Hey guys! So I am having trouble seeing myself compared to the other applications as I've seen people online with stellar stats get rejected whereas people with lower scores/less ECs compared to them get acceptances.

Hey guys! I have recently found out that US med schools under the LCME can allow residency in Canada. If I were to do my undergrad in Canada and go to an LCME med school in the US, would it be easy to get residency in Canada or not? Thanks!

Hi guys, I am going to start my undergraduate degree in September 2021, which means if I got into med school in the first try I would start in 2025. When would be the best times to take my attempts on the MCAT? Like when is too early and how much should I space out each attempt?

Hi, I'm applying to uottawa med school this year, but as I'm studying in NB and enrolled in a french university I'm considered in the CNSF french stream. Has anyone been down this path and if so do I have a chance? -
Can anyone provide insight on choosing between Calgary and McMaster for med school? In terms of program, matching for residency after, heaviness of schedule, etc? Any insights would be hugely appreciated! My friends and family are all closer to Mac but I think Calgary is a way more beautiful place to live.
