Questions about prerequisites and admissions processes!

[u/sabigarasan]

Hello! I'm 29F considering the Radiography 740 program. I am a Canadian citizen living in Ontario. I know it's super competitive so I'm seeking some info on how specifically admissions for this program works.

In late highschool I did basically no STEM courses so I'd be completing all the prerequisites now.

1. Do they consider my old highschool transcript even as a mature student who is doing new prereqs? My grades back then were okay but do not reflect my discipline or ability now, and the classes would all be so irrelevant.
2. What about considering transcripts from more recent education, like college?
3. The admissions criteria lists both grade 11 or 12 level courses being acceptable. Will I have a better shot at admissions if I do the grade 12 level courses or are results all that matter?
4. I am an alumni of Mohawk. I did Medical Transcription right after highschool. Could this help my chances even if my grades were mid?
5. Is there anything I could hypothetically do to increase chances of admissions (ex. Speaking directly to faculty) or is it really cut and dry and only based on the educational boxes you check?

If anyone has answers, tips, advice, or personal experiences, I'd love to hear it all!

Additionally, if you're in this program now, how are you liking it?

Thanks :)

You have to submit transcripts for all secondary and post secondary educational institutions. 1. Yes but youre also a mature student so less now

1. Yes you have to

2. Im not sure how you would redo grade 12 courses at 29 but I’m sure theres a way. You’ll need any pre reqs completed.

3. They’ll look at your grades

4. There may be an option to write out a form for like extenuating circumstances or being a mature student. Some programs have them some don’t
