Taylor Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 First of all, taking 5.5 credits in one year won't do much. Did you take 5 credits in first year? Because if you did, and keep taking 5 credits a year, then you'll qualify for the Toronto weighted cGPA. There are schools that look at your best (1 or 2) years, or most recent years, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w...b Posted November 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 huh? 3 full credits? im taking a full course load, 5 full credits. and if your refering to the credits that UofT drops, if finished 4 years of university then they drop 4 full credits.

degoo_ Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Do med schools notice that you took 5.5 just as they would if you took 4.5? In my third year, I took 5.5 in order to take only 4.5 in my last year. And during third year, i balanced a lot of other ECs.. and really want them to notice that, rather than just seeing only my fourth yr lacking.

excalibre Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Hi, I also took 5.5 credits one year, and was never short credits any other year. Does anyone know (at any school, UofT or not) how they manage this!!! I know at UWO they drop it, and at Mac they use everything. But the other schools are a bit of a mystery to me. I especially need to know for Queen's university. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
