Save $828

Expert's Insight: "A SOLID 4-CREDIT WIN — BUT BEWARE THE 'CHEM 123 GATEKEEPER'" The Good News (Official UBC Policy) If you score a 6 or 7 in IB Chemistry HL, UBC Vancouver grants you CHEM_V 121 (4 credits). That's a real head start because CHEM_V 121 is a core first-year course that includes a heavy 3-hour weekly lab...

University of Ottawa

Ottawa, ON

Min Grade: 5
CHM 1711 (3 units)
Save $660

Expert's Insight: A 5 gets you into CHM 1711, but the first-year lab grading is far more unforgiving than your IA. Expect your first report to be a brutal introduction to their standards.

Save $900

Expert's Insight: That 5 gets you into CHEM 120, but the lab component is a different beast. The marking for technique and reports is far more stringent than your IA.
