Applying To Year 4 BMSc

Familiarize yourself with the maximum capacity and the minimum averages that students have required for the past few years to secure a spot in each Honours Specialization module.

• admission to Double Majors and Specialization modules is not limited
• admission to each Honours Specialization module in Year 4 BMSc is limited - each of these modules has a maximum capacity
  • see Modules Offered in the BMSc Program for details about how students are admitted to modules in Year 4 BMSc
• admission to a particular Honours Specialization module is not assured for any student who is admitted to Year 4 BMSc
• the students with the top Weighted Averages will be admitted to each Honours Specialization module
• being registered in a particular Honours Specialization module in Year 3 does NOT give you preference over other students for Year 4.

A minimum Weighted Average of 75% is the absolutely lowest average required to be admitted to an Honours Specialization module.

• there isn't a pre-determined minimum average required to be admitted to any of the Honours Specialization modules
• the maximum capacity of each module is the only thing that is pre-determined
• the minimum Weighted Average required to be admitted to a particular Honours Specialization module in any given year will be higher than 75% if more students ask for the module than there are spaces available in the module
• if more students ask for the module than there are spaces available, the student with the highest average on the 2000-level Admission Requirements is admitted first and the other spaces are filled with descending averages until the module reaches its maximum capacity
• the average on the 2000-level Admission Requirements of the last student admitted to each Honours Specialization module represents the minimum average required for admission to that module for that year
• review the maximum capacity and minimum averages required to secure a spot in each Honours Specialization module for the past few years.

A good Second Choice might be an Honours Specialization module or Double Majors.

• if your Second Choice is an Honours Specialization module, make sure you are going to have all the 2000- and 3000-level courses listed in the Weighted Average Chart for that Honours Specialization module
  
  • it is very unlikely that special permission would be recommended to the BMSUE Office (for approval before sending to the Academic advising Office) to register in Year 4 of an Honours Specialization module without having completed all the courses in the Weighted Average Chart.
• you can complete a BMSc (Honours) degree with Double Majors!
  • when completing Double Majors, BMSc students almost always have "common courses" in their Majors. See the Common Course Policy for dealing with common courses.
