Ajapai Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 I spent a year and a half at one school and withdrew second semester, second year due to health problems. I then transferred to another school, where I took a full course load the first semester and three courses the second semester. I then transferred to another program at the same school, where I completed one semester and withdrew the second semester again due to health problems. I am now returning to school and taking one course the first semester back and a one course the second semester back, with accommodations due to the aforementioned health problems. I have four years left in the program. I will be taking a full course load for the three years following this year. Am I still eligible for schools like Queens, Westerm, UOttawa and Dalhousie? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks It would depend on if you did more full time years, I think. You really must check the policies for each school and see how/if you meet them. We can guess, but it seems like a complicated situation, and I would double-check with each school if I were you. But off the top of my head, Ottawa is out. Again, you should check their requirements. Also, please don't double-post threads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica160 Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 I don't remember which schools I had checked with last year but I know multiple schools do not require that you've taken a full time course load for any number of years... but there is a requirement that you did complete X years worth of credits with the school (so if you went to 4 schools getting 1 year of credits at each for your degree, it would be a problem). I know this is not the requirement of all medical schools but some give flexibility for the path you took to get your degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They mentioned they will do 3 years with a full course load. Once finished, OP will be eligible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boa Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 What is considered a full course load? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dking168 Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Full course load depends on which school. Some examples: UWO- 5.0 (3/5 has to be same year) Queen- 3.0 is full course load Dal- 5.0 is full course load Ottawa- 5.0 is course load Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
