The admission requirements for a Level II transfer are as follows:

- Applicants must have completed six units of university Level I Biology and six units of Level I Chemistry (i.e., a full year of Biology and a full year of Chemistry)
- Applicants must have a minimum cumulative average of at least 9.0 (i.e., B+)

If you have met these requirements, I would assume that you can transfer (if you are accepted into the program). Unfortunately, the Health Sciences webpage doesn’t have any specific information for international applicants. For a more concrete answer, you should contact [email protected]

No, that guy's just messing with you. He's been posting a lot of pointless bullshit lately.

Maybe Dillon?

Except the one above in quotes, he does have a point, but that's just me and I'm sure there will be plenty who think otherwise.

The Bachelor of Health Sciences administrative office is incredibly helpful. If you provide them the details of your situation, they should be able to provide a more thorough response tailored to your requirements. Tuition is not free, but you may be eligible for certain scholarships. As with any medical school hopeful, I wish you the best success in your endeavours but always have backup options in mind. Health Science is a fantastic program with a lot of unique opportunities but it isn't the best program for every individual. Each person has different interests that are better tailored to different programs. Does it provide a firm background for med school applicants? I imagine so as several vocalise an interest in pursuing the field; they would likely not if they had no preparation. However do keep in mind that Canadian med schoosl encourage applicants to apply regardless of their degree. I know UofT even encourages engineers to apply. There are many routes to med school and Health Science is not the only one; you should pursue the path you love because that'll probably be the one that gets you to where you really want to be.
