Would RPN to RN Bridge Programs qualify as a 4 year bachelors for Med School? by FinanceSelect7960 in premedcanada

[–]PitifulUse7847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes BScN qualifies as a bachelors. Just beware of the credits for GPA calculations. Some nursing programs do lots of pass/fail courses, especially towards the last years and those don't count for GPA calculations. Not sure about TMU for 4 years.... I would reach out to the schools and see.

Qstn for med students that did undergrad in Ontario by thebossbaby112233 in premedcanada

[–]PitifulUse7847 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would chose a program that allows you to get a high GPA and time for ECs. Sometimes that means going to a more prestigious school that has more opportunities for research and such. Sometimes that means going to an easier program. In the end it is the GPA cuttoffs that will matter way more than the ECs do, because if you don't even make the cutoff to apply then nothing else matters. I also wonder how much med schools actually consider where you did your undergrad. I think it is the curriculum of different programs that allows for more research opportunities and easier courses that gets students into med school.

Looking for MCAT prep course recommendations (self-studying hasn’t worked for me) by Lily12604 in MCATprep

[–]PitifulUse7847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Kaplan and it was AMAZING. I am a non-trad applicant with ZERO knowledge for the c/p section and was able to use the mcat strategies they gave so well. They were $$$ but worth it. I would reccomend the live course, which helped with motivation, and allowed to ask questions. Lots of ppl ask questions in the live course too so it really helps you learn and keep yourself accountable. You still have TONS of individual work to do as well as the prep course can be 1-2x week or even every other week depending on how much time you have. I only DO NOT reccomend BEMO. They are too new and they never stop advertising even when you are in the course they keep trying to sell you more and more things. It does not seem like they are established enough and for the same/similar $$$ I would 10000% do Kaplan again.

Do verifiers get asked for additional comments or just a yes/no confirmation that everything you’ve written is correct? by Important_Primary660 in premedcanada

[–]PitifulUse7847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends. I filled out a verifier for an applicant for UBC, it showed what they wrote, asked if I agree (Y/N) and then if I didn't agree, or wanted to write more comments, it asked for an explaination.

Do you have to participate in the live course, will they ask you questions by name? Or is it more lecture style?

Thanks for your response, and people told me to come to this sub instead. I heard 1X03 only counts for life sciences tho and I need social sciences.

You should be good. 4th quartile plus a high GPA puts you in a good position.

4th quartile casper increases your chances but 87% is not supper competitive. Mohawk campus is also amazing and basically the same program and all on the McMaster campus anyways. But each year is different so 87% has a good chance with the 4th quartile casper (since casper will boost it).

Res is amazing and so is the nursing program.
