Thanks for the information. How about Andrea Fournier? I have found his score in ratemyprof more than Hempstead. Do you know also any easy elective course that I can take for my fifth course? thanks.

Hey Guys I already have an undergrad and masters degree from mechanical but I am about to start a kinesiology program. I am thinking about taking Bio 1000, Physics 1010, Chem 1000, one math course and another course. I transferred some of my courses. I just need to pass 48 kin courses + 6 science course in order to get the degree. My plan is that I apply for the med-schools in Fall 2017 and I am retaking some of my courses in order to increase my GPA. Could you please give me an idea about which math courses I need to get? 1013 or 1505? Do you recommend any prof in bio 1000, Chem 1000 and math? I am so confused about what should be my fifth course. Since I wanna complete the degree in three years I can pass 90 credits and I need only 54. It does not matter that I get easy courses to increase my GPA. That would be great if you can help me. Thanks.

Hi All I already have done an undergrad with a low GPA (3.16) and masters of engineering. I live in Toronto and thinking about doing another undergrad degree to increase my chance of getting admission. I am not sure which program I should go for. Biomedical science at Ryerson, or Kinesiology at York? Please tell me about your experience. I am in a hurry and that would be great if you could help me. Best,

Thank you for your comment, and also sharing your experience with me. I really appreciate it.

Thanks MathtoMed, I really appreciate your reply. I am about to start an undergrad program. I started volunteering too. I am hoping that I can get a high GPA and a good MCAT score. I look forward to transferring some of my credits, and use them as elective courses in my new degree so I can finish my degree in 3 years. Hopefully I take the MCAT at the end of second year and apply at the beginning of third year. That is my plan. I hope it works well. I live in Toronto, I am considering which school/program I should go for, do you have any suggestions? Easy program, related to MCAT materials. Thanks you for your comment, that is encouraging and I am happy.

Hi I am about to start my third degree to get into medical school. I live in Toronto, have masters degree and undergrad degree in engineering. Which program and which school do you suggest that I go for? I have heard that Kinesiology program at York is a good choice. Has anyone heard about the science programs in Ryerson? Thanks,

Thanks that's wonderful The reason that you are suggesting I take harder courses in summer is that they do not affect my GPA for most of medical schools?

Thank you for the information. I already have an undergrad (GPA 3.2) and a master degree in mechanical Eng. So I prefer to finish my second undergrad as soon as possible. Do you think I can do Kine or Psyc in 3 years?

Hi Guys I am about to start an undergrad towards getting into medschool. I already have done an undergrad with 3.2 GPA and a masters. I was wondering which program is the best option to do in order to not only pass some of the prerequisite courses but also get prepared for the new format of MCAT. Any ideas? Thanks,

Hi Guys I was considering to have an appointment with one of the companies that provide admission consulting services. I am thinking about having just one session to confirm my understanding with a professional. Do you have any comment/suggestion regarding that? thanks

MD2015 Thanks for the reply. You are right, the chance of getting back to Canada for residency or practice is not high right now. And it will be even lower in the next couple of years. Do you have any information about which degree should I get as the second degree? I prefer to do a short program that has health science courses. Thank you again.

"not my real name" thanks for the information and the comment. I did my undergrad outside of canada, so basically WES calculated my GPA (World Education Services), all the candidates who have done their undergrad outside of Canada should do this (according to the OMSAS booklet). So, I can't do anything about that. Yes, my program was full time. Thanks for suggesting me to use Toronto formula, but it do not think it is competitive at all with other applicants who have masters (3.37) Regarding doing an undergrad in 2-3 years, I prefer to get the shortest acceptable undergrad degree, which has life science courses. Are you talking about doing a 4 year program in 2-3 years (meaning take a lot of courses in each semester) or you are talking about the programs that are actually 2-3 years. Sorry for bothering you. you are right, I have to be careful when I am choosing the second option. Thank you again.

Hi All I read all of the stories and they all were so inspiring. I am in this situation and I have been struggling for months to figure out which option works for me. I would be happy and grateful if you guys can help me with your information/advices: I have a thesis base masters degree from Ryerson University (Mechanical), I passed 5 courses with (2 A+, 2 A, and 1 A-) I have done my undergrad in a tough engineering school outside of Canada: GPA 3.16/4 (two best years 3.79 & 3.41) I am 26 and I do not want to spend a lot of money and time and gain nothing at the end, so I assume that I have the following options: 1) doing another undergrad degree but this time in health science, become familiar with health courses and also prepare myself for MCAT, definitely my chance would be higher, I am sure I can get a high GPA. And with my masters, probably I will be good for interview. The bad thing is that it takes 4 years and I will be 30 by then. 2) Take 2 years non-program health science courses, obtain some good marks and get ready for MCAT, and then apply. The bad thing is that, considering my low under-grad GPA I won't have a chance for the schools that consider all 4 years for calculating GPA. 3) unfortunately, because of my immigration problems I cannot do MD outside of Canada. I am about to become PR, so leaving the country means that I have to give up on my immigration hopes. I understand that by doing the second option I will not have a chance at all for a lot of MD schools inside of Canada. But If you had my situation, what would you do. Thank you so much, Your comments and advices would make a huge effect on my decision.
