McGill Pre-Reqs

[Chicago Hopeless]

Will McGill accept pre-reqs taken through Athabasca, provided they have supervised labs?

 

If anyone has experience dealing with the McGill adcoms about pre-reqs, please share your story/insight here.

Hey,

 

This is straight from the admissions website:

 

II. Basic science requirements

Applicants must have successfully completed (or be in the final stages of completing) the following courses at a university level with laboratory or practical work in each:

 

minimum six (6) credits of general/introductory Biology

minimum six (6) credits of general/introductory Chemistry

minimum six (6) credits of general/introductory Physics

minimum three (3) credits of introductory Organic Chemistry

Minimum credits do not include compulsory laboratory or practical work. Grades of "Pass/Fail" (Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory) or of similar schema are not acceptable in course work; numerical or letter-class grades are required. Distance/correspondence education courses are not acceptable. Prerequisite courses completed more than eight years from date of application must be repeated. Exception may be made for applicants with advanced degrees in the material concerned.

 

Requirements completed at a pre-university program as part of advanced secondary or post-secondary studies may be accepted at the discretion of the Admissions office.

 

University-level courses in biochemistry, cell and/or molecular biology, and statistics are recommended, but are not required for admission.

 

 

 

 

I would still call the admissions office to confirm whether or not you can take Athabasca courses, but I highly doubt you can (I wanted to do the same thing!)
