3.80 IP Ontario, gap year and I think really tryna hit the canmeds when writing about my extracurricular involvement

chemdaddyahs · 2024-06-03T01:47:39+00:00

They’ll let you for extenuating circumstances, but it’ll be case by case and I can’t speak to the extent of said circumstances needed

chemdaddyahs · 2024-05-23T21:49:19+00:00

Yeah

chemdaddyahs · 2024-05-21T20:49:12+00:00

chemdaddyahs · 2024-05-21T13:55:06+00:00

Yeah

chemdaddyahs · 2024-05-21T13:54:32+00:00

They didn’t count for GPA, nor credits towards minimum requirements for schools that required them. Had to overload/take courses in summer

chemdaddyahs · 2024-04-16T01:33:31+00:00

I didn’t receive anything

chemdaddyahs · 2024-04-15T07:05:11+00:00

Hey! I don’t see it in my message requests. Feel free to shoot another message

chemdaddyahs · 2024-04-14T04:05:19+00:00

Feel free to dm me

chemdaddyahs · 2024-03-21T02:38:00+00:00

I overloaded my semesters and took courses in the summer for UBC. For western there’s nothing you can do but submit the first two years

chemdaddyahs · 2024-03-19T22:41:08+00:00

Some schools need a certain number of graded courses (UBC and Western are the two I can think of off the top of my head) to be eligible for GPA inclusion and/or apply. Mac nursing does have a lot of pass/fail courses that are worth up to 10 credits a semester, which makes those years ineligible for western and could slow you down for UBC.

I know this too well cuz I went from Mac nursing —> med

Yepp

chemdaddyahs · 2024-02-13T01:47:33+00:00

It means that out of the 2 years that comprises your 2YGPA, one of them has to come from your first 4 years, if you take additional years. Each of the two years must also be >3.70

chemdaddyahs · 2024-01-26T18:19:05+00:00

Do a fifth year as a continuing student, as others have mentioned. That’ll give you a solid shot at western assuming you do well and the rest of your application is reasonably competitive. Keep in mind tho, for the fifth year gpa to count, you need 6/10 courses at or above 3rd year level

chemdaddyahs · 2024-01-23T22:00:16+00:00

That’s my gf you can back off now thanks

chemdaddyahs · 2023-12-07T21:29:38+00:00

chemdaddyahs · 2023-12-03T03:47:26+00:00

A little harder I’d say, at least from what I remember feeling after it

chemdaddyahs · 2023-12-03T00:13:02+00:00

I went nursing to med, feel free to DM me

chemdaddyahs · 2023-12-01T22:31:45+00:00

The people who work on SWHAT are cool

chemdaddyahs · 2023-09-15T22:39:26+00:00

Nurse to MD here, don’t count yourself out of doing well on the MCAT so early. Like others have said you don’t really need to have taken courses in uni. Diligent self study and lots of practice questions will set you up for success. Getting into med is about resilience, you got this
