kaitagsd Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 For prereqs, I saw that Queen's requires "Full-year course in each of Biological Sciences, Physical Sciences, and Humanities/Social Sciences." If I'm currently an engineering student (electrical) right now, what kinds of courses would I need to take to fulfill those prereqs? I go to UBC so I was required to take first year English and Chemistry, but don't know if those count. I also received bad grades in those, and I only want to have my last 2 years evaluated, so don't know how the calculations will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't be if they are not included in your last two years - so they don't automatically add your prereqs to the GPA calc they use. Sounds like both of those courses count - I took engineering and there was some mandatory physics in there - how about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaitagsd Posted July 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Yes, I took physics as well. So I guess that counts for the "physical sciences" part? But say, full year in biological sciences means I would have to go out of my current curriculum and take two biology courses (one per semester), correct? I wonder if there's a more detailed explanation of this on the admissions site or elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tberry3 Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I wanted to double-check about these as well. As far as I can tell, it doesn't matter what year you take these courses in - is this correct? I'm also in engineering so my physical sciences credit would be 1st year physics course I was required to take, and social sciences credit would be the psych course I took in first year.

kaitagsd Posted August 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Haha thanks for bumping my thread, just reminded me that I should probably contact them about this matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
