Isthiswhat Posted August 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Your degree doesn't matter to any med schools I meant if it would be considered course or research based! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GermanZeus Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Did you take courses? Did you have to write a thesis? I would doubt that just a research project would classify it as a research based degree. Generally that seems reserved for masters degrees with a thesis.

RicardoKaká Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 If you don't have a research thesis, then it is a course based MSc Not sure what you mean by research project, but as far as I know A MSc in PT would likely be course-based. Also, you have to demonstrate research productivity in a research based MSc to even be viewed as a Graduate Applicant (need 1st author pub, likely helps to have other pubs and abstract presentations etc.) All of this can be found on their website.

Hi, I did take courses, but our final project involved a research publication. I'm just not sure if one first author pub is enough to be screened as a graduate applicant.

MedHippie Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 I am in the middle of completing a professional MSc with research as well, and had the same question. This is the response I got from the U of T admin when I asked a few months ago. "Unless you have substantial research productivity (usually, a minimum of one first author publication), you would more likely be assessed as an undergraduate i.e. the competitive minimum is currently in the region of 3.8. Each graduate case is assessed based on the application materials submitted but the academic CV is really what determines eligibility for a graduate review" Hope that helps!

If you can be a little more specific you may be able to get more help here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GermanZeus Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 MedHippie just answered your question I guess. It depends more on your academic CV that you apply with. If you did a professional Masters with a significant amount of research you will be assessed as a graduate applicant otherwise you will be assessed as an undergraduate. Pretty straightforward, the name or class of your Masters doesn't matter it seems, what matters is what you've done in that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
