Direct entry requires recent, strong marks in Math and Sciences. If you’re missing courses or your grades are below 70%, you may not qualify. Pre-Health or upgrading is the recognized pathway for eligibility.
Compare your transcript to program prerequisites. Missing Biology, Chemistry, or Math, or having grades below 65–70%, means you need upgrading. College admissions advisors can also confirm through transcript review or placement tests.
Apply during Grade 12 if your science or math marks may not meet cut-offs, or immediately after graduation if you fall short. Mature students can apply anytime, often completing admissions assessments to qualify. Many list Pharmacy Technician and Pre-Health as backup choices when applying through OCAS.
