PREMED 202 Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Hi, Does anyone know how will Ottawa med school look at someone who has already done 120 credit without graduating and who adds a minor to complete a 5th year. It is not to boost my gpa , but it is because I was a part-time student during my first two years so since I am now in my fourth year, I am thinking to add a 5th year to make my 3 th, 4th and 5 th year for uottawa. Does anyone has a success story by doing extra classes that won't give you credit for your degree? Is it better to do a second UG ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hartk48 Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 If you take courses without graduating, they will count for that degree. Just make sure to take a full course load so the fifth year actually counts! I wouldn't start a whole undergrad just yet... its a lot of commitment? are your 3rd and 4th year grades high?

PREMED 202 Posted October 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 I am in my fourth year. I only need 30 credits to finish my degree, but since I was part time for my first and second year ( for medical reasons) , I decided to stay for an extra year. At the end of my 5 th year my transcript will show the grades but some courses wont't have credits since I will be doing more than 120 credits. My gpa for my third year is 3,925 and I expect something similar for my fourth year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PREMED 202 Posted October 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Does it depend on the university in Ontario ? Do each of them have different policies when it comes to someone who takes extra courses without graduating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
