justletmein Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Anyone here who did their prereqs in Quebec CEGEP? I want to kill myself right now... I went to a private CEGEP and didn't apply myself like I could. My university GPA is very good but my cegep marks could have been better. Regardless, the CEGEP system works with R-score and since I went to a smaller more competitive school my R-score was quite good. Now Albany is the only school so far to ask for a letter grade conversion for my classes..... So I call up the school to get a copy of the conversion and here's what they send me: A 90-100 (excellent) B 80-89 (Very Good) C 70-79 (good) D 60-69 (pass) E below 60 (Failure) I dont know about other schools but this scale seems ridiculously harsh. Now my 2 screw-up classes will end up showing up as D's!!!!!!! Say goodbye to my chances at any school that asks for this scale. I hate our province Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavanshir Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Can we get more opinions on this? I was under the impression that CEGEP grades were not considered at all. I even have one failure in my last year of CEGEP.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acromium Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 I don't understand, why would indiviudal schools care about CEGEP? I was under the impression that AAMC does the conversion, and to my knowledge I don't think CEGEP is even factored in.... anyways g luck, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justletmein Posted December 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 CEGEP Grades are NOT factored into your AMCAS BUT there was one school which asked me to provide them with my transcripts and conversion scale.... presumably because they want to know how I did in my prereq classes. I think its bulls**t b/c cegep is not like university, there is an R-score to make up for the grades depending which school you went to. I went to a private, highly competitive CEGEP where my number grades were not the best but my R-score was adjusted to the strength of my class and therefore was pretty damn good.
