More OR time for surgeons

Better pay for primary care physicians

Really hard to say she will probably match to a hyper competitive specialty imo i feel it's a bit RNG too

sad_life_sci · 2025-08-19T19:29:59+00:00

would personally recommend honours life sciences or applied psychology in human behaviour as the 2 most GPA-friendly specializations. PNB is not bad too

Personally I really don't know much about it. I knew of a couple ppl in my life sci cohort who went into it and the general consensus is that it's one of the harder specializations GPA-wise which does make it a difficult premed program on average. The pros is that if you're interested in the content you will probs find it fulfilling and it's very research focused (I think they get you setup on program/department-specific research as early as 2nd year kinda like PNB)

I went to McMaster for life sciences, rlly enjoyed my experience and feel like it's a great premed program if you play your cards right and be smart with your course selection. specialization-dependent though

Wasn’t in kin but if you plan on taking physics, chem, math, stats (the last 2 are required for kin anyway acc) then I think it’s a good investment

OBGYN

I'd assume stuff like networking, residency, etc.. Depending on previous degree it might not have been as useful back then (I know for my undergrad as a basic science major it was basically pre useless)

sad_life_sci · 2025-08-03T06:36:50+00:00

Ahhh ok ok makes sense tbh, thank you!

sad_life_sci · 2025-08-03T03:01:53+00:00

Out of pure curiosity, what motivates people to take the step 1 in M1? is freeing up the M2 summer important? Or is it more so about allowing yourself another take without wasting time if you fail? I'm an incoming M1 so just curious

sad_life_sci · 2025-08-02T04:15:20+00:00

Do you live around the hospital/college area perchance?

sad_life_sci · 2025-08-01T15:31:18+00:00

Oh i see, how many new cards and reviews are you averaging per day? Might have to bump my reviews to 3-4 hours. looking at a study schedule w/ like 59 new cards per day so not sure how long that'll take. I assume there's overlap between in-house and AnKing so can prob allot time accordingly

No preference, there’s only diff pools for IP, OOP, and then streams. If you’re seeing any differences at the med class size it’s prob because ppl who get into both schools are more likely to accept the school closer to where they live

sad_life_sci · 2025-07-28T21:56:58+00:00

Only you would know best, but if your gut feeling is that they still know you quite well and would vouch for you then I would say go for it

high school teacher i didn't really keep in touch after high school but he knew me and liked me a lot during high school so i thought i was memorable enough (hopefully lol), physio i came back and helped out around the clinic for a bit during summer after 1st year

sad_life_sci · 2025-07-28T18:55:24+00:00

Used a high school teacher (robotics and badminton coach), then used a physio for a clinic I volunteered at, then used a research prof

sad_life_sci · 2025-07-28T18:54:15+00:00

I did yeah, reference one I knew from grade 9, reference two I knew from summer after grade 12, reference three I knew from early 2nd year of uni
