I'm debating whether to do a 5th year or start a 2nd UG after graduating my first. My GPA in first year was super low and I'm trying my best to compensate for it. - UofT's weighting formula will probably not save me from my first year even if I completed 5 years because of the large amount of credits I have in first year (Waterloo's labs accounts as separate credits & will be included in GPA calculations). I was overwhelmed by the 8 final exams in my first term and didn't do as well on my written lab finals, dragging those marks from an 80-ish to a high 70-ish. Despite slightly recovering in my 2nd and 3rd year, my 1st year marks still weighs down my cGPA due to the larger amount of credits taken in that year. - My MAC HealthSci friends have all received interview invites this year as a 3rd year UG to most of the Ontario schools. I am genuinely happy for them, but knowing about their interview invites makes me realize that I am steps behind them. We're all the same age, from the same graduating classes in elementary school and high school, but it seems like I'm quite far apart in terms of intelligence from them. It's a tough feeling to handle. As for the MCAT, does any one have any tips they are willing to share for CARs? Despite doing well on my EK 101 VR book and AAMC questions, I didn't do as well as I thought I would for CARs on the actual test day.
