Transfer Student
Hi,
Transfer student here from another uni. I'm not an internal transfer so how would I know when I've gotten into the program I've applied to? I applied for both health sci and life sci programs at mac. Also, it says for health sci that you need chem and bio for 2 sems. Would they see ur overall average or would they only look at your fall grades?

Thanks

probably want to contact departments for both science and BHSc. for the former they likely admit on a rolling basis based on marks. have you sent them a transcript including first semester marks? if not then I wouldn't expect anything until they receive your grades from the final years transcript. for BHSc I am pretty sure they will only consider you once you have sent in your final transcript as there is a mark cutoff of a 10 (~3.7 gpa at other schools or 80%ish) but better ask them to confirm - also you had to have submitted the supplementary application that was due a little while ago but I assume you did.

Thanks for the quick reply. I did submit my transcript for my first semester marks and my supplementary application. Yea I was just wondering whether they will read my application based on those grades or my final grades. The office is a bit busy as I've asked them already which is why I made a thread. Thanks
