This raises a really good point that overall it comes back to problematic political influences. Both Canada and USA had institutionalized racial assimilation for BIPOC (e.g., Indigenous residential schools, Chinese Exclusion Act, labelling Asian Women as foreign prostitutes, etc.), and to be honest, cultural heritage and original language is forcibly replaced and the "westernized culture" is subsequently past on into the future. I agree that race is often conflated with other factors, but if we look towards the history of the foundation of this country, it really was race that forced the division and development of a labor system (i.e., slavery, discrimination Asian pay on the railroads, forcibly stealing of Indigenous lands, etc.) In my opinion, whiteness is a privilege in the western world and so is being wealthy. But more often than not, they are mutually inclusive with each other.

This may help: https://www.ouac.on.ca/faq/accept-offer-remain-on-wait-lists/ I'm not sure if you are taken off all acceptances, but in Ontario once you've respond to one Ontario school, you're remove from all waitlists, so I would assume that it would extrapolate to acceptances as well. Best to call OMSAS or the individual med schools (if you have offers from outside of Ontario)

Being a multiple re-applicant (and finally interviewing for the first time last year), the annual process of writing essays, applications is really taking it's toll. I'm retaking the MCAT AGAIN (3x) to open more doors. Family is of lower SES, so my family is usually never around due to difficult work schedules. When I want to vent to friends to at least get rid of the bottled up feelings about this process, they either don't understand that feeling of being a reapplicant OR simply tells me to "give up, it's not worth it." But to me, medicine extremely worth it and I am intrinsically motivated to succeed . But when times get rough, it would be nice to have a support system to rely on. Has anyone been in the same situation as a reapplicant? What has helped you?

English stream is also full.

I remember someone make a post previously stating that when they asked admissions, they told him/her that GPA is still looked at competitively, meeting the wGPA cutoff pushes you to a file review where the wGPA is still considered.

Thanks! Yeah, I emailed admissions and they said you can use a pass/fail course from the summer of one year to make up the missing course (provided it wasn't a prereq) in another year. It's definitely good to get a solidify answer on this

Might be overthinking it, but can a summer course that was graded on a CR/NCR basis be used as the "additional course" to a 4 course semester in a full time academic year?
