questions on admission requirements

[mireyhman]

Hello
I just have few questions on admission requirements


1.
I've read the admission requirements and I was not clear about a statement by "College Biology, one year, and laboratory exercises, one year (Credit for advanced placement or pre-college exams are not acceptable as a substitute)" what does [credits for advanced placement or pre-college exams are not acceptable] mean?

I did IB in New Zealand so I was exempted from BIOL 111 (Principles:Organismal Biology) and 112 (Cell and Molecular Biology) which are the required courses for freshman at McGill University. So I was wondering whether the requirement above would affect my admission to Johns Hopkins due to not taking BIOL 111 and 112. However I did other biology courses in other years.

2.
another requirement that I am having a problem is "A minimum of 24 semester hours (or equivalent) in areas of humanities" I have managed to take 8 humanities courses (worth 3 credits each) but then some of them are under Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory option which means the result of that course would not be included in my GPA while it counts as earned credits. Would this negatively affect my admission?

If anayone have answers for these two questions, please post a reply for me. Thank you very much

PS: for your information, I am majoring in Anatomy and Cell Biology at McGill University
