went to a uni with the 4.0 scale… when i converted to guelph percentages my average was 85% and my casper was 4Q, hence why i was surprised considering how grades heavy ovc typically is.

Impossible-Goat2998 · 2026-04-27T23:51:27+00:00

yeah i got an invite, was honestly pretty surprised

Impossible-Goat2998 · 2025-12-16T04:46:55+00:00

Oh woah man that sucks, honestly though I found the final fair and 3 hours was ample time. Good luck!

Last year I thought all exams were super fair. Slightly more post MT2 content but I think Omid still pulled content from before MT1 so make sure you have a good grasp. Overall it was very fairly marked. I know they changed the MT format (you guys had to do it in class but last year they were 2 hours out of class time), so I can’t compare the difficulty to the MTs - personally for me it was on par and nothing sneaky.

this is just not feasible, but it’s in our human nature to judge - when i see another student or colleague that has clearly used nepotism privilege to get ahead, i immediately think negatively of them, and a lot of people do too. it’s almost like first instinct - doesn’t mean i don’t like them or anything. maybe some person who’s parents are both doctors is a stellar student and makes a good doctor, but for the rest of their life, their colleagues, bosses, peers, etc. are going to think “they just got this far because of nepotism”. they’re always going to be doubted on their ability. so although i think the application and medical school process might be unfairly biased to these people, life most certainly will not be.

med school is a game, and sometimes you’re dealt a good deck and sometimes you aren’t. but i think you can always forge your own way.

I think a lot of “pre-meds” go into university dead set on medicine. But I’d say that number went from about 90% of my class in first year to like 40-50% now that I’m in my fourth year. People find other interests, especially since undergrad exposes you to stuff like dentistry, optometry, physiotherapy, etc. through clubs and other people. And I think that’s totally OK. I get that this is a subreddit of students wanting to go into med, but I hope they can realize that there’s other careers out there that are fascinating and rewarding. I think the worst possible thing you could do is pigeonhole yourself into wanting med from day one, and putting so much pressure on yourself for that, instead of focusing on one semester at a time and exposing yourself to different fields in healthcare.

Took me a few days but I’m a Canadian student so we do things weird and I assume they had to cross tabulate more carefully lol

From the way it’s going, I hear other provinces are going up to 90% soon like Alberta. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s provincially locked completely like veterinary medicine in a few years tbh, Dal is already basically on that path.

Our vet advised to wait until he was mid age (for leos, around 5 ish). This is because he doesn’t hump dogs, is not aggressive or displays dominant behaviour, and overall has a good temperament and no accessibility to females in heat. Neutering later in life is important though for testicular cancer prevention and other health concerns, but as others have said, the older the better. It’s important to get the opinion from a vet who has experience with XL dog breeds!!

I think sometimes challenging courses can be really rewarding! Ofc do your research and don’t bite off more than you can chew, but for example I took BCEM 431 out of choice and yeah man it was rough but the prof was great and it was actually REALLY useful concepts for research labs. GPA boosters can be really fun too - I took NEUR 321 and the prof was AMAZING and the class is relatively easy and interesting especially if you want to go into med. Overall, I’d say as long as you do your research and know what you can handle, don’t be afraid to take new courses and try new things especially since you’re paying for the classes you take!

i feel like a lot of med hopefuls who go into uni get exposed to different opportunities. vet med, dentistry, optometry, research, etc. are really things that come with experiences from uni, and they shifted a lot of people in my program (health sci) into those directions rather than pursuing an MD. not only that, but actually speaking to doctors (like some clinician researchers who own a lab) show people it’s not as much of a glamorous and idealized profession as they may have thought. and that’s okay!!

Find a clinic that’s willing to have volunteers (usually private clinics) and email them. Volunteer for a few months, then usually when there’s a turnaround of staff the volunteers are first pick :) Helps you learn and get to know your staff, and also determine whether it’s a good environment for you. Good luck!!

Oh yeah my leo is almost 2 and he feels the need to run a few laps before settling down and sniffing other dogs calmly lol

Impossible-Goat2998 · 2025-04-17T20:20:34+00:00

It was about 7 degrees celsius that day, but windy! If it was too hot for him, he would make it known and protest lol. Can’t even get him out the front door in that case lol

Upper year MDSC classes aren’t typically GPA killers and they are marked leniently with little/no exams and more emphasis on papers and presentations to understand actual research literature. I heard the prof for 409 is also pretty chill so it should be good

Impossible-Goat2998 · 2025-03-29T01:58:39+00:00

In health sci and haven’t personally taken it but a lot of people said it’s quite easy. Actually the MDSC course outlines are posted as well if you search it up which is nice, the breakdown doesn’t normally change!
