lloyder34 Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Has anyone heard of any flexibilities in UMan's biochem prerequisites? The applicant manual says they will assess equivalency, but elsewhere they sound pretty adamant about adhering to the listed prereqs. Just wondering because UBC seemed pretty liberal in the types of courses that would satisfy the prereqs, just wondering if Manitoba would be similar. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UManitoba will probably adhere to this list: http://umanitoba.ca/faculties/medicine/alumni/media/Biochemistry_Acceptable_Course_Combination_2011_2012.xls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alabaster Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 I know they automatically include Biochem prereqs in your aGPA calculation, but is there any issue if you haven't yet completed one of the prereqs (eg. completed BCHEM 1 in year 3 but are registered for BCHEM 2 in year 4)?

If you mean you're going to be taking it this school year, then there shouldn't be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alabaster Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Thanks. Yes, I'll be taking it in the winter semester of this school year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calcium Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 I'm just looking for some clarification regarding the biochemistry and AGPA calculation. I have done all 3 Biochemistry courses at U of T( from their list of courses that can be used). Two of these i have done fairly well on and the last not so well. 1.)My question is will they include all three of the Biochem courses or will they only include the two that i list in the pre-req? There is a bit of confusion b/c elsewhere it is mentioned that all biochem courses are included are in the AGPA calculations( so even if it is a low score it will be included.) 2.) Also previous U of T students who have applied: BCHEM 310H (or 210H) INTRODUCTORY BIOCHEMISTRY CSB 349 EUKARYOTIC MOLECULAR BIOLOGY (formerly JLM 349 or BIO 349) BCHEM 370H LAB IN BIOCHEMICAL TECHNIQUES what is BCH310 ? Do they mean BCH311? if so BCH210 and BCH311 can these satisfy the 6hrs of BCH requirement? There is no such course as BCH310? http://www.biochemistry.utoronto.ca/undergraduates/courses/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other courses can be dropped if necessary. (i.e.Part of your lowest 15-30 credit hours) 2) I'm not from U of T, but Google shows that BCH310 used to be "Introductory Biochemistry" which is now BCH210. Safe to assume those are equivalent. BCH210H and BCH311H combined is option 10 in the acceptable biochemistry courses table for U of T. Therefore, it may be used to satisfy the requirement The list has been updated http://umanitoba.ca/faculties/medicine/alumni/media/Acceptable_Biochemistry_Course_Combinations_2012-2013.xlsx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
