      Having trouble starting my personal letters

      By StainAlive · Posted

      Hi! I'm a 4th-year med student, and I am currently writing my personal letters for CaRMS 2025. I've been looking at several online resources on what a personal letter should be like, but I'm having trouble getting started because the examples I've seen all show different approaches. Some start with a personal story, while others begin with how the writer was introduced to the specialty or medicine. Some letters are addressed to program directors, and some are not. Then, I looked at the personal statements ERAS applicants write, and they seem more like stories. Could anyone help me figure out the structure of personal letters? Are they different from personal statements?

      Admission médecine vétérinaire 2025

      By Lionceau · Posted

      Salut, d’abord pour la demande, moi j’ai appelé la faculté et on m’a donné deux codes de programmes différents (que j’ai perdu d’ailleurs, car j’aurais aimé te les donner) pour les programmes quand on veut faire 2 demandes différentes (dans mon cas, j’ai fais uniquement une seule demande, mais je me rappelle qu’il y’avait les 2 choix que je pouvais mettre dans le panier si je me trompe pas, car ça fait quasiment 2 mois que j’ai appliqué). Pour les documents de stages, de mon côté, c’est dans le centre étudiant et dans la section « tâches » que je vois la catégorie de transmission pour les documents pour animaux de fermes…

      By La loutreee · Posted

      Pour les gens en animaux de la ferme, cette année je crois qu'on ne peut pas faire une demande d'admission dans le programme St-Hyacinthe et St-Hyacinthe-Rimouski, alors je ne comprend pas comment choisir où je veux aller considérant que quand j'essaie de mettre les deux choix dans mon panier, il me dise que c'est le même programme. Je veux appliquer dans les animaux de la ferme, mais j'Ai peur d'Avoir fait un erreur parce qu'il me demande nul part de déposée mes documents de stages d'observation dans mon centre étudiant.  Si quelqu'un pourrait m'éclairer sur le processus de choix cette année par rapport aux campus choisi (où faire mon choix de campus) et m'éclairer sur où envoyer mes documents de stages, ce serait super!! Merci d'avance.

      I'm pretty sure I got mine a month after I submitted my application last year. They'll probably send them all out after the application window closes and they had the time to process everyone

      CCFP-EM 2024 Application

      By Vendar · Posted

      I believe if you get an interview for a site, you get the entire school.  From what I remember from last year - some schools (e.g. McMaster, maybe Sask too cant remember if they said it during social) each site will have their own ranking.  For UBC, each site tells the main PD who they would like, but I think there is overall only 1 ranking order for all candiates.  I hope this makes sense, and this is what I understood last year.
