<p>Hey all, I was looking at the Mcgill University and UBC engineering faculty requirements and saw that physics was actually a requirement. I actually took IB Chemistry SL and IB Biology HL instead of physics so I wanted to know if this automatically exempts me from admission.
I also wanted to know about US universities. They dont say that I need grade 11 physics but just 1 unit of physics and 3 units of science. I actually took physics in grade 9 and 10 but not IB Physics.</p>
<p>So does not taking physics exempt me from most engineering schools in US and canada?</p>
<p>no. of course it doesnt. IB students follow different curriculum than most US high school students. colleges take that into consideration.</p>
<p>however, if u are asking to major in a physics related field or attend an engineering school then you chances might be slightly at a disadvantage to the person who did take physics in school.</p>
<p>bump bump bump please!!!</p>
<p>I know that UBC engineering requires grade 11 physics (Whether that's AP, IB, or regular doesn't matter). On the other hand, I don't even know if Mcgill has engineering. If it does, it's not as good as some other Canadian engineering schools.</p>
<p>I see i see. So does this requirement automatically exempt from admission into UBC engineering?</p>
<p>All Canadian engineering schools are pretty much equivalent especially at the undergrad level. McGill and UBC definitely enjoy a good reputation I'd say in similar fields in engineering. I also suggest Waterloo and UofT.</p>
