q1w2e3 Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 How does McMaster use the grades from a foreign medical degree in process provided that you already have done your bachelors in Canada and meet the minimum course requirement? Also, do they penalize you in any way if you are pursuing medical education elsewhere while applying for admission simultaneously (again with a Canadian Bachelor's degree under your belt)?

Edict Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 You better ask McMaster directly if you are pursuing a MD or equivalent abroad whether or not you will be eligible to apply. Regarding grades, they just take whatever WES says you got at face value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thestar10 Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 They don't care if you are a current/past IMG. They include all grades including the Med ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
q1w2e3 Posted August 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 but on the website it says: **Please note - Grades from foreign credentials will not be included for applicants who meet the minimum course number requirements with Canadian or US education. I'm a bit confused.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakercyclist Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 I think that as long as you have the required number of credits in your bachelor's they don't go to the trouble of converting your foreign grades. My exchange marks don't count for anything. You still need to input them and provide a transcript though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a bit confused.. Didn't know that rule. They don't look at them then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edict Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 http://fhs.mcmaster.ca/mdprog/qa_admissions.html It turns out they do accept previous medical degrees. They say that they look at your medical school grades too, but you have to check if you did your bachelors in Canada whether or not they still care what your med school grades are.
