christinawang1990216 Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 I just stumbled upon an old post saying how western has a pre med committee and they wrote the letter for american medical schools. Has anyone known if this is true? I totally just went for the individual letters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reflex Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 lol western most definitely does not have this "committee" that writes letters. it's just an american thing, everyone in canada uses individual letters to suit OMSAS. why would they bend over for the americans?

ontariomed0002 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 hey for the UWO ppl and anyone else with this issue ... on my transcript my courses that had a lab like first year Bio, chem and physics say nothing about a lab. So I entered those courses in to AMCAS as Biology 101 with lab and after verification they left the name alone but then they only counted it as 6 credit hours. Most schools say they need 8 credit hours because 2 of the hours are the lab?? Are we short 2 credit hours then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
