Guest archchivalry Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 I found out that many Western Canada medical schools (Like UBC, Alberta) requires 1 full-year of English. I heard that that can be replaced by an English test as well. Does that apply to students in Ontario? Is everyone eligible for that?

Guest Lactic Folly Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 I'm not sure which English test you're referring to, but the UofA requires a full-year university English course. If you have a 6 or a 7 in higher level IB English, you will get credit for this course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lex Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 You need a full year of english for ubc, alberta, sask, and manitoba. I don't know about the rest, but UBC's English prereq can be skipped by challenging an exam. I don't know much about this option but I imagine that it'not as easy as simply "taking a test". Keep in mind that this test replaces a full year of study. Everyone's eligible to take the exam. In general, I highly recommend taking a full year of English. It can not only help to improve written and oral communication skills but can open up alternate perspectives to analysis not typically offered through science programs.

Guest squeegy80 Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 For Sask, they have specific English requirements. Not only do you need a full year of it, but one of the courses has to be an essay writing course and the other has to be a literature course. This fact recently screwed me over and I now have to take a third (literature) English course instead of an easy, fun elective I had planned to boost my GPA. squeegy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest physiology Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 You have to have a degree by the time you graduate though if you want to take this English exemption test (ie, you can't apply during your third year without a degree). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
