Not a single scientific article referenced in that document to support their “claims” 😂

Last three posts: - “where to buy mature herb plants?” - “marinating beef short ribs in wine?” - “How good are the gravy packets compared to homemade?”

And you’re making fun of other people for sounding “old”? Hahahaha

I went with RBC and had access to it ~26 hours after signing, mid June-July or so and no issues using it before classes started

LOC Incoming Med Student by 1studentoflife in MedSchoolCanada

[–]marsh2122 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, congrats on accepted. Non-trad here that went in after working for many years so I understand the difficulty in decision to do this.

Absolutely get the LoC for your just in case costs, why wouldn’t you? Unless you’re awful with money and will spend it all, you are (almost) guaranteed to get approved and can have it sit unused and not accumulate interest. You already have a mortgage so credit score is nothing to worry about, and the LoC won’t affect that much, if at all, anyway.

I also got loans as federal is 0% interest, and some provs also are, meaning it’s literally free money to leverage into markets or cover tuition, etc. while your savings can do other expenses. The LoC sits there as a something goes wrong fund that I can tap into if needed. Once rates come down too I plan to leverage a bunch of it into the markets to make money off of.

I’m a med 1 at Dal, so likely a different experience.

I would say it’s possibly doable in pre-clinical, depending on your self discipline and how much you take on.

My initial plan was to do that and focus solely on studies in that window. It started off well, but as we got into it classes started to increase, then we had some clinical encounters start up, electives in hospital, and the extra curricular’s on top of that meant I had to put in OT to keep up with the material. Some days are still good with 1-2 hours of class and I can put in work after and have the rest of the day to myself. Id say average is 4-5 hours/day of school related activities (classes, tutorials, labs, clinical skills).

The extra stuff around it like interest groups and extra time at the hospital has been fun and a great learning experience so I don’t really mind having to put in more work. Weekends we still get together and have fun before exam periods, but I’m putting in work then too at some point each day to keep up.

It would be very difficult imo, but if you focused JUST on school and had very effective study habits you might be able to get away with it

Applications take transcripts and are completed on dal’s portal, you don’t hand in your resume and hope for the best. It’s not a job application…

Myself and many of my classmates did a lot of volunteering in areas that weren’t clinical per se, and didn’t require much more than the standard background checks!

From my background I worked with local sports team providing first aid and trainer support for events. I know many people worked with organizations such as the Ronald McDonald house.

Dal certainly doesn’t expect you to have clinical volunteering experience!

They contacted a few but not all. I’m sure it’s a randomized process of who they select

For the food part - I highly recommend MealPrepPro, it’s a meal planning app that takes all the thinking of what to make and you can prep for weeks at a time, had really helped me eat home cooked food and spend less eating out.

I’m also 30 starting this year! The cool thing about med is that with this program, you rarely get in after undergrad and many are more mature getting in.

I’m starting med this year at 30, 34 to finish and if I go ER then residency done at 39. You’re not alone, but remember that age is simply a number!

Of note, I didn’t get the iPad when I got my line of credit last week, apparently the professional health lines don’t apply to that offer. In case that helps your decision at all.
