Hi everyone,
Canadian universities only grant 3 credits per course per semester, no matter whether it included a lab or not. Now some Optometry schools require '4' or '8' credits minimum for some pre-reqs, but that's because in the US a course with a lab is 4, not 3, credits.
Should I enter 4 credits for courses with labs, even though it only says 3 on my transcript, or will the Optometry schools understand that the Canadian 3 credit course may include a lab, and would therefore be equivalent to an American 4 credit course? How did you do it?
I asked OptomCAS about this a couple of times, every time they just refer to the FAQ, and this questions isn't answered there
Thanks!
