I have no doubt about them being pragmatic, which is fine. However, practically speaking, if someone is not wanting to work hard (which this person clearly is not wanting to do by suggesting they want an easy way to get grades) then it does not bode well for their success later on. It's important for them to learn how to study in a rigorous program and to be able to manage their time well (balance study with other aspects of life). Their prior undergrad experience (whatever the reasons were) makes it seem that there is room to grow as a student. If they do not possess those skills going into med school, then they are going to have a difficult time. Practically speaking, I would think it is more pragmatic to develop the skills needed to succeed at studying medicine and life as a physician (if that is one's desire) then to seek an easy way to a medical school acceptance. I think they would be doing themselves an injustice by doing so.

Like the person above stated, there is no best major for getting the most competitive GPA (even if you think there is, there isn't). If you would prefer sociology or psychology (which are great courses), then go for one of those. Challenge yourself, do something you want to do, and enjoy it. No one on this website can give you the answers you're seeking. It also seems like you haven't done much of your own searching, have you tried googling what programs are available at the different schools in NS? Have you reflected on why you found engineering hard? Or why you weren't able to obtain a 'competitive' GPA with the degree you already have? (Maybe you didn't realize you wanted to go to med school and it was too little too late, and that's fine!).You said you "do not want to be again in hard undergrad once again after the engineering", which suggests that you're not willing to put in the effort it takes to get into med school, let alone actually study medicine (which is very hard and just so happens to be classified as an undergrad degree). Your post comes across like you're expecting to go into an "easier" second undergrad, do really well, and then get accepted. You have a long road ahead of you, so be prepared to work! If you're not willing to work hard to get into med school, then you're not setting yourself up to succeed once you get in. I apologize if you're just learning English, but I'd suggest taking some English/grammar courses to improve your writing (it really impresses admission people when you know how to write properly).

Sorry, yah electives in 4th year are typically national, some people do international electives for fun. You are travelling to the programs/schools and doing 2 week (or so) long electives. Then in the winter of 4th year you do CaRMs tour, which you are interviewing for residency spots at programs/schools.

The year that you could potentially be away from the Saint John campus is really just the 3rd year of med school, because in 4th year you travel for electives and interviews the majority of the time. You have plenty of work between now and then; so I would not worry about it too much. However, that being said, the 5 teaching sites are Saint John (Block style) and the 4 LIC sites (Fredericton, Moncton, Miramichi, and Waterville). You do not rotate between the sites; for third year you will be selected to go to one of the 5 sites and study/train at that site. You may sometimes be required to work in the community at say a family docs office or travel to a nearby hospital for different experiences. But, you are based out of that one site. As for the selection, you rank the sites in preferred order and it is lottery style (at least for now that's what it is like, could change by the time you come to this).

It's a tough situation! If your interview score is low (I believe below 24 or so) you're not admitted, no matter your other stats.

Have you attempted to apply to Maritime schools being from NB? You're stats are certainly competitive and demonstrate that you can succeed at rigorous studies. I had been applying since 2010 as well, and got in on my 4th try. Do not give up if you truly feel like this is what you want.

Accepted!! NB Applicant. Will be declining offer.

ACCEPTED!!!! NB Applicant!!!!! Cannot wait!!!!
