Albertan10 Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 i have completed all my science pre-reqs in cegep. from the following site: http://www.mcgill.ca/medadmissions/applying/general-requirements/basic-science-prerequisites it lists that you need 6 credits in physics, another 3 credits in organic chem. i'm assuming 3 credits is equivalent to one class. in cegep my science courses were credited as 2.66 credits. i completed 3 courses in physics and took both organic I and II. so i'm wondering when i have to check off whether or not this course is a science pre-requisite. do i select both organic chem classes, or just one? same for physics? this obviously has a bearing on what my science GPA will come out to. i tried asking adcom to be more specific with the science prereqs but they simply told me to check their website and unfortunately could not provide me with further details.

Albertan10 Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 anyone have a clue? just curious if i have any control over what gets included in my science gpa, and which courses i can exclude. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al-Doctora Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 I don't know much about cegep, but yes 3 credits is one course. For my undergrad science prerequisites I listed both 1st year courses for physics, 2 courses for organic chem, 2 courses for inorganic and a biochem for that category too. So I would list whatever courses you took for those categories, one course isn't enough. I called them up last month and they said if I'm not sure about which courses will satisfy the requirements I could list as many will fit in the menu, which was 4 courses in each category. So, where there was extra space, I added an upper year courses just in case, though I made sure to list the introductory level courses since I was told that should be listed. Hope that helps.

Hope that helps. thank you for the reply. i tried to go back into medoas but it's temporary out of service. from what i remember in self-reported grades section all it asks me to do is answer yes or no on whether or not it is a science pre-requisite. i did not see specific categories for organic, gen chem, and so on. just wanted to make sure what you meant as categories. thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you guys write lab or not? Or do they assume if we put them as pre-reqs that they have such? There is no instructions for this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al-Doctora Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Didn't you guys first list the courses in WebApp, there was an area to write the courses and you had to check off if it was completed or not and if it had a lab component. Most of them required lab components, so you had to have checked off it had a lab component if it did. But this step was due Nov.1, in MedOAS now you only check off which courses are a prereq in your list of courses, which are supposed to be the same chosen for WebApp, right?

kc752 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Al-Doctora, I think you are right. I have a question not pertaining to sci pre-reqs (sorry for highjacking the thread), but do we need to include the courses we are planning on taking in winter semester under academic history? Mine aren't on my transcript and they are obviously not yet "in progress", so I guess I should leave them out? Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albertan10 Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 thanks al-doctora. to the classes you haven't taken i haven't put them in. since i may change what courses i'll be taking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al-Doctora Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 If those winter courses are sci prereq then yes list them, that's what I did for a prereq course that may not appear on the transcript. Even if it's not a sci prereq, I would still put it just in case, doesn't hurt and plus at least they see the course load you're taking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
