  1. I think there are more out-of-province/anglophone students in McGill, so it's bound to have a lower retention rate than a Quebec university who educates mainly francophones from Quebec.
  2. Ouf, inquiètes-toi pas, tous leurs amis le savent déjà Et tu vois, ville natale = pas d'appart à payer, ce qui est un bon deal en soi XD Des plans pour qu'on me demande dans les réunions de famille : "Hey, j'ai une tache bizarre sur le bras? Est-ce que j'ai le cancer?"
  3. Aussi, j'y avais pas pensé à celle-là, comme c'est pas vraiment un problème de mon côté ^^
  4. C'est précisément pourquoi on donne les pours et les contres pour chacune des université : pour une personne, le pour de quelqu'un peut être son contre et vice-versa (c'est pas très clair comme phrase mais bon ^^). Pour ma part, il y a plein de choses que j'ai dans les deux universités et qui sont presque pareille (côté Campus Mauricie pour UdeM) : petite cohorte, accès aux lab d'anatomie, année préparatoire, exposition clinique... Et ce sont sur les autres critères que ça dépend vraiment, mais alors vraiment de toi (en grande indécise, ce que j'aime de l'UdeM est ce que je n'aime pas de McGill et le contraire est aussi vrai)
  5. Some just want to see patients - not practice. Either way, it wouldn't matter to me, as both clinical exposure programs are volunteering-based : if you already did some volunteering, it's the same thing, except it's a class @ UdM and McGill.
  6. I think the first year is the most different. Med-P is more like another year of cégep : you have very few obligatory courses and you can do anthropology, maths... things not related to medecine. The schedule is definitely not full : I saw one and you can make sure you only have 3 days of school (about 15-18h max). The année prep at UdeM is more medecine intensive, in the sense that the classes are basic sciences tailored on the medical curriculum. And, you have about 25-26 hrs per semester. So, in one, you have more like a liberal-arts education for one year, and for the other, you're like directly a foot in med school Oh, and the Campus Mauricie at UdeM has gross anatomy on cadavers too Renovated anatomy lab and you have access to the plastinated members for studying for your 5 years At the Montréal Campus, you can come during the summer I think too!
  7. That's true, because of the Med-P year, in which you're really not into medecine yet. At UdeM, there's volunteering, but as the prep year is really sciences classes based on the medecine curriculum, we still do it first year
  8. McGill doesn't have early clinical exposure... at least, not more than UdeM, I think? (UdeM has also some hospital volunteering to do, which is the clinical immersion McGill talks about)
