What is everybody using at med school?
jul059 replied to ToughLuck's topic in Med School Orientation 101
Cool! Do you know if you can search across many different "notebooks" or whatever they're called in notability? That might make me use notability instead of onenote. I just found out my school does not accept Surface Pro for test taking, but I really wanted to use OneNote on the surface. I'm trying to find a good solution, and the search feature across all the notes you've ever taken is really important to me! Thank you -

Du génie vers la médecine
jul059 replied to Micholas's topic in University of Montreal Medical School
Voici quelques infos qui me viennent en tête: - UdeM et McGill sont vos deux seuls choix réalistes au Québec. UdeS se rapproche tranquillement, mais ça prend encore un bon 4.15+ pour peut-être décrocher une entrevue (estimation très subjective!) J'ai suivi l'évolution de ma cote calculée sur 3 ans. J'ai eu une entrevue à UdeM avec ~4.0. McGill, c'est possible mais j'ai appliqué dans le contingent NTP (cegep expiré) et là ça prend un CV de béton et je n'ai pas eu d'entrevue. - Les programmes de génie sont un peu traîtres pour ceux qui y mettent leur coeur et leur âme dans les projets de conceptions. On peut facilement mettre 2 ou 3x le temps budgeté par la faculté, et tu te retrouve à faire l'équivalent en temps de 12 crédits juste pour un cours. Ça passe complètement inaperçu dans le relevé de notes. Si vous savez que vous voulez entrer en med, n'ayez pas comme objectif de "faire en sorte que le projet fonctionne à tout prix". Faites ce qu'il faut, soyez surtout un bon joueur d'équipe, mais au final, vos notes dans les autres cours sont aussi importantes. Ces projets prennent une ampleur démesurée, ça n'a pas de sens. - Si vous êtes prêts à aller ailleurs au Canada, ça vous ouvre des portes. Les Uni où vous avez juste à faire la portion CARS du MCAT: McMaster et Calgary (Calgary aiment vraiment les non traditionnels). Où vous aurez à faire le MCAT mais pas de préalables de science: Queens, Western, NOSM, Dalhousie, Sasktoon. Ensuite Vancouver il faut faire 2 cours d'anglais et le mcat, mais pas de cours de science. - Le mcat je ne le vous recommande pas. essayez au Quebec en premier, si c'est pas possible, le reste du canada pourrait vous accueillir. Mais attention, c'est quand même ultra compétitif! Mais les critères sont différents, alors ça vous donne une chance. Si vous décidez de faire le mcat, prévoyez un bon 5 mois temps plein (même temps et demi!). On part de loin en génie. - Une fois une entrevue décrochée, honnêtement, c'est à 75% gagné. Vous avez déjà 2 ans ou plus d'expérience professionnelle et vous avez passé au moins 20-30 entrevues en tout. Bon... c'est pas gagné, mais le plus dur est fait disons. N'hésitez pas si vous avez des questions spécifiques! -

Could you expand on that? Is it good at recognizing less than stellar handwriting? Can you easily search through years of notes like OneNote, or is somewhat more restricted? Thank you! -
You see, I'm not an expert in that field, and I quite specifically said "I don't know". Tuition fees were probably much lower, but by how much? I haven't seen any numbers on the web, and especially not here. CPI alone has inflated by over 300% since that time, so a 300% increase would not seem disproportionate. Does that suggest that a problem does not exist today? Absolutely not, and nothing I've said suggests this. But being "in a different scenario" does not mean that you can't find enlightening pieces of information by asking people which were in a different scenario but with some similar features. Perhaps instead of calling people obtuse, you could try to see what they're bringing to the discussion?

If you travel a lot, don't you think a travel insurance is a better deal than points? RBC's travel insurance looks like the worse to me. I'm in quebec, I'm thinking of getting a LOC at rbc or scotia or cibc, and to get my credit card at Desjardins, where they offer 60 consecutive days of 5M$ coverage. Best credit card insurance in Canada to my knowledge.

Is there an updated version of the summary document now unavailable in the first post? I want to know where to go to, but reading 52 pages would take me longer than just booking an appointment with every bank . Basically, I want a rate of prime-0.25%, 275k available from the first year and no fees. The only thing I'm interested in with credit cards at the moment is the best travel insurance. Who's best? RBC, CIBC, TD or Scotia?

How to deal with anxiety?
jul059 replied to Gotafriendinme's topic in University of Alberta Medical School
I would even say to do all of those! You can see not getting into medical school yet as an opportunity to grow, experience unexpected things, and discover parts of yourself you didn't know existed! If there are no chemistry jobs where you live, why not got elsewhere? Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom have great working holiday programs with Canada! Try finding a job on Indeed. Want to travel but no finances? Try volunteering with a NGO, and perhaps enter you application in the UN volunteers database. They hire over 1000 qualified volunteers a month! I must confess that although I am extremely glad to have been accepted into a medical school for fall 2018 at 29 years of age, I have done so many things in the last years that I am a bit nervous about actually stopping most of those things and mostly becoming a "med student". My experiences will become narrower, and I will have to put some effort to make sure I keep activities completely outside the realm of medicine. Paradoxically, it may be precisely those experiences that made me excel in my interviews and get accepted. All this to say that you will not stop experiencing disturbing emotions once you are accepted, but they will definitely change in character. Try to make the most of your life right now, and later will come, well... later! -
