qw098 Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Hi guys, McGill Medicine Admissions Aggregated Academic History Workbook (MDSR) is a pain in the butt as you guys probably agree. I was wondering, for table Tbl3 where I enter my marks.. do I enter ALL my marks and designate certain courses as pre-reqs... or do I simple enter my Pre-req courses and not my upper-year courses? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaturalKiller Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Enter ALL your courses including courses in progress and designate which courses are the science pre-reqs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qw098 Posted November 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Enter ALL your courses including courses in progress and designate which courses are the science pre-reqs Thanks! How do I know which of my courses are pre-reqs? I know first year bio is a pre-req... but instead of putting in my first yr bio as a pre req could I put in a second year cell bio course as I got an A+ mark in it compared to my A- mark in my first year bio course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoccerFanatic Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 You could, but read page.22 of the booklet. Typically 100-level courses should be considered prereqs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bla0524 Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 does anybody know if the first and second reports are supposed to have calculated values in them? i think i entered everything correctly but my reports are still blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwistedFlames Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 They don't have to work. There's a thread somewhere else on the boards that explains why (basically McGill overrides them when we submit, so it doesn't have to work for us).

sheqi Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 For courses in progress, are you supposed to denote "N" for Graded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FixYou Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 I'm from UdeM and I retook a course to increase my grade, so my first (bad) grade wasn't used for the calculation of my UdeM GPA. Does someone know if I have to enter both grade for that same course in the workbook ? Or only the one that UdeM used to calculate my GPA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzle Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Is the WorkBook something I can do last minute or am I invariably going to encounter some problems filling it out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medschool2012 Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Course in progress, put a N in graded column, and you have to put ALL undergrad classes, which appear on your transcripts, in case you are not sure, put it, and then there is a row with comment, and add a comment about it.

FinalShowtime Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Is the WorkBook something I can do last minute or am I invariably going to encounter some problems filling it out? Well considering it is not a document that you put on Minerva and that it takes 10 days to acknowledge the reception...I do not know their politic about this.

papagena Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Hm, could this mean submitting the workbook today will result in an incomplete/potentially rejected application due to the 10 day delay? That sounds terrifying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds terrifying... It could although this information needs to be verified. I just wrote what was on their website. Anyway it should not be a huge deal for a lot of people considering we had over 3 months to fill this. --- From: http://www.mcgill.ca/medadmissions/ The submission deadline is the deadline to receive all supporting documentation (elements of an application). From:http://www.mcgill.ca/medadmissions/applying/elements/mdsr A receipt will automatically be provided if the submission was successful. Please allow up to 10 business days for your document to show as received in your application checklist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick1234 Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Hey guys so I filled in table 1 and 2 and 3 for the workbook, the 2 tabs for report 1 and 2 is blank still, is this suppose to happen or did I do anything more? Also, for table 3, how come only up to row 36, it's shaded pink? that's only enough space for year 1....did anyone come across this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aborjona Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 I think rpt 1 and 2 should be left blank, as long as you fill in table 1,2&3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBrunette Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Patrick, just go to the last row, select the entire row from the margin, then click insert, it will add a new pink row. Add as many as you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seeking1 Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Did you guys put In progress for your Under graduate degree to be completed during W2013? Yes, although it brings up some issues. See the thread I started recently about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBrunette Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Are we both talking about table 1&2? Also should all undergraduate be included in table 3. Specifically, I had to drop out of an elective because it was no longer credited. I am now taking 6 courses this semester. Should the elective that has a W remain in the workbook considering no grades are associated with it nor will ever be, and i have my 120 total credits from other courses? Medschool2012 are you saying you didnt include any of the courses that will be completed upon graduation and prior to a hypothetical admission, but that aren't currently underway (in progress)?

dazzle Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 My degree is an honours degree. I'm not really required to do a research project but my degree is not a specialization. So what should I put? Also, what's the program owner for CEGEP? I don't think they have a "faculty of science"... so what do I put? edit: the answer is CEGEP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazzle Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Do I put my Winter 2013 courses as well even though they are not in progress? I wouldn't think so but wondering what you thought. Also, in table 3, the right side (shaded blue) doesn't give me any values. I'm scared I screwed something up in inserting rows or copy-pasting values. I am suspecting that simply dragging down the equations for those cells will do the trick, but I'll let the school do that. I don't want to screw things up more than I should.
