University of Guelph Programs: Tuition fees, Ranking, Scholarships, Application Deadlines & Entry Requirements

Good, but I wish the first year was less general and more specific to 'Biomedical Science', it's currently very broad and not too dissimilar to high school.

I received a grade based scholarship, which was based only on my final percentage in grade twelve (top six classes). It paid for my entire year. There are some international scholarships, but it's extremely crucial to fill out the supplementary application or you will NOT be considered for any scholarships!

I believe it is a well-rounded curriculum. All the courses build upon one another and there is a fair amount of freedom to choose electives. One can choose whether they want to focus on human or mammalian physiology as well which I find helpful as some are aspiring to be medical students but there is a lot of students wanting to be a veterinarian (Ontario Veterinary College is based in Guelph).

The tuition for my program was around $4000. There are some compulsory fees for the university that came to about $800, however many of these no longer remain mandatory and students can choose to opt-out. The residence and meal plan came to about $6000 for me (single room, full meal plan). Entrance scholarships ($3000), OSAP ($7000 in grants + loans), and bursaries awarded based on my financial status ($2,500).
