9. Each course and lab must be completed with a C grade or better. Courses that have not been completed with a C grade or better will not be considered. BIOL 2320/2325, 2420/2425, and CHEM 1110 must have been completed within seven years prior to application to the program. NOTE: BIOL 1610 /BIOL 1615 , although not required for the program, are required pre-requisites for selective admissions course requirements (BIOL 2320/BIOL 2325 and BIOL 2420/BIOL 2425). Students may transfer BIOL 2320/2325 and BIOL 2420/2425 equivalents with appropriate grades without completing BIOL 1610/1615. Similarly, CHEM 1110 is a required pre-requisite for BIOL 2420/BIOL 2425. For students transferring in with BIOL 2420/2425 equivalents, CHEM 1010 is accepted for selective admissions course requirements.
