Great_Wumbo Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 I'm currently a first-year student at Concordia University in Montreal, and am looking to satisfy the Biology II w/ Lab during my second year. (Just finished BIOLOGY 1) However, at Concordia, there is no General Biology 2 course w/ Lab, instead, there are 2 separate lecture courses (BIOL 225 and BIOL 226 without labs) that are mandatory prerequisites for a full-on Lab Course (BIOL 227). Essentially, I have to take 9 Credits worth of courses (3 separate classes) to satisfy 1 year of Biology w/lab requirement of Med school. Would it be possible to take Biology 2 w/ Lab in Cegep and have it satisfy my pre requisite for Med School admissions? Also, would courses completed in Cegep be valid for applications outside of Canada? If I were to apply to some American M.D schools for instance, could I show my transcript for a Biology 2 course taken in a CEGEP and have it count? Another alternative I know of is to take BIOLOGY 2 while at Mcgill using the Quebec-University transfer class system, but BIOL 112 (Biology 2 w/lab ) at Mcgill appears to cover some topics that I've already been tested on in BIOL 201 at Concordia. Sorry if this post seems convoluted, any advice/insight on this matter would be greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tevaramipril Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 Hi, I completed ALL my prerequisites at UdeM a few years ago w/o the lab sections. Their courses are accepted by med schools in Quebec (I intervewed at McGill and called each faculty to make sure). I do not know if they count in your CRU though. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureDMD-QC Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 I did BIO 1 and BIO 2 in CEGEP after my completing my undergraduate degree at Concordia and all medical schools in Quebec accepted them as pre-reqs for biology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tevaramipril Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 Would someone be able to tell me if prerequisites completed at a university are taken into account for the CRU/GPA calculation? Thanks in advance! (sorry to highjack your post, although i'm guessing it could be helpful for your choice) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
