BWM92 Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Hi everyone, I'm applying for the 2018/2019 cycle and MUN is my top choice. I'm 24, have NB residency, but am in NS to complete my master's (should complete around December). Most people I know in med school went to Dalhousie so I haven't heard much about what it's like applying/interviewing at MUN, especially as someone with a non-traditional route. I'm looking to connect with non-traditional students who have been accepted. What was your trajectory towards medicine? How do you think your non-traditional journey to med school played into your experience applying, but especially interviewing, at MUN? All the best, Emily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose I meant non-trad in the sense that I took a gap year after my undergrad and then began graduate studies. I think I've been listening to too many American pre-med podcasts, where anyone who doesn't enter med school after applying in their 3rd year of undergrad is considered non-trad haha.

It's very much the norm now in Canada to take more years to increase chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeybbq Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Hi, I am very much interested in knowing the experience of people who went through the non-trad pathway. I did a PhD in biochemistry and I wanted to pursue my dream... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plansformed2015 Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 I agree that completing a PhD (or extensive work experience) is a much more non-traditional path. Luckily you will see many PhDs posting whether they are applying in this cycle or whether they are already accepted into an MD program! Best of luck!
