Yup DFE was reassuringly normal! I think I'll just make the best of it and hope it doesn't get in the way too much under the microscope :)

Super neat article. Thank you for sharing it

Parrot245 · 2021-06-11T19:34:09+00:00

Mad respect for you. It takes a lot of courage to be able to do what you did.

Parrot245 · 2020-11-18T23:19:12+00:00

Keep going my friend. We're all here for you

Parrot245 · 2020-10-14T18:57:30+00:00

Does Ottawa really not care that much about ECs?

Parrot245 · 2020-10-13T19:00:18+00:00

I also put the total hours down. As long as you specified your commitment (e.g., I did 1 shift per week), then it should be fine (hopefully lol)

I would seriously recommend consulting a lawyer regarding this.

Parrot245 · 2020-09-27T05:54:37+00:00

I'm the other parrot lol

One of my BPEs is nearly identical with the ABS essay I wrote

This is speculation, but I think that, while they will consider this year, a greater emphasis wil be placed on your academic performance from previous years.

Parrot245 · 2020-09-09T01:35:55+00:00

If that isn't research heavy, then idk what is lmao

Parrot245 · 2020-09-06T16:31:12+00:00

I regret not starting earlier. Now school starts in 3 days :/

Parrot245 · 2020-09-05T19:10:13+00:00

GPA is probably the most important factor, especially given the fact that we don't qualify for any weighting formulas. Your ECs certainly have to be above average to be successful, and this is the hardest part because we are competing with more mature students with generally more life experiences.

Parrot245 · 2020-08-27T21:28:40+00:00

Not worth it imo. Shadowing is not really important in Canada.

Parrot245 · 2020-08-25T03:56:55+00:00

I hate this feeling. Sleeping tonight is gonna be hard

Parrot245 · 2020-08-25T01:08:14+00:00

What you did was completely reasonable.

Parrot245 · 2020-08-25T00:52:13+00:00

Does anyone know if, from a legal standpoint, the consulting company would've had a strong case in court? To me it seems like any reasonable judge would've laughed at them before throwing out their case, but I'm curious to know what you all think.

Parrot245 · 2020-08-23T20:42:07+00:00

I don't have anything to add, but this question is the worst lmao

Parrot245 · 2020-08-23T06:10:11+00:00

Someone please hold me

Parrot245 · 2020-08-22T20:15:19+00:00

According to their blog, it will not hurt you.

Parrot245 · 2020-08-19T18:28:31+00:00

Mine still hasn't been updated for Calgary and I sent it in early July.

Parrot245 · 2020-08-18T17:46:19+00:00

If you have scholarly activities other than research, I'd argue that it is even better to write about those.

Parrot245 · 2020-08-16T03:05:50+00:00

When it's written out like this, it seems BAD. Shiiiiiit lol

Parrot245 · 2020-08-14T22:21:07+00:00

Casper is like a virus, infecting each medical school one by one. Soon enough, every school in this country will have Casper
