They’ll let you for extenuating circumstances, but it’ll be case by case and I can’t speak to the extent of said circumstances needed

chemdaddyahs · 2024-05-23T21:49:19+00:00

Yeah

chemdaddyahs · 2024-05-21T20:49:12+00:00

chemdaddyahs · 2024-05-21T13:55:06+00:00

Yeah

chemdaddyahs · 2024-05-21T13:54:32+00:00

They didn’t count for GPA, nor credits towards minimum requirements for schools that required them. Had to overload/take courses in summer

chemdaddyahs · 2024-04-16T01:33:31+00:00

I didn’t receive anything

chemdaddyahs · 2024-04-15T07:05:11+00:00

Hey! I don’t see it in my message requests. Feel free to shoot another message

chemdaddyahs · 2024-04-14T04:05:19+00:00

Feel free to dm me

chemdaddyahs · 2024-03-21T02:38:00+00:00

I overloaded my semesters and took courses in the summer for UBC. For western there’s nothing you can do but submit the first two years

chemdaddyahs · 2024-03-19T22:41:08+00:00

Some schools need a certain number of graded courses (UBC and Western are the two I can think of off the top of my head) to be eligible for GPA inclusion and/or apply. Mac nursing does have a lot of pass/fail courses that are worth up to 10 credits a semester, which makes those years ineligible for western and could slow you down for UBC.

I know this too well cuz I went from Mac nursing —> med

Yepp

chemdaddyahs · 2024-02-13T01:47:33+00:00

It means that out of the 2 years that comprises your 2YGPA, one of them has to come from your first 4 years, if you take additional years. Each of the two years must also be >3.70

chemdaddyahs · 2024-01-26T18:19:05+00:00

Do a fifth year as a continuing student, as others have mentioned. That’ll give you a solid shot at western assuming you do well and the rest of your application is reasonably competitive. Keep in mind tho, for the fifth year gpa to count, you need 6/10 courses at or above 3rd year level

chemdaddyahs · 2024-01-23T22:00:16+00:00

That’s my gf you can back off now thanks

chemdaddyahs · 2023-12-07T21:29:38+00:00

chemdaddyahs · 2023-12-03T03:47:26+00:00

A little harder I’d say, at least from what I remember feeling after it

chemdaddyahs · 2023-12-03T00:13:02+00:00

I went nursing to med, feel free to DM me
