Reference letters
Pterygoid replied to merci's topic in University of British Columbia Medical School
if you get an interview, you'll receive more information about the reference letters. you haven't really described your club activity, so not sure how much help this is for you. student clubs aren't traditionally considered community service activities. they're more extracurricular leadership activities. community service are things like: soup kitchen, hospital volunteer, leading an activity for the community benefit (eg free exercises for seniors or individuals with disability). -

To rewrite or not rewrite the mcat
Pterygoid replied to mdpwns1763's topic in University of British Columbia Medical School
how about you actually post your MCAT breakdown.....? -
Can someone please shed some light on the following statement: "A full-time academic year where the equivalent of four (4) courses per semester is taken is accepted and counted in the WGPA calculation only if the missing course/credit is completed either as an additional course within another academic year or as a summer course." My breakdown is: Year 1: 29 credits Year 1 summer: 9 credits Year 2: 32 credits Year 2 summer: 7 credits Year 3: 29 credits Year 4: 27 credits Year 5: 30 credits Would the WGPA calculation consider my Year 3, Year 4, and Year 5 because I have completed the missing credits of Year 3 and Year 4 with summer course in Year 2 summer? I am a bit unsure because the summer course is before Y3 and Y4.

Chances of getting into dental school- please help
Pterygoid replied to Ms. Anonymous's topic in General Premed Discussions
this a premed forum, not a predent forum – regardless, from my limited understanding, averages to get into dentistry is around 85-86% (for UBC DMD at least), so you're on the lower end of competitiveness. Generally speaking, your chances seem lower than other candidates with higher averages. -
Am I still on the right track? Any advice?
Pterygoid replied to michael.10's topic in General Premed Discussions
To assess how you'll likely perform on test day, you need to do a FL AAMC timed. I wouldn't panic or feel discouraged unless you're scoring low on the AAMC FL. -
Looks strong, I'd advise to diversify a bit & go out of your comfort zone in terms of your ECs to make it even stronger.
