PhDgirl Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Call me crazy, but during my Undergrad at U of C, I could have sworn that U of C Medical admissions were the best of two years. Looking at their admissions booklet... I clearly am wrong. Are there any schools in Canada that use best-of-2-years? I'm hoping to find a school that will use 1 of my undergrad years, and then my graduate degree counted as one year. (wishful hoping, I know).

kylamonkey Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 UofC changed their policy. Queens uses last 2 years. UofC will drop your worst year, and GPA doesn't count for all that much anyways, only 20%. I think Ottawa only looks at last 3- not sure about grad years. Dal is last 2? Sask may be worth looking into if you are IP there. Western- can someone chime in? I think they are last 2/best 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are last 2/best 2. western - best two 5.0 credit or higher years with at least 3.0 credits at the corresponding course year or higher. Minimum GPA last year was 3.70+ for BOTH years. ha - that is getting more compact all the time. Ottawa doesn't consider grad years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhDgirl Posted September 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 My undergrad was BHSc at U of C - crap grades overall, last two years better. My grad degree is thesis based, 4.0 GPA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhDgirl Posted September 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Your grad GPA won't count anywhere as far as I know (please correct me if I am wrong), it is expected that you will have a high GPA from only 3-4 hand picked courses. It will count as 1 year at Calgary, but the degree has to be completed/conferred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 They have the 10 year rule in place now. So if you took your undegrad more than 10 years ago (assuming you are completing your PhD which can be quite a long time) some of the years won't be counted in your cGPA.

Robin Hood Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I found this on McGill's website: "Overall academic context The assessment of an applicant's academic context consists of elements such as, but not limited to [...] ( the improvement (or stability) of performance (e.g. last 2 years)" http://www.mcgill.ca/medadmissions/admissions/selection-criteria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick1234 Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 western - best two 5.0 credit or higher years with at least 3.0 credits at the corresponding course year or higher. Minimum GPA last year was 3.70+ for BOTH years. ha - that is getting more compact all the time. Ottawa doesn't consider grad years Is Calgary min of 3.6 min for oop? I started undergrad in 2001, does that mean they won't look at my first year? And they drop 1 more yrar after that? Do I have to retake my prereqs if that year doesn't count toward my gpa? Sorry really confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
