SARDINES STI's are rising devastatingly in north east Saskatchewan.

Accepted GPA: 3.89 MCAT 505 OOP EC: I just committed my self to activities I'm passionate about Interview: Kept honest, tried to be as true to my self as I can be. Didn't BS any answers. If I didn't know an answer, I said I didn't know but explained what my thought process behind coming to that actualization was. I have no question in my mind that UofC would rank in the top 3 for best atmosphere/environment. It probably gives you the most collegial, friendly medschool experience and leaves you with life-long colleagues and best friends. But Calgary's curriculum doesn't give me the best shot at achieving what I want in my career. Will most likely be turning down the offer in a few days.

Accepted!! And confirmed... MD/PhD program GPA: 3.73 CARS: 129 Much excited. Such dreams. So cloud 9. But seriously couldn't have gotten here without god and the amazing people he surrounded me with. Getting in to medical school was the prologue (a very good, exciting adventure), now the real journey will begin for me!

I think that's an unfortunate circumstance, but I hope you also recognise the privilege of being IP in Alberta as well... There are so many non-traditional students from Ontario (my self included) who can't apply to Western or Ottawa because they didn't have the traditional September - April academic term because of coop and/or other mandatory pass/fail courses. In addition, NOSM really doesn't apply to most Ontario students because most of Ontario's population is in the south and considered "non rural". That only leaves Mac, Queen's and Toronto. If you had a bad first year, you're disadvantaged with Mac. Imbalanced MCAT score? Sorry Queen's won't even look at your file. Don't have a ridiculously high GPA? Sorry Toronto's out of the question as well. Also getting a 128+ on the CARS section just to be considered is no joke... It's difficult. I'm not saying that your position doesn't suck, because it totally sucks in its own way, but if I could turn back time and tell my immigrant parents to choose a province to settle down in knowing I'd want to pursue medicine, I would scream Alberta. Statistically Quebec is the easiest, but my parents already speak broken English, it would be cruel to ask them to learn and understand French. Hope you understand a Ontarian's perspective/hardship as well!
