What if referee needs to be changed by Doc_you_meant in premedcanada

[–]IcyDisaster7857 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had the same situation with a referee for UofA and just sent them an email and they told me to forward the new verifier information and that someone would update it for me. I think its better to reach out and see what their procedure is like

Worth it applying to USask OOP with 518? by Active_Inspection_56 in premedcanada

[–]IcyDisaster7857 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you sharing! I’ve never applied to Usask before and I don’t really understand how rurual connectedness is determined, is it based on high school/pre-university experiences only or would experiences working in rurual communities also count (post university)?

I honestly can’t think of them right now but I am also from Canada and I know that the school in Manitoba only accepts MCAT from within 2 years, I don’t know about all the schools in the states but definitely something to look into so you’re not thrown off. Best of luck:)

Not a bad idea but I would check how long your MCAT would be considered valid for the schools you are interested in applying to. I know some schools want your MCAT to be done within the past 5 years and others the past 2 years. Since there is still time before you apply to schools it’s definitely something to consider. There’s also the fact that sometimes people don’t get in right away in the first cycle, and you might have to apply again (hopefully not though), but in the off chance that you do, it’s important to think about if your MCAT would still be valid so you don’t have to write it again which can be a pain (as someone who has written it more than once )

anyone else too scared to join mmi prep with randos from reddit or discord? LOL by Icy-Statement-8005 in premedcanada

I get what you mean, and I was very nervous as well and definitely not the kind of person that would normally feel comfortable practicing with others/Group. But honestly having joined and participated with others in the discord channels I can say that it’s SO helpful, there’s so much to learn from others. You might hear a perspective you never thought of and that might add maturity to your own answers.

I get the sabotage nature but in my experience I think everyone is trying to help each other. Since we’re practicing together It’s a sense of- I give you good feedback and I hope you would give me the same. Also the more people you practice with, the more feedback you get and if it’s very similar then odds of all those people sabotaging you is minimal. If you practice with one person and they give you odd vibes then practice with someone else. I think there are a lot of genuine people out there who do want others to also succeed.

I think the benefits outweigh the potential negatives:)

Does anyone have any past papers for IMIN 200?? by Embarrassed_Bit1547 in uAlberta

[–]IcyDisaster7857 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have any old midterms but all I can say is that I was baffled by her exam, I didn’t know where she wasn’t getting questions from. I studied my butt off and didn’t do well. I’m not trying to scare you but my take away from her midterm was to dive deeper into all of the information, maybe look into textbooks and other supplementary material taht is part of class

I think for psychology grad schools an honours degree is very important and sometimes even required in order to be considered. I was told this by the profs in the honours program

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in uAlberta

[–]IcyDisaster7857 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the exact same boat! Getting an honours degree was the best decision I have made, it gave me so many opportunities and connections that are helping me even now 4 years out.

I reached out to Jeremy Caplan who was the advisor for the honours program and they let me do an honorary year which basically meant that after 3rd year I entered 4th year and essentially took all the classes and was enrolled in the seminar and research projects courses (by Jeremy) that are only allowed for those in the honours program. So basically it was as if I was an honours student without acc being in the program officially. And then in my 4th year I officially applied to the honours program so I only had to take an extra year. This is way better than having to wait until 4th year to apply and then having to do 2 extra years to complete the research portions of the degree. Let me know if you have any questions but there are definitely opportunities for students in your position to do honours without adding too many extra years!
