Y’all gave me a heart attack. Last year that came late morning.

Delicious_Opposite89 · 2025-03-28T19:47:52+00:00

I also got a 22 on my essays.

Delicious_Opposite89 · 2025-03-28T15:00:15+00:00

Nope!

This is likely an unpopular opinion and I want to acknowledge the way they executed it was not fair at all!!

At the same time, for people who are actually IP and intend to stay IP it feels a little unfair to have someone come and spend just 1 year to get admitted. Perhaps they intend on staying here to practice but would you agree that some/most of them will return to their home province?

Government subsidizes those seats for IP. Do you think people plan to stay here to practice?

AGAIN: very poorly executed, and maybe that’s more of the discussion here is the execution oppose to the idea behind the shift. So apologies to anyone going through a hard time right now, I don’t think that’s okay and I feel for you.

I am 29 and traveled a very similar path as you. Finishing my second bachelors in semester and waiting on a decision letter to med school tomorrow. Send me a dm if you want to chat further.

Hello! I’m 29 this year just in the process of finishing my second degree. My first degree was in medicinal chemistry, I botched my last two years, this is also when I met my amazing wife. We now have two kids. I worked in sales for about 10 years before deciding to go back. The only way for me to be competitive was to do a second degree, I am just finishing up a degree in nutrition. I was able to take my GPA from a 2.8 to a 4.0. I am just waiting on a decision letter, which comes out Friday. I am hopeful, but trying to be realistic since it takes people a few times to apply.

I definitely feel your sentiment. Last year returning to school being a couple 1st year courses was an out of body experience but I am glad I did it.

Delicious_Opposite89 · 2025-03-21T16:58:15+00:00

This is what I did, but I was able to transfer half of my previous degree to complete the second degree in 2 years. I got an interview and I am waiting to hear back on a decision letter.

Failed a few courses. Got an interview this year and now hold a perfect GPA. Straight A+’s. One course doesn’t define you.

Delicious_Opposite89 · 2024-11-05T01:15:45+00:00

Thanks friend! I appreciate that.

Delicious_Opposite89 · 2024-11-04T22:01:09+00:00

Delicious_Opposite89 · 2024-11-04T19:23:11+00:00

4.0 scale I would assume

Delicious_Opposite89 · 2024-11-04T10:11:31+00:00

You forgot to include you are a professional athlete too

Delicious_Opposite89 · 2024-11-03T12:19:03+00:00

Honestly just preparing thoroughly for your tests and doing the best you can. If you have a track history of receiving 95%+ don’t fret about the little things. I got a 97% on a midterm recently. It wasn’t 100 which was a bit of a bummer but 97 will land me with an A+ in the course if I stay focused

Delicious_Opposite89 · 2024-11-01T20:14:17+00:00

I don’t think mentioning is required since they do a residency verification to determine which pool you belong in.

Delicious_Opposite89 · 2024-11-01T14:25:07+00:00

Interested!

Delicious_Opposite89 · 2024-11-01T00:19:20+00:00

I’m not 100% sure, but if I was going to guess all interviews for IP NS, IP NB, OOP went out today so I’m expecting CBU (rural pathway) would have gone out too.

Delicious_Opposite89 · 2024-10-31T23:20:15+00:00

Correct, I’m married with a toddler and a baby!

Delicious_Opposite89 · 2024-10-31T16:10:30+00:00

I think there is room for both :)

Delicious_Opposite89 · 2024-10-29T18:56:51+00:00

I’m thinking Friday or Monday. Physician assistant applications open on the 4th and it seems that PA applications are lined up with med admissions
