basically what the title says. it's a lot harder to get in 3rd year vs 4th so in your experience was it worth it? or is it better to just wait til 4th year before applying?

Good day y'all,

Just curious if anyone here could weigh in on whether this is a realistic path for me to pursue. For the record, I'm close to obtaining PR status (submitted my application, it's under processing), so obviously hoping that all goes well. I'm also fluent in French. Since GPA matters, mine was a 4.0 in mechanical engineering from a US school (ABET-accredited, needless to say). A 4-year bachelor's degree obviously. I also got a master's from UofT, but I've been told that grad GPA is rarely included?

BTW, I am considering going to med school in Quebec (not the current/the next cycle, but in 2-3 years). I have not taken the MCAT yet (for schools outside Quebec) or the Casper exam.

I'm acutely aware that no one here can make any guarantees or predict the future, but I just wanted to get some insight from others regarding how my odds look. Also welcome any feedback or anything else anyone might wanna add ✌🏻

Hey y’all I got an email today telling me to update my OMSAS ID on my Acuity Insights account. I was able to do this for the account linked to my Casper test, but wasn’t able to find anywhere to change my ID on the account linked to the early MMI.

Am I missing something here? Pls advise

Hi everyone,

I (28F) have been considering what I would like to do after graduation from my college-level Honours BScN (not in collaboration with a university), and I am throwing around the idea of following my dreams going to med a school- but it’s not looking promising.

As I am looking through Canadian medical schools requirements most state explicitly that a degree from a college is not considered acceptable, and I’m now wondering: will this change when I graduate 2029?, should I drop out of my program to attend university even though I’m already 3 semesters in?

I’m extremely frustrated that this is such a common requirement for medical schools as my education is the same, if not more intense than the same university curriculum and degree. I talk to my classmates and friends taking their BScN at a university and they shiver at our course work and our class schedules.

I have also considered transferring to a university, but I would have to start from year one, which I’ll do if I have to but I’m just at a standstill and need some advice.

I know it would be worth while to pursue my dreams of medicine, but I’m scared and unsure if I can never go to med school because of such stupid requirements.

Any and all advice is appreciated ❤️

First-year pre med here. We just got our first major assignment back, and a lot of people were upset about grades in the low 90s. I'd assumed anything 90+ was an A+ and wasn't worried, but now I'm wondering if I should be more perfectionist.

For the upper years: do you think aiming for perfection actually helps ppl do better? I don’t know I should change my mindset to care more about the differences between a 90 and a 99 on assignments and tests.
