Second year program
I'm looking at the admission requirements for second year programs and I'm a bit confused. Some of them will say 'BIOLOGY 1A03, 1M03 with an average of at least 6.0.' Does this mean I had to have gotten a 6.0 in both courses or my average for both courses combined should be a 6.0?

Shoot for 10+ overall and you won't have to ask this question

It means that your combined average should be a 6.

They say at least a 6, but really you need higher than that to be competitive if it's a limited enrollment program (as most are). Depending on the program and how many people apply (and what their averages are), you might get in with a 6 but it also could be as high as 10.

just an average of 6.... but with only a six i doubt you will get into any of the limited programs... so aim higher as everyone else said
