Bethanyy Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 what are the course requirements to get into university of Ottawa medical school exactly, I am a first year going into engineering as a premed route because i want a solid degree to fall back on if i dont get in. So making my timetable i want to know exactly what i need ? On their website they say " four specific prerequisite courses: 1. one full year course (or two semester courses) in General Biology including laboratory session; 2. one full year course in Humanities or Social Sciences (or two semester courses in separate disciplines; 3. and 4. the equivalent of two full-year courses (or four semester courses) of the following Chemistry courses: i) General Biochemistry without laboratory session; ii) General Chemistry with laboratory session; iii) Organic Chemistry with laboratory session." a) firstly what is the difference between a full year course or two semester course? from the looks of this i need 1 biology, 1 Humanities, 1 biochemistry without lab, 1 general chemistry with lab, and 1 organic chemistry with lab. So in in total it comes to 5 courses i need to fit in my schedule? c) Can i take any of these in the summer ? d) what level of classes do i need to take like for the biology credit can i just take biology I first year and that will fulfill that requirement Any help with these questions would be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocBrown9 Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 a) the difference is just how some school organise courses. Ie school A might do one course that lasts a full year for bio. Whereas school B might do two courses that together last the full year. Its just logistics. Also remember that you can mix and match courses for the third requirement(ie you could take 2 half chems, a half orgo and a half biochem,) C)i beleive you can take them in the summer. Yhey just wont count to the gpa ottawa uses. D) for the sciences courses, they are usually intro courses(1st or 2nd year courses depending on the school). For humanities/soc sci i beleive any year works (i used third year courses and was accepted) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocBrown9 Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Some course last two terms depending on the university. If a course lasts one term, you need 2 of them to fufill the 1 year of [insert subject here] prereq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bethanyy Posted May 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 so i can take courses in the summer and they wont use those towards my gpa but the others courses which i take will count instead but i will still meet the prerequisite requirement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocBrown9 Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 As long as you have a full course load during the year. You should be fine with summer courses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medhopeful7748 Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 For the option for talking 2 chem, 1 orgo and then 1 biochem. I included a biochemistry course that did have a lab component. Is that still okay and will be passable as a prerequisite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's fine, if anything they'd like that it has a lab lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald_Duck Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Biochem courses do not need a lab to count. Mr Duck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
