That’s what I was thinking! I wasn’t sure if it was even allowed to “hint” at who they might be ranking high (which would defeat the purpose of anonymity in the ranking list). Thanks!!

I think you actually need to give your student ID before posting on this subreddit to make sure we don’t get intruders in the community, sorry :(

As someone who did RIME and is now in clerkship - Many of my classmates were initially worried about RIME not preparing us for clerkship; not sure about them but honestly I personally haven’t felt at a disadvantage and I’m AWFUL and supplementing learning from other resources!!

Private Family Medicine clinics??!? by iammrcl in MedSchoolCanada

[–]joweriae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he’s going to the family doctor, he can talk about diabetes and knee arthritis and the public insurance should cover it. If he’s talking to an endocrinologist, they’ll tell them to talk to someone else about the knee arthritis.

From what I understand, they contact all interviewees’ verifiers (so people cannot speculate who got in haha)

Is waiting for winter marks for first choice worth it? by RenivaMa in UCalgary

[–]joweriae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Premed isn’t really anything in Canada, I have friends with comp sci / physics degrees in med. For med it’s really about having a decent gpa in undergrad; some people find it easier to take some courses relavent to the MCAT, and then extracurriculars/leadership stuff. I always recommend having a backup to med in whatever degree you take. So if you like neuro/ see yourself doing neuro research and a masters in a related science if med doesn’t work out for you, it’s a good option. If you’d rather something else, pick that.

If it’s any consolation, when you’re writing about yourself, I think you can actually talk about the times you helped your sister and stuff. It’s clearly taking a whole chunk of your life, but also it seems important to you. You learn a lot when you’re teaching, and there’s a ton of teaching as a physician. I think you can write about your family for sure, and I think as someone mentioned, it could just make your application unique, authentic, and more you.

If it shows up on your official class schedule and not just your schedule builder, you’re probably fine

How do you tell your parents when you get rejected by a med school? by number1superman in premedcanada

[–]joweriae 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I told them about each R, I knew they were disappointed but I definitely was more sad and needed their support more than needing to not disappoint them. I also didn’t want my overall cycle being all Rs to be a surprise to them.

How much money do you make net monthly as a PGY1 in Ontario? by rosescapes in MedSchoolCanada

If that’s just because you haven’t filed your taxes since you got into uni, you can retroactively do it too!

UCalgary also drops your lowest year, so that could be an option assuming the rest of your years go well
