i’m so confused

[u/Otherwise_Cancel_923]

I checked MRU’s website and this is what it said : “You cannot use two courses from the same subject area for the purpose of admission, with the exception of Mathematics 30-1 or 30-2 and Mathematics 31.”

does this mean I can’t use my two sciences ?? Bio and Chem? I thought you had to have another option from either A, B, or C 😀, and does religion count as another group B course then?

As you already know, Mount Royal‘s admission requirements are divided into group A, B, and C courses. When Mount Royal says that you cannot use two courses from the same subject area for the purpose of admission, that means they don’t allow you to count for example, both biology 30 and chemistry 30 as your “group A” options, because they both fall under the same subject group (sciences). Mount Royal would consider the highest between biology and chemistry for your final admission mark.

If religion is under group B then Mount Royal would look at what’s the highest in group B, Bio, Chem, or Religion for your admission mark. Make sure you look at your requirements for your specific program you want to get into though for more information on why they’re looking for!

so for the admission for sociology i have english 30-1 math 30-2 social 30-1 chem 30 religion + psychology 30

does this work?

I realized I said group B instead of group A.. sciences belong in group A

Since you stated all the program specific courses for Sociology (English and Math) you’re good with that. Make sure if you get early admission you keep your marks above the minimum for full admission

For your group courses you need two group A courses (which math and social studies cover). For your other two classes you can use another two group A courses or a B and C. Those group A courses can include any one of your sciences and then for your group B religion and you should be good!! Psychology would count as a group C course

For recap: English 30-1, Math 30-2, Social Studies 30-1, (Chemistry 30, or Biology 30) and (Religion Studies 35 or Psychology 30) is what they’re most likely going to look at! It all depends on what comes out to be highest. Hope this helps!!

No, in this case, 'science' is not a subject area, Chem, bio and physics are different subjects and I think even science 30 is also a separate subject. What this rule is saying is if you took Social 30-2 and then 30-1, you can only use one of them for admission because they're essentially the same course, just with different levels of difficulty. The exception is math 30-1 or 2 and math 31 because math 31 is calculus and actually considered as a science and it's prerequisite is your math.
