ducky do Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Does the medical faculty only count the courses which are apart of your program towards your average? Lets say you take a class which is a medical pre-req during a full semester but that class is nowhere in your program even as an elective, will it still be counted towards your average by the faculty of medicine?

Donald_Duck Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Any class that you take that is part of a full year course load in the fall or winter semesters will be counted in the wGPA. If it shows up on your transcript, it will count. Mr Duck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ducky do Posted June 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Thanks! As an extra question, can pre requisites course be taken during the summer? I know the grades will not be counted but would the credit count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donald_Duck Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Exactly, bury any class in the summer if you anticipate a bad grade in it. Mr Duck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medhopeful'17 Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 My school uses uses the 30 credit system where each regular semester course is 3.0 credits or a full year course is 6.0 credits. Does anyone know if Ottawa will use a year where I completed 28.5 credits (equivalent to 9.5 regular semester classes) in the WGPA calc?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald_Duck Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 You have to do 10 classes (30 credits) in a year in order for it to count, however you can make up the remaining credit in another academic year or in the summer. Mr Duck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Duck So if I completed more than 33 credits in the previous academic year would the 28.5 credit year count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald_Duck Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 They would fetch the remaining credit within that year, correct. However, it can complicate a little bit if you are applying past 4th year (doing a 5th year or more of undergrad), then I would need a little bit more context as to where these years fit in (based on the calculation of the 3 most recent years of undergrad for the wGPA).

Mr Duck I have an undergrad degree that consists of four years of regular (10 courses per year) course load. I then did a second undergrad where I did 1 year of 33 credits, a summer of 6 credits, followed by a second academic year of 28.5 credits. The second degree only took the two years to complete and I am now finished. I have no idea how Ottawa would calculate my WGPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald_Duck Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 They would take the wGPA calculated as followed: year 2 of second degree x 3 year 1 second degree x 2 year 4 first degree x 1 They will fetch the missing 1.5 credits from your summer between first and second year of your second degree however it will not count for your wGPA calculation.
