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoastbestcoast Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 When you find out can you post if cell bio can count as 3 credits of biochem for UBC? Thanks!! and specifically which cell bio courses - biol 112? biol 200? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arkragon Posted April 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 So far, UofT stated "Yes. You can use any combination of courses which cover the topics listed on our website." I have yet to hear anything from UBC. I'll update this as time goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fakedoctor Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 cell bio 100% counts at uoft, I know many people who took cell bio with damjanowski as well as biochem with brandl and got in no problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jcro+ Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Take a summer biochem This or you can take it the following year. You just need to have those requirements before the 1st day of dental school/certain date before school starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
