Pre-Requis Sciences Admission

[kenjuro]

Bonjour à tous,

 

Je suis confus par rapport aux pré-requis nécessaires pour appliquer en médecine.

 

J'ai complété mon DEC en sciences de la nature de 2006 à 2008 suivi d'un bac et doctorat en microbiologie que je vais compléter à l'été 2016.

 

Je compte déposer une demande d'admission pour l'automne 2016, mais je me demande si le comité d'admission va considérer mon dossier comme ayant eu mes pré-requis du CEGEP fait il y a plus de 8 ans...

 

Merci de m'éclairer si quelqu'un peut m'aider

Hi kenjuro. You really need to contact the admissions office and ask. My prereqs were out of date as well, since I did a PhD. The med admissions office sent my transcript to the registrar's office to be analyzed. They only asked me to take organic chemistry (cegep-level) since I had never taken it.

Hey amoserlie

 

But did you send your transcript before the admissions to get it analyzed or did you just apply like usual and waited to see which courses they'd tell you to retake?

 

Thanks again

No, this is the leg work that needs to be done before you apply. I contacted both McGill and Laval during the summer last year to find out which courses they would want me to take (or re-take). If I had waited, it would definitely have been too late to take a course in the Fall session to satisfy McGill's requirements (coursework must be completed by Jan. 15th). I asked McGill for leniency this year since Laval insisted I take their o-chem course in the winter session (admission contingent upon successfully completing the course) and they said "no". Apparently you used to be able to do this at McGill (I know a friend who did), but now they're pretty strict about the Jan. 15th deadline. I guess they were worried I would bomb CEGEP-level o-chem. Sigh.
