AADSAS Coursework Question

[Graphire]

Members don't see this ad.

I'm kinda confused on this part of the application.

UWO doesn't use a +/- system so I'm not too sure what to put here.

Any help?


Also I've been searching but some people have been writing how 1 full year course in Canada is 6.0 Credits in the US?
How should I be approaching the Coursework section?

Just put either A, B, or C. Whatever is in your transcript is what you put for your grade. Not sure about the Canada thing.

Yeahhh, Western! woop woop.
Western does use +/- in some sense (A+ = 90-100). So only put "A+" for your 90%+ courses...that's it.

Western half = 0.5, western full = 1.0...but in the states, the standard half course is 3.0 and the standard full course is 6.0

They'll understand it if you put 3.0 credit hours for your half-year courses and 6.0 for your full year courses.

Thanks so much.

So Western doesn't use any other +/- except for A+?
That's really lame 🙁.

It's a good thing and a bad thing. The upside is that if you have everything above 80%+, you have a 4.0 for American Schools..although no one ever understands how hard it is to achieve that 80 at Western. Crappy thing is if you drop below 80 in any course, your GPA drops significantly.

Well that's some dreadful news.

While I was looking at my grades while filling this part out I realized how badly I did in second year.

First year wasn't as totally awful as I thought but it could've been better.

My third year has been a lot better then both first and second if what you say is indeed true.

Argh, what stressful times.
