striders02 Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Hi guys, I'm wondering if, post-acceptance, students must maintain certain minimum marks in their fourth year of undergraduate to actually retain their acceptance and go to medical school. If so, does anyone know what the terms of that conditional acceptance are? A friend mentioned that you have to get 80+ in all fourth courses, does anyone know if this is true? Thanks so much!

School dependent. Western requires you to maintain at least a 3.7 GPA in your current year if you only had 1 year previously eligible. Ottawa requires you to maintain the cut-off GPA for your current year, so 3.85 for Ontario and 3.87 for OOP. So if you’re applying to all Ontario schools, I suggest you use the Ottawa cut-off GPA as your measuring stick for your final year. striders02 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striders02 Posted January 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Thanks so much, I appreciate all the info! Just to confirm, it looks like those school-specific cutoffs generally look at the year's GPA, rather than course-specific GPAs, is that correct? So for instance if a student gets a 3.7 in one course (0.5 credits) and 4.0 in all nine other courses (4.5 credits, making their yearly average >3.85) they would still meet the Ottawa cutoff? Edit: adding an @CardiacArrhythmia, just b/c I'm not sure if you get a notification otherwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
