Guest jcer Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Hi everyone. I was not planning to go to [uBC] med school until recently, but now that I do, I find myself in a problematic situation. Unfortunately for me, in my 2nd year, I only took 9 courses (all worth 3 credits) and on top of that I ended up failing one (organic)! I took the course again and did very well. My overall average is about 82 and my last 60 credits is about 87. I am, by default, ineligible due to my one year with 27 credits? Does it even matter that I had years with 37 credits? Thanks for the advice. I plan to talk to admissions asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kanayo101 Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Hi jcer, Unlike other schools, UBC does not require applicants to have taken full course loads during their schooling. In fact, the majority of my semesters are <<30 credits. Hope that helps! ps - nice averages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jazz Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Not including summer courses, I have like 3 years with less than 30 credits. I am in 2nd yr now, so I don't think you have anything to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kaymcee Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 jcer, I can guarantee that this isn't a problem at all. Straight from the mouth of an admissions officer, they don't blink an eye when they see someone with 8 or 9 courses over an academic year. No need to worry.

Guest jcer Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Wow thank you for the quick responses. Needless to say, I am incredibly relieved! This forum is such a great resource - I wish I had found it a year or two ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Doctor Citan Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 I'm quite relieved myself since I had to drop a class last week. Thanks a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kellyl20 Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 How are UBC students faring at other schools' applications that requires 1 full year of organic chem, if all they had was 1 semester of 2nd year organic chem? Was 1st year chem counted towards organic chem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
