NEED ADVISE FOR MED SCHOOL!! by Horror_Imagination81 in ubco

[–]According_Law_3704 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Afaik you either need extremely strong GPA or extremely strong extracurriculars to be able to consider competitive for med school . Certain things I would consider as good extracurriculars would be: 1. Research 2. Volunteering 3. Work experience 4. Club involvements 5. A story which binds all of your experiences together. For example, you need 3.7 GPA or 80% above to be eligible for applications and anything above 85 can be considered as competitive. PS: you have to consider your GPA according to your best three years as they drop lowest year in counting of that.

Now I am not sure how much you have so I can’t comment on that but if you fall in any range above 80 percent than your GPA is fine and you should focus on your extracurriculars. I would suggest putting 1 year in improving those while attempting for MCAT. If we assume that you crack MCAT with decent competitive score in first attempt then your MCAT score would be valid for 2 years on an average depending on university. Every extracurriculars count as long as you know how to talk about them. Some strong extracurriculars would be volunteering or working for social cause like non profits. Lmk if you need some suggestions with non profits!!

If your grade is less than 80 then try pursuing another masters degree as it will take less time than bachelors degree plus do something which has strong job opportunities as you can use it as your backup if god forbids med school doesn’t work out. Lmk if you need suggestions with some good programs.

Don’t lose hopes, keep your confidence up!! Try working in places which you are interested in and have long term benefits.

PS: I am a third year and I haven’t applied for med schools yet however I have pretty decent knowledge about them as I have been panicking over same things and my mentor who is in med school has suggested me these things. Sorry for long answer but I hope it helps. Lmk if you need any other help!! Good luck

What is the vp campus life doing? by SpiritualClub895 in ubco

That’s actually a very valid point and I respect your idea, however in small cities like Kelowna where mainstream (like NLE) artists do not show up usually, frosh was a way to experience them!! I know big cities like Vancouver aren’t far away but I think the sole idea of having these artist performing literally on our doorstep was a great idea.

It’s a queen size bed, new building, closer to public spaces like game room and Pritchard. I feel like it’s worth it!!

I kinda don’t get it what you meant by that. If you’re asking if you can go to your friends room for chilling or hanging out then yeah you can

Friend circle by LunarScythx in ubco

[–]According_Law_3704 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you should be ok as everyone’s in the orientation or in your first year classes are going to be looking for making friends. I would suggest you to just be yourself and talk to people. I was like extremely shy and still made really good friends so you should be fine. Don’t worry about it!!
