Raam Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 I read on the McGill website the following: One year – full course load (2 semesters) in each of the following courses, with laboratory * General Biology * General Chemistry * Organic Chemistry * Physics It is important to note that in all of the above courses Pass/Fail grades are not acceptable. So does that mean if you had gotten below 80% on any of these courses then you dont qualify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I think they mean some courses are marked as Pass or Fail only (i.e. they don't give out percentage or letter grade marks), so courses like that aren't acceptable.

I'm pretty sure that's what they mean. I doubt they'll make prerequisite cutoff marks at 80%. Some med schools mark in a Pass Fail system, or Pass/Fail/Honours system, and I know @ U of T, if you do an exchange course in another country, they're usually marked in as a Pass or Fail grade to make the course more enjoyable since you're exploring another country!

Raam Posted February 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Thank god...im sorry if Im asking stupid questions, im a second year student and I really want to do this.

Even though U of T doesn't require 5 full courses/year, you're still expected to complete 15 full courses by the time you're admitted (if you apply in your 3rd year). So that means doing summer courses to compensate. I'm not too sure what the other school's requirements are to be honest, you would have to check the individual websites. To be safe, especially since you're applying to multiple schools, you should try to take 5 full courses per year in case there's some schools that require it.

GregG Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Hi I've researched this... you need a full course load for medicine but not dental. I didnt have a full course load and they counted my summer courses as well. At UofT they count the best three years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raam Posted March 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 what if you apply in fourth year, isn't it just the best 2 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
