x-treme Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Hello, I'm originally from Ontario buy moved to AB a few months back with a degree in Nursing. Because I wasn't sure if I wanted to go to med school, I did not take those science electives, such as physics and biochem. Now that I have graduated and would like to pursue medicine, does anyone know how my current GPA and taking individual courses would affect my application? Can I simply take those specific courses and apply, or is a new degree necessary? I will have to look into more, but hopefully someone can provide some information. Thank you.

Icebox Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Hey, The UofA admissions requirements states: 1. All applicants to the MD Program must be registered in or have completed a degree program.2. The minimum requirement for admission to our program is the successful completion of at least two full years of full-time university work (60 units of course weight - 10 full course equivalents) of which one year (30 units of course weight - 5 full course equivalents) must be taken during one academic year. (An academic year is September 1 to April 30 inclusive). You've already fulfilled this requirement through your nursing degree, so I think it would be ok for you to take the necessary prereqs without enrolling in a second degree program. I'm thinking your cGPA would be determined through your three best years of nursing and your pGPA taken through the courses you have & will be taking. You should definitely still call admissions to confirm this though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
