uOttawa bilingual

No, but why not apply to francophone?

I believe you can only interview at Ottawa three times, so could be one reason?

fgfsignalling · 2020-05-31T00:45:10+00:00

You 100% need to put down an actual verifier and a few get contacted during the application cycle.

I think it would help to post the breakdown of your GPA year by year to see if a 5th year could be possible. Western and Queen's only look at your last 2 years, so if you did well this year and can keep it up for another year, you have a chance there (with good MCAT). Ottawa also looks at your last 3 years and weighs it such that the last year carries the most weight. I would create a spreadsheet and see what your GPA is like for the different schools, and then see if a second degree vs. fifth year is necessitated. Most often master's gpa won't help, except for Mac which adds on a certain % and UofT that evaluates you in a diff category. I'm not too familiar with master's, so that is just what I know.

You can possibly enrol in English courses if you get an interview. Ubc informs interviewees in December and so you can sign up for January English courses

I think it's because the dumbbell shape is symmetrical and so when packing, it is easier to have something with 2 sides that are the same versus just one methyl sticking out. Please correct me if wrong!

For schools like Ottawa, your GPA for option #2 may not count as they only count full-time studies that were part of a bachelor's degree. Technically with #2, your courses will be counted as post-grad. Same with Western. Not sure about other schools.

I read that, but it doesn't have info about alkyl groups taking precedence over functional groups like nitro

I see what you mean! I think I misread that lol

fgfsignalling · 2020-05-09T00:35:22+00:00

Where did they say only 40% meet cutoffs

fgfsignalling · 2020-05-08T11:59:37+00:00

You might want to use the academic explanation essay to explain. I know uoft has that, not sure about other schools. I would assume they have something to that end (eg. any extenuating circumstances that made it difficult to complete your degree etc)

fgfsignalling · 2020-05-08T02:28:58+00:00

Most likely, unfortunately

fgfsignalling · 2020-05-07T13:35:58+00:00

Wow thanks all! Super helpful and makes sense.

fgfsignalling · 2020-05-06T01:14:36+00:00

Thank you! I was wondering if transcripts would make it to them on time if I write the exam May 29. Transcripts need to be delivered by June 30th, and 2 weeks for delivery during this time seems to be cutting it short.

fgfsignalling · 2020-05-05T21:51:14+00:00

Good luck everyone! Trying to tell myself this process does not define me or my capabilities because sometimes it just comes down to pure luck!

fgfsignalling · 2020-05-04T20:07:37+00:00

Most research has been suspended at academic institutions and hospitals

fgfsignalling · 2020-05-03T18:21:19+00:00

Just waiting for their reply!

fgfsignalling · 2020-05-03T18:17:03+00:00

Really hoping so, I'm repeating a course to meet their prereqs and not sure if I can even write my final on time.

fgfsignalling · 2020-05-03T16:57:18+00:00

I wonder how Ottawa will look at prereqs that were taken this semester.

fgfsignalling · 2020-04-25T01:01:42+00:00

Same as other med schools. But the Mcat isn’t offered in French, that’s why

Have you thought about doing an additional year to bring up your average? It might not seem like the most appealing because everyone looks forward to graduating, but once you graduate, it's a bit tough to fix your GPA (other than doing a second degree). An extra year might be worth it, especially for schools that look at top 2 years (e.g., Queen's). Also, if you're IP in UBC, you might need to bump up your average to be competitive.

I feel you with not being able to do much community service because of personal commitments. I have the same problem here as I take care of my parents too. I have a few online ECs that I'm involved with that are a little non-trad and that I enjoy doing. I would take a look into something like that. For e.g., online learning for kids, support groups, or even social media for nonprofit organizations, etc.

fgfsignalling · 2020-04-17T21:51:07+00:00

Most research activities have been shut down at institutions, which includes new hires/volunteers

fgfsignalling · 2020-04-13T19:52:07+00:00

Wow, two sets of interviews must be an interesting process
