polarb Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Hi all! I am a 4th year OOP student applying to U of A for the upcoming cycle. I am doing my preliminaries right now, and I was just wondering, do I still need to include highschool information? I'm guessing the highschool stuff is to confirm IP residency but since I'm not, do I still need to input this in? And also the grades for high school courses? One last question is about the application process. Right now, I'm filling out the preliminaries (which doesn't seem like a lot of information inputting). SO when I hit submit with my payment, will the link me to the secondaries? Is this where I put a bio-sketch and get all my references in? Thanks!

Jochi1543 Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 The app never asked me for high school grades. Heck, I have no idea what my HS GPA was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kungfupanda17 Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 I think the general application you have to fill out prior to getting the secondary medical application is a general undergraduate programs application which includes things like BA's BSc's etc. So If you were a high school student applying to uni for the first time, you'd only be filling out that stuff basically....that's my take on it. I'm 4th year OOP too, I didn't bother filling out the details of my high school courses and was lead to the secondary application just fine. There's also a bear-tracks site that lets you see what you have due/pending, and when I check that, it doesn't say my high school grades are pending or anything, just my university transcripts and stuff.

bigfootspartan Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Hmm it made me fill in my high school grades. Which meant I had to dig around the house for a bit to find them. I double checked and I was applying as a student who had already taken some post secondary education... But it could just be a bug in the system. I came across that last year.

polarb Posted August 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 One more question! In the "Test Taken" section, there are two spots available. I know the score of my first test taken but I have another test score pending. Do I put "n/a" as the score? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercarrot Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 "Official" transcripts are those sent directly to the Registrar's Office by the institution you attended. You must submit official transcripts from every university and college attended, even if only one course was taken. We do not require high school transcripts, however you must submit official transcripts for any IB or AP courses taken. " From the UofA secondary medicine application.
