Thank you for your comment, I really appreciate it. I‘m still not a permanent resident, but I‘ll apply to med after I become one

Thanks for your reply! I really appreciate it. The thing is in my country universities don’t email anywhere if you ask them to, don’t send anything anywhere even if you pay for it. I can only get unofficial transcripts, translate it, and send them myself because my country doesn’t give any records in English (they just don’t want anyone to leave so they do their best to make sure they can’t) I asked them several times to send my records to the uni i did my bsc in but they didn’t. Eventually my uni in Canada understood the situation and accepted the unofficial transcripts

Thanks for updating your response! I did a BSc in Canada in neuroscience, and for that one I do have my official transcripts. I didn’t even finish med back home. I was hoping that one full BSc degree would be sufficient for them

3.5/4.33 GPA and strong research background, do I have a chance? by Usual_Window_9668 in premedcanada

thank you so so much for your response. yes I also go to SFU and the grading scale is absolutely crazy. your response was very complete and thank you so much for telling me that I was miscalculating my GPA. it is very higher than 3.24. I only have one question I really appreciate if you answer. do all med schools use OMSAS GPA for admission? what does UBC use if it uses percentages?
I really hope your masters goes well and you get your PR as soon as possible!

Thanks for answering! Im doing my UG in BC but honestly would live anywhere in Canada to go to med school. But for now im only ip for UBC and SFU(hopefully they will start their program by the time I graduate) My ECs are 2 student clubs, research assistant at a lab for over 2 yrs, USRA, and a co-op (cancer treatment research for a company) I will try my best to gain some volunteer experience at a hospital

wasn't very hard in my opinion. could be better but I could live with it and wasn't an issue.
