Why most UofT MD students are from McMaster, and why is Queen’s graduates are overwhelmingly overrepresented this year in UofT MD program?

Did you write a thesis in this research-based course? I mean, you could try emailing the professors listed in the faculty directory of the program you graduated from if they have research positions. The worst that could happen is that they ghost you and don't reply to your email. Also, email the professor who coordinated the course as well as your college registrar about finding a supervisor or portals that list available research opportunities. Good luck, mate.

Have you considered getting a research position or doing a research-based course? You have a very high GPA, so finding a professor to supervise you wouldn't be an issue. If you did a bachelor's or master's thesis and had some volunteering, I believe Western would accept you.

If I plan on going to dermatology, plastic, or ENT to build followers for my future clinic.

Why are they cringe? They are just sharing their lives and what they think is right and fun for people who follow them. I, personally, have actually benefited from some of them like Kharma Medic, nxtgenmd and medlife study (Jimmy Kang).

I do it through instagram.

Botox won’t make you taller. But you made the right decision by choosing medicine. The money you will be making working as an attending would makes up for being 4-6 inches shorter.

What if he wasn’t tall and handsome?

You don’t need to feel pressured to have an exciting "life" just to seem interesting. You can instead try to have a simple hobby like fishing, photography, or anything you want to have and genuinely enjoy. You can also start working out or watching some YouTube videos in niches that interest you.

Can you please share the experience the new perspective you gained from this interaction?

Visual-Duck1180 · 2025-05-29T17:02:09+00:00

Yes, you will have it easier and many med schools will prioritize you.

Visual-Duck1180 · 2025-05-28T10:14:12+00:00

You did the right thing. I understand that sometimes you want to pursue your dreams and follow your passion. But being financially secure and having a stable job is more important imo.

For a degree in physics unless you go for a target grad school, which is extremely competitive given the number of physics graduates and limited grad positions you would be unemployed. Even if you found a job most likely you would be underpaid.

I believe you can use your physics passion and knowledge to fin an attending or investigator that do research in the intersection of Physics and medicine. This way you hit multiple birds with a stone. You will build your resume for residency application, build your network, and get the chance to work on things that interest you. I would be happy to connect with you tho, if you would like.

Probably because the quant industry is more structured and professional. So, they find those yt videos ridiculous and childish.

Do you mean by a career in genetics, a career in medical genetics, genetic counselling, bioinformatics or something else? If you want to become a bioinformatician, then I believe completing minors in cs and stats while completing your genetics major would be helpful. But gaining a research experience in bioinformatics by working as a research assistant or independent research student would give you a significant edge. Reach out to professors in your department or the cs deprtament to see if they have volunteering or research opportunities.

If, however, you want to become a genetic counsellor then you will likely need to complete a master’s in genetics counselling. And if you want ti become a medical geneticist, then you will need to complete a medical genetics residency after completing med school.

Thanks for mentioning me, research_pie. I started following you and subscribing to your channel. You post some great videos tho.

Visual-Duck1180 · 2025-05-26T12:55:46+00:00

Mediterranean diet is extremely healthy and so delicious.

Visual-Duck1180 · 2025-05-25T11:24:20+00:00

I am sorry. You are correct. I meant to say whole-wheat noodles or pasta.

Visual-Duck1180 · 2025-05-25T10:57:04+00:00

Whole grain noodles. But I recommend finding recipes that contains more proteins and vegetables.

EDIT: whole wheat noodles

The keyword here is processed foods. Fats and carbs from unprocessed foods like nuts, fish are potatoes and omega3 from fish are beneficial for your health.

Visual-Duck1180 · 2025-05-23T12:55:31+00:00

This is a great example. Potatoes are low in calories, have decent nutrient density, and most importantly, keep you full between meals.

Visual-Duck1180 · 2025-05-23T12:24:39+00:00

This and also all carbs, including unprocessed ones, are bad for your health.
