CherryBlossom9 Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 Im an OOP, residing in Niagara Falls, ON, and I might be starting undergrad in Winter 2020 or Spring 2020 at University of Saskatchewan, but someone in a forum told me that if I join term 2 which is on January I won't be applicable for wGpa when applying to medical schools after I complete the Undergrad. So he suggested me to enroll from Fall term September 2020. **I wanted to start university as soon as possible because I'm applying as a Non Traditional student aged 22.** I also found similar answer here: http://forums.premed101.com/topic/62315-starting-university-in-january/?do=findComment&comment=720828 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicineLCS Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 wGPA calculations vary by school, but as a general rule, no, at least for that year. As far as I can tell, UofS doesn't have a course load requirement, but does require you co.plete a 4 year degree in 5 years. That being said, easing into University in spring, when some schools dont count courses, might be a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CherryBlossom9 Posted November 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 Thank you for your helpful comment. So that means I won't be applicable for wGPA for the year 2020 if I start from January (Winter) or May (Spring)? Some might say why I'm rushing it's because I'll be applying as a Non-Trad student at the age of 22 and if I start from Fall 2020 I'll be 23 by then, so it's like I have a gap year and also I'm getting old And I will be permanently moving to Saskatoon with my parents and they might buy a house there, and I really wanted to get into USask Medical School. Also what's a better program at USask as a Premed? Biology or Biomedical Science (Physiology and Pharmacology)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
