Ne0 Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 I realize that many medical schools require you to have an english credit during your undergrad. Is it fine if this credit is done during summer school and not regular school year? If anyone has experience with this, its much appreciated.

I don't even think it's worth it to take english since most of canadian med schools don't require them at all. I hope the ones I wanna apply don't need them unless I miss that somewhere.

Prothrombin Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Yep, and whats good is that there are some universities that don't even use summer school grades as part of the GPA; they only use it as part of your list of prereq's. The only time schools will raise a red flag is if you take most of your prereqs for med school in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which ones do you want to apply to? I should also mention english is requirement to keep a possible route to the US open. Obviously not always the ideal choice, but if you can keep an option open it's usually not a bad idea to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
