Hey CES17, thanks for the offer. I completely understand, as I had to do the whole pharmacy registration route after graduating overseas. I will definitely hit you up if I decide to apply to Australia/Ireland. I feel that I'll just keep working on my application for Canadian/American schools and aim to get into somewhere in here. But thanks again, and will keep in touch. Goodluck on your return journey!

Congratulations WTG21! Interesting, I'll definitely look into it. I just know that some classes are P/F and not all programs accept more than a course per year of it (e.g. Western). And I'll definitely hit you up, thanks and hope you enjoy the break before the storm!

Hey, thanks for your advise. That's what I'm guessing, because as much as I would love to return to UofT the prospect seems improbable, if not impossible. But I will take your advise and research those schools. Worst case, I can move to Alberta and live and work there and apply IP after finishing up this bachelor, as I remember reading the guides where they have the 10-year GPA point. Will do the research. As for applying abroad, I would let that be more if all else fails. I have time and 4-5 years, or up to 6-7 years, is something I don't mind. Thanks again for advise!

Definitely a few of us out there who transitioned from pharmacy to medicine, glad to see you are enjoying it despite how long it may have taken - gives me inspiration. Will hit you up!

Hi, I'm a pharmacist working in Ontario and wish to apply for medicine (it was always the goal -- long story). I've been able to pay off loans and whatnot and now am ready to apply. My stats are: UofT undergrad: 2.68 Pharmacy undergrad (completed in the UK): 3.36 MCAT: 506 (125/127/127/127) Quite extensive EC (sports, arts, dance, community work both within lower-income and new immigrants) No publications/research completed as of yet My gameplan is to do another UG and redo the MCAT. The next UG degree is actually something I'm interested in and was going to do if I didn't get into the pharmacy program in the UK. Anyways, I don't mind the long road (being financially stable and relatively young helps), and am interested to do a masters as well to strengthen my application. There will be research and a publication I will be participating in over the summer of 2017. As for work, I'm working part-time/relief so I can devote all my time to my studies. Just looking for any feedback, guidance, critiques, or suggestions for things that I may have overlooked. Thanks for taking the time to read through this.
