mountainaxe46 Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hey I am in a graduate program in the Department of Public Health at the University of Toronto. Because of Health issues, I had to write makeups and cram my course work along with my research. As a result of my bad health, everything became hectic, and worse. I think i might end up with a B+ in one graduate course, and I'm quite worried about it. I understand that that U of T has a cutoff of A- for graduate students but I don't know what to do now. Would my application be automatically rejected or flagged? Do i have a valid explanation for the mark? thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather the decisions are usually based on graduate productivity (i.e. publications). Hope that helps. I have an MPH where my degree was project/thesis/practicum based therefore not alot of publications available to be had in program... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epigal Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 From the U of T FAQ: "Will I be at a disadvantage if I am in a course-based graduate program where I have no publications? No. More weight will be placed on the course marks. Generally, an A- average in graduate courses is considered competitive. Students are still required to send a CV, an up-to-date transcript (if applicable), and the additional letters of reference. " So as long as you have an A- average you are fine. Note: this only applies to course-based masters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
