321izme Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Hey, I was wondering how I should make it clear on the application that they should be expecting IB Transcripts to fulfill some prerequisites? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaKirbster Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Fill it out on the transcript page, as described below from the help guide, and send them your IB transcript. C. Are using AP/IB credits as prerequisites (do not enter non-prerequisite AP/IB courses)Adding School Year at Institution -for country and province/state, choose Canada and BC, regardless of where you actually took the course -select Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate as the School Name -select No Degree for Degree Level -select Other for Program of Study -type “Prerequisites” in Other Program Name box Adding course info -type AP or IB for course number -check the completed box -for grade, select the score you received on the exam -enter 6 credits -check the prereq box -select the appropriate course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
321izme Posted September 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Thanks a lot DaKirbster! I totally forgot to check the app. manual before posting (I know, pretty dense of me). Just another question: If my home university (not UBC) has already offered me IB transfer credits and granted me a university course equivalent that appears on my university transcript, do I still need to send the IB forms or will the university transcript alone be enough? e.g. I took HL Biology... got a 7... my home university gives me a "Pass" for university Bio 101 and Bio 102 ... and these "passes" show up on my university transcript. Thanks a lot, I know this must be a tough question. I have asked the UBC people and I am awaiting a response but they have given me really vague responses before so I was wondering if someone has gone through the same situation. (btw, I'm only asking because I don't think my IB transcripts will make it in time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaKirbster Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 From what I understand, you still need to send in the IB transcripts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
321izme Posted September 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I emailed the UBC people and they replied with... "Please read the Documentation Checklist. The link is in the Reminder Notice (4) email you received." The Checklist is here: http://mdprogram.med.ubc.ca/files/2012/07/Documentation-Checklist-Final.pdf. At the bottom of the document it says: "If you took the applicable courses in first or second year, or otherwise prefer to use appropriate university coursework instead of AP/IB credits to fulfill the prerequisite requirements, you do not need to submit AP/IB transcripts (do not enter your AP/IB credits on your application, either)" Since I have the equivalent "university coursework" that appears on the university transcript, I would assume that the IB transcript is not required? Thanks again for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
