GOODATGETTINGREJECTED Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Hey so here is my confusion, I'm in nursing right now, and this semester involves 3 courses. 2 of those courses are for %. The other one involves a 3hr seminar and two days/week at the hospital, but it's pass/fail. I see Queen's has 2YGPA is based off of two most recent years of full study (3 courses/semester--as defined by them). It says Pass/Fail courses don't count though. Does that mean they don't count towards the credit requirement for a full course load? Or are they just stating the obvious--they don't count towards GPA. Really just wondering if my semester of 3 courses will satisfy the 2YGPA if one of those 3 courses is a pass/fail course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOODATGETTINGREJECTED Posted November 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Oh yeah, and the pass fail course is actually worth 6 credits i believe. Not that it matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOODATGETTINGREJECTED Posted November 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Well, for those people in my shoes without an account and want to know the answer. The lady at Queen's admissions office said it's ok. Now. to take the 2014 MCAT without courses in orgo and physics. Or to take orgo, physics, biochem, and sociology and do the 2015 MCAT. oh lord, this year is going to be horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean when so few courses are going into the pot you don't want to mess up of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a little nerve racking tho! I think i'll still apply to UBC for the heck of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also in nursing and as u know, clinicals are always p/f.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the Queens website: Courses with Pass/Fail grades or transfer credits (including International Baccalaureate, Advance Placement and CEGEP programs) are not included in GPA calculations, but are considered credit requirement totals. I believe they count 'credits' and not actual courses based on what they say about course weight. So if you have the 'equivalent' of 3+ courses per semester you should be fine. May want to clarify with them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
