rupchatt Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 How are courses taken during a year with 2 co-op terms evaluated? What if I take organic chem/lab and other courses during the 3rd year with 2 co-op terms, will Uottawa take the grade in my gpa? assuming I have 3.9+ in first 2 years. to clarify yr1->3.78 study /study/summer yr2->3.95 study/ co-op/ study yr 3->co-op / study (3.0) with orgo + lab/co-op yr4-> study (orgo 2) (3.0)/co-op/co-op essentially is my gpa (3.78 x 1 + 3.96x2)/3 or do they also count teh grades from 3rd year and 4th year? Also are courses taken during these years satisfy the prerequisites? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j95kim Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 I finished my engineering undergrad in Waterloo, also co-op. Applied last year and applying again this year. When I applied to UOttawa last year, the years with two co-op terms did not count towards my UOttawa wGPA. With this being said, you will need to make sure that you completed total of 3 years by the time you start UOttawa medical school. If you're applying for Fall 2014, then UOttawa will need you to complete 2013-2014 year with two study terms since only years 1 and 2 will count for your case. As for Orgo, I think it should count towards prerequisites just not wGPA but it's best to ask UOttawa directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rupchatt Posted November 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Hey thanks for the reply. You mentioned I should do three years. However is it 3 years with 2 study terms in each year or 3 years (15.0 credits)? Thanks. Btw if you dont mind me asking, what is a competitive gpa for UOttawa?

I'm very certain that it's 3 years with 2 study terms in each year. Because I had more than 3 years equivalent courses when I applied last year, but UOttawa contacted me in November 2012 requiring me to confirm that my 2012-2013 year had two study terms. For competitive GPA.. you should check out this link: http://www.medschoolplanner.com/index.php Another user told me about this link (thanks Matti), and for UOttawa it says average GPA is 3.91(2012) with cutoff of: 3.85.
