MisterStrum Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Hey, I'm just finishing my second year of undergrad, and I hope to keep my options open for med schools. I'm wondering if the majority of my courses in third year have to be c level bio, like 6/10 altogether for fall and spring. Also this applies in fourth year as well, except they're c or d level? Two other things if anyone can answer them. Is biochem needed for any large proportion of med schools? From what I've searched no. U of T med school removes 4 full course grades after taking four years of undergrad with full course load. Does this mean four courses? Like if each course is 0.5, then they take off 2.0 credits of the lowest marks? Or is it 4.0 credits worth? Thanks for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got the idea. (but they don't have to be bio courses, unless you have to take those for your degree. They just have to be 3rd year level courses in any subject). Is biochem needed for any large proportion of med schools? From what I've searched no.Some schools need biochem, but it's not a majority. I would look into the schools that you're interested in.

Or is it 4.0 credits worth?1.0 credits per year = 4.0 credits total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterStrum Posted April 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Hey, thanks so much for the reply. This will help me with choosing my 3rd year courses and maybe give me some comfort knowing 8 of my lowest marks are dropped with the U of T cGPA calculation.

medmiscer Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Whether or not biochem's required, I think taking it is very worthwhile. I'm taking it right now, and even though its really tough, I'm enjoying it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
