Renin Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Thanks, Renin! I'm trying to think positively p.s. "drafted" into med school! haha! Yeah... I think I told someone in education I wasn't returning in the fall, and in their words... "Drafted into the big leagues! Congrats" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
med88 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 quick question: since the B.Ed is an undergraduate degree, can the marks we obtain be used to calculate our med school GPAs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sethy Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 quick question: since the B.Ed is an undergraduate degree, can the marks we obtain be used to calculate our med school GPAs? It depends. Queen's BEd program is completely pass/fail, so no, those marks are not used in calculating a med school GPA. In fact, if I remember correctly, I seem to remember a part in the OMSAS booklet saying something along the lines of "graduates of professional programs (ie. education, law, meds, etc) will be considered on an individual basis".

I'm going to assume most of the Ontario BEd programs won't count. If any do, consider it a nice surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halcyon Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 One more thing: A big thank you to those that sent me PMs about this. I was especially moved by several messages encouraging me not to give up on applying to med school. Don't worry; I haven't yet Thanks again!

In MB BEd programs, only one course is P/F and they don't count that one, if it helps. The rest of the classes are easy A+'s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic Beavis Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 In Ontario, you must be certified by the Ontario College of Teachers to teach in this province’s publicly funded schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic Beavis Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 You must meet certain requirements to be certified by the College. We detail exactly what you need to become certified, whether you’re educated as a teacher in Ontario or elsewhere around the world. Any voluntary activity is also encouraged. For example, if you are struggling with homelessness, then this will be a positive fact when evaluating. More about this can be found here https://samples.edusson.com/homelessness-essay/. If you have published essays or articles, this is also a positive factor. Curious about the job market for teachers? The College follows the experiences of teachers as they begin their careers and through their first few years. Our annual Transition to Teaching reports take you inside the lives of new teachers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
