McGill Medicine Admissions Aggregated Academic History Workbook (MDSR)

[qw098]

Hi guys,

 

McGill Medicine Admissions Aggregated Academic History Workbook (MDSR) is a pain in the butt as you guys probably agree.

 

I was wondering, for table Tbl3 where I enter my marks.. do I enter ALL my marks and designate certain courses as pre-reqs... or do I simple enter my Pre-req courses and not my upper-year courses?

 

Cheers!

Enter ALL your courses including courses in progress and designate which courses are the science pre-reqs

Thanks! How do I know which of my courses are pre-reqs? I know first year bio is a pre-req... but instead of putting in my first yr bio as a pre req could I put in a second year cell bio course as I got an A+ mark in it compared to my A- mark in my first year bio course

You could, but read page.22 of the booklet. Typically 100-level courses should be considered prereqs.

does anybody know if the first and second reports are supposed to have calculated values in them? i think i entered everything correctly but my reports are still blank

[TwistedFlames]

They don't have to work. There's a thread somewhere else on the boards that explains why (basically McGill overrides them when we submit, so it doesn't have to work for us).

[bla0524]

great, thanks!!

For courses in progress, are you supposed to denote "N" for Graded?

[Guest FixYou]

I'm from UdeM and I retook a course to increase my grade, so my first (bad) grade wasn't used for the calculation of my UdeM GPA. Does someone know if I have to enter both grade for that same course in the workbook ? Or only the one that UdeM used to calculate my GPA?

Is the WorkBook something I can do last minute or am I invariably going to encounter some problems filling it out?

[medschool2012]

Course in progress, put a N in graded column,

 

and you have to put ALL undergrad classes, which appear on your transcripts, in case you are not sure, put it, and then there is a row with comment, and add a comment about it.

Well considering it is not a document that you put on Minerva and that it takes 10 days to acknowledge the reception...I do not know their politic about this.

[papagena]

Hm, could this mean submitting the workbook today will result in an incomplete/potentially rejected application due to the 10 day delay? That sounds terrifying...

It could although this information needs to be verified. I just wrote what was on their website. Anyway it should not be a huge deal for a lot of people considering we had over 3 months to fill this.

I think you just need to email the workbok before tomorrow night.

Hey guys so I filled in table 1 and 2 and 3 for the workbook, the 2 tabs for report 1 and 2 is blank still, is this suppose to happen or did I do anything more?

 

Also, for table 3, how come only up to row 36, it's shaded pink? that's only enough space for year 1....did anyone come across this?

[aborjona]

I think rpt 1 and 2 should be left blank, as long as you fill in table 1,2&3

[MBrunette]

Patrick, just go to the last row, select the entire row from the margin, then click insert, it will add a new pink row.

 

Add as many as you need.

[MBrunette]

Did you guys put In progress for your Under graduate degree to be completed during W2013?

Did you guys put In progress for your Under graduate degree to be completed during W2013?

 

Yes, although it brings up some issues. See the thread I started recently about this.

[MBrunette]

Are we both talking about table 1&2?

 

Also should all undergraduate be included in table 3. Specifically, I had to drop out of an elective because it was no longer credited. I am now taking 6 courses this semester. Should the elective that has a W remain in the workbook considering no grades are associated with it nor will ever be, and i have my 120 total credits from other courses?

 

Medschool2012 are you saying you didnt include any of the courses that will be completed upon graduation and prior to a hypothetical admission, but that aren't currently underway (in progress)?

[medschool2012]

 

I am not sure, you may want to call mcgill tomorrow, this is not explained on the website..

My degree is an honours degree. I'm not really required to do a research project but my degree is not a specialization. So what should I put?

 

Also, what's the program owner for CEGEP? I don't think they have a "faculty of science"... so what do I put?

edit: the answer is CEGEP

CEGEP,

pretty sure its written somewhere in the guidelines

[dazzle]

Do I put my Winter 2013 courses as well even though they are not in progress? I wouldn't think so but wondering what you thought.

 

Also, in table 3, the right side (shaded blue) doesn't give me any values. I'm scared I screwed something up in inserting rows or copy-pasting values. I am suspecting that simply dragging down the equations for those cells will do the trick, but I'll let the school do that. I don't want to screw things up more than I should.
