    • J’ai refusé parce que je suis dans le processus d’admission pour médecine. J’ai décidé de choisir physiothérapie comme 2e choix pour pouvoir réessayer en médecine ensuite si je ne rentre pas cette année. Jai beaucoup hésité entre poursuivre médecine ou vet. J’ai presque choisi de faire vet et devenir vétérinaire car ça a toujours été un rêve et j’avais déjà une réponse alors que med j’ai encore rien, mais finalement j’ai réalisé que je suis plus passionnée par la médecine. J’espère que ça éclaire des choses. 
    • Kikiam, j’espère que nos chemins se croiseront en DMV alors! En semptembre ou dans 3 ans quand mes campus se jumelleront! 
    • radd speaks with wisdom and truth!  You likely will do best in the program of greater interest to you. If that is UdeM, fine. Otherwise, you alone must make the final decision and do not let your parents persuade you otherwise. After all, you alone will live with the results. I took a program what interested me tremendously, I was highly motivated and as I studied hard throughout my studies, I received top grades and was accepted into medical school. However, this came with self-sacrifice. My life stopped for 3 years during undergrad as all I did was study to the point of exhaustion. My program was not difficult but the material was voluminous and whereas I could have floated by on a B average, I had to wrok hard to attain A+ status. During this time, I lost every friend that I had as I had no time for my friends and my s.o., who was supportive of my ambitions, only saw me once a week for a few hours as otherwise, I was studying always.    Remember, there are more competitive applicants than there are seats in med school. Its like a game of musical chairs where there are more applicants than seats available. It becomes somewhat of a lottery amongst competitive applicants. 
    • Merci! est ce que 117e sur la LA pour les collégiens c’est bon pour rentrer en début juin tho ?
    • Merci! est ce que 117e sur la LA pour les collégiens c’est bon pour rentrer en début juin tho ?
    • Coucou, on est un peu dans le même bateau! Ça fait plusieurs années que je tente de rentrer et Med Vet est la seule option pour moi. Les refus à répétition sont très difficiles et cette année, je vois enfin la lumière au bout du tunnel. J'espère vraiment que nos efforts porteront fruit et qu'on sera dans la même cohorte. Si tu es passionné comme moi, je ne vois pas pourquoi ils ne te prendraient pas. Personnellement, peu importe quel campus, je plie bagage et je fonce devenir vétérinaire! Je te souhaite la meilleure des chances pour ton entrevue et j'espère qu'on se verra en septembre. 
    • Elle indique toujours le même message comme à chaque année. Inquiète toi pas !
    • Most students would still rather do FM even if it is their 3rd or 4th choice discipline, than go unmatched (or do a lab based specialty). I wonder if the previous push to make FM 3 years was somehow rooted in the idea that by making FM less desirable, there may be a true reduction in FM physician supply and increase in negotiation power.  
    • FM is still in free fall. If anybody is paying attention, AB government just released their NP compensation structure. Basically NP can earn more in AB than FM in most other provinces lol. Why do FM when you can just do NP school? If I were looking for a residency spot I'd take that Neuropathology or Medical Microbiology spot over any of the FM spots. At least as a pathologist or microbiologist you can get a salaried position with 400K salary and benefits rather than slaving away as FM earning 200K lol.
    • Si tu cliques sur "voir lettre décision" ou "voir toutes les lettres" as-tu une réponse là?  Pendant un moment, il était toujours écrit "demande à l'étude" et je devais cliquer sur un de ces liens pour voir ma lettre et donc ma réponse.  Sinon contact l'UdeM...  Bonne chance avec ça, tiens-nous au courant!
    • Je suis pas mal sûr que tu seras admis pour les deux et ton dilème serait plutôt lequel choisir parmi les deux  alors bonne chance et bon courage!
    • Est-ce que quelqu'un attend encore des nouvelles de UdeM?? Je n'ai encore rien entendu et mon portail dit toujours demande à l'étude...
    • La LA permet d'avoir une idée, mais tu ne devrais absolument pas te dire déjà que c'est terminé pour toi! On ne connait pas tous les dossiers des candidats de cette année, alors peut-être que tu peux être accepté.e direct ou être dans le haut de la LA. Et comme Justin et moi on discutait, avec le campus de Rimouski, ça peut venir brasser les cartes. Il y a plus de places cette année avec le nouveau campus! Garde espoir  
    • Perso je penses que Rimouski ouvre des places qui pour les gens comme moi, med vet est le seul choix. Ca fait 9 ans que je travail fort pour med vet, j’ai passer beaucoup de chemin et je compte utiliser le manque de popularité possible de Rim pour rentrer. J’ai quand meme un super dossier universitaire par contre . L’année passée j’était 49 eme LA et cette année je suis en entrevue.
    • Y'as tu des stations dont tu est incertain ?
