While there are exceptions where this is legitimate, it is not generally expected. Please ensure that you have not made any entry errors." Is this a big deal? I am an engineer so I usually take 6 full courses.... every semester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medguy5367 Posted September 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 It is not a big deal - you are the exception. And, just to clarify: 1.0 = Sept to Dec, or Jan to April 2.0 = "Full Year" Also, on an unrelated note, do you understand what "Full time courses" and "Half courses" are? Isn't a "full time course" just a Sept to Dec course? Or is it "Full year"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
future_doc Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Doing full course laod, which I assume is full time courses, is doing 5 courses (half courses) during the fall semester and again during the winter semester (Jan-April). In your case, it is 6 courses each semester of the normal academic year. I don't know the numbers to which you are referring, I am not an OMSAS applicant this year.

medguy5367 Posted September 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Thanks for the help, I owe you one! I'm just wondering because U of Toronto has prereqs of: All applicants are required to have completed at least two full-course equivalents in life sciences and at least one full-course equivalent in humanities, social sciences or languages. So for life sciences, should I put TWO of my "one semester" courses or FOUR of them, so that I have --> Two Full-Course Equivalents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
future_doc Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 I say put 2 of your one semester courses, but if there is room, you can always put 4 down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medguy5367 Posted October 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 LOL I put all 4 just to be safe. Although I don't know what a "half course equivalent" would be... something you do for two months lol??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kawalac Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 It is my understanding that a half course is one semester in length (i.e., Sept-Dec) and a full course is two semesters in length, so the full academic year. You were right in putting down four half courses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
