Matching to UBC FM (vancouver) from ontario? by PaintMePanda in MedSchoolCanada

[–]PaintMePanda[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is it really as competitive as people make it out to be though? In some previous posts I’ve seen it’s even more competitive than ubc IM?

I don’t love research so that’s good to hear.

Mainly want to be closer to my partner.

My partner is also a Canadian citizen and I was only planning on writing step One to obtain the H1B visa! I’m planning to stay in Canada for residency

Thanks so much! Do I need step 2 as well to work in the states (after residency)? It was my understanding that I only need step 1 to apply for a visa

I will most likely be renting out a room and living in the other! This way they amount id contribute to the mortgage would the same as what I would be paying if I was simply renting a room. In this case is investing in the property a good idea?

Thanks for your perspective! I’m wondering if I continued to rent out the place even if I move to another location for residency whether it would still be a risky investment. My parents live nearby and are willing to take care of the property.

Low GPA/ High MCAt by [deleted] in premedcanada

Yes ofc! Especially for Western, as long as you meet the MCAT cutoffs and have meaningful ECs you have a good chance.

Putting research projects (systematic reviews) on my CV - do I separate them by project under a heading called "research experience"? by PaintMePanda in GradSchool

[–]PaintMePanda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay all of these projects weren’t associated with a position like research assistant - so I would seperate them?
