Big Baller Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I am pretty sure that this questions has been answered several times before but i couldn't find anything on it so i thought i would post it here. People who don't get into Med School after their undergrad sometimes go for Masters. Do schools count the Master s gpa only when looking at your application or not. If they don't then why do people go do masters to get into med schools? If schools do count the master gpa, how long should the masters be because i know there are several number of Masters programs ranging from 1-4 years.

Big Baller Posted April 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I was unable to find one more thing that u might know about, do they ask for specifically a 3 or 4 years master or a 2 years masters would work too...i am referring to MSc(OT/PT) at Mac, Queens and UWO!

A 2 year M.Sc. is fine - Ottawa only can't use their graduate evaluation process for a 1 year course based M.Sc. because there aren't any grades for them to evaluate while you're applying - assuming you're applying during your degree. Ottawa will treat one year of a course based M.Sc. as one of the years they use for their undergrad GPA cutoff. However, I would imagine that if you're applying to Ottawa the year after you've completed a 1 year course based M.Sc., that you'd be able to use those grades (although anyone considering this might want to email Ottawa's med admissions office). For grad students, Toronto requires that a transcript with grades from Fall courses taken in the year of application is submitted once available. Toronto places emphasis on grad GPA rather than research productivity for an individual in a course based M.Sc., as they won't likely have much in the way of research productivity. Length of study has no bearing on the McMaster bonus. I don't think the length of the degree affects any of the other schools, but I am less familiar with their specific policies.
