whistler Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Just a further question regarding U of T's weighing formula... I never thought this could be a potential issue until now... At my undergrad university, a semester-long course was worth 3.0 credits each. Thus as a full time student you should have 3.0 x 5 courses= 15.0 credits. In my third year I took Orgo II and the Lab of Orgo II. The course itself was worth 3.0 credits and the lab-component was 2.0 credits. Anyway, my situation is I am now concerned that because that semester I earned 14.0 credits would that mean I am inelgible for the weighting formula for GPA?

In_Valid Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Why don't you just call them. I would say you should be ok. Then again I'm not on the admissions board. =\ What school did you go to? Thats a whacked system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDakota Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 haha.. that's got to be Ottawa U organic II. It counts towards a full course load just like a 3 credit course, the only difference is according to your GPA on a 4 point scale at OMSAS it's weighted like any other lab course.

JohnDakota Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Dont worry yourself about the formula. Just focus on taking full course loads, and doing your absolute best, and understand medschools want well rounded individuals that are involved in their communities too.

AMmd Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 they say on the website that a full course load is 28 credits per year. so if you took another 14 credits the second semester, you are fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
