Handsome88 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Can you please create a comprehensive list of Canadian medical schools that: 1) Do not count courses taken during the summer in your GPA 2) Drop your lowest course from your GPA 3) Consider the highest one/two/three undergrad years 4) Any other school that gives some type of "forgiving"? These questions show up a lot and making a thread for it would be a good idea. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xi88 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 making this thread will not reduce the number of questions being asked on the subject. See "What are my chances" sticky for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bj89 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 you can find out all this information on each school's website and also with the search function... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xi88 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 To the OP: look, the fact is, this information is all over these forums. A simple search will get you all the answers. Even with a comprehensive list, its not going to stop people from starting their new threads asking the same question. There are several other comprehensive threads already on the forum, and yet people keep asking the same questions over and over. If you are looking for the information yourself, you said it yourself that these questions come up a lot. Why not just look at those threads? The answers are also available on each school's website.

1234 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 wow you people are so helpful... Take some initiative and help yourself. All the information you will ever need for the application process can be found using the Search Function. If for some odd reason, the information is not in a previous thread (which I highly doubt), then come back and ask a more detailed and specific question than "make a comprehensive list for me" - which essentially means "I'm too much of a lazy ass to do a little reading for myself". Don't expect people to spoonfeed you all the information. Common information like what you requested can be found in less than 10 minutes. A simpler guide: Looking for facts? Use the Search function. Looking for opinions? Ask away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medgirl101 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 hey man, I don't really know about other schools... but the U of S takes your top two full years (sept to april), and they dont take ur spring summer classes into account (unless its a pre req course, then that is counted in the separate pre req average ie not part of the two year)... Bear in mine tho, if ur out of province, the cut off for interviews is about 92.5.. and after you get an interview, they no longer look at your marks (ie its 100% MMI score)...

Icebox Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 I don't know details, only that at least these schools will somehow drop some courses/years depending on whether you've taken a full courseload or not: UofA - drop lowest year if at least 3 full time years are completed UofS - takes best 2 years UofT - drops a certain amount of lowest-graded courses depending on how many full-time years you've completed Queen's - best 2 years Western - best 2 years May be more schools that have different GPA calculation methods. Your best bet is to look at each of these school's websites and read more into their policies, since I may have mentioned some that are incorrect/outdated.

Actually Western takes your best 2 years, of which one must be a senior year (3rd or 4th). Whereas Queen's takes not the best 2 but the LAST 2 years of full-time study Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOC_Ma Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Dalhousie looks at your last 2 years or last 3 depending on which one is better, I think, and Ottawa gives a weight factor to each year with third year x3, second x2 and first x1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
