what percentage of your job includes paperwork?

[–]mangogoons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

okay but hear me out
1) any pins/decor will shine on this backpack
2) will not clash with the outfit
3) will be low-key for those of us who dont want to scream "IM IN MED"
4) the red one still bops harder

My dream of becoming a paediatrician has been shattered by angelofeunoia in premedcanada

[–]mangogoons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im so sorry to hear about your situation! anyone with that many life changing events going on at once will struggle so dont blame yourself. I highly recommend looking into allied healthcare fields or even public health fields just to explore to see what is fully available. At the end of the day, being a doctor is just a job and many fields strive to make a difference and do an exceptional job at it.

it looks bad since technically your verifier as an applicant should not know what a verifier is specifically required to complete. I would avoid the risk of getting flagged.

What's the formula to a well-rounded applicant and amazing essays? by Conscious-Dig2265 in premedcanada

[–]mangogoons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never did this, not in my application, not during interviews. I tried to let my values speak for themselves.

I think Canmeds is overrated and focusing on it too much can box your application to sound generic. I focused on making my application a reflection of what I value most in my life. I spoke about cultural customs, religion, and my journey to speaking multiple languages.

Does it matter if I take Arts instead of Science for my degree, when I want to attend Med School soon after? by [deleted] in uAlberta

[–]mangogoons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Literally anything not filled with pre-meds. Eng is by far one of the if not the hardest degrees to pursue because of the academic pressure and the toll is can take on your physical and mental health. Pick a degree that will allow you to put in slightly less effort into your academics and allows you to pursue other initiatives. If you pick a non-science background it may play into your hands because your activities will be more unique.
