According to the Undergraduate Calendar, you need a cumulative average of at least 6.0 to be considered.

The following is taken directly from the calendar:

Enrolment in this program is limited. Selection is based on academic and other achievement and an interview but requires, as a minimum, submission of the on-line application by the stated deadline, completion of any Level II program with a Cumulative Average of at least 6.0 and completion of the following courses:

I'm not from BioPharm., but I'm from Genetics co-op. Even if your marks aren't super, your interview performance may help make you more competitive as an applicant.

yup, Ivan is correct. I am in BioPharm this year and can tell you that while marks don't hurt, they definitely are not everything. How you perform in an interview and how you fill out your application also has a huge impact on acceptance
