Applying To Medical School And Graduate School At Western?


Recommended Posts

Hello!

 

I looked around for this topic but couldn't find it addressed.

 

I applied to Western medical school and I think with my stats I should be able to get me an interview. However, I wrote the old MCAT and it expires this year. If things don't work out, I think I'm going to change my career path to some other masters (either Math or Engineering or maybe health sci). However, I know that I would have to accept an offer to graduate school (likely March or April) before I find out from medical schools in May. 

 

If I accept an offer of admission to graduate school at Western, but later get accepted into medical school at Western, would I be in any trouble for withdrawing from the graduate school program? I wouldn't have paid any fees or anything. I know this may not bode well with some professors, but would it cause any issues? I could try talking to them beforehand too. 

 

Is there any communication between the admissions committees at Western graduate school & OMSAS / Schulich School of Medicine?

 

Thanks for the help!

No, you are ok. It happens pretty frequently.

 

However, out of professional courtesy I'd recommend you be upfront with your graduate school supervisor about your medical school intentions.
