Almighty Saguaro reacted to a post in a topic: Western Financial Assistance Application

For those of you who have interviewed here, did you fill out parental information for the Schulich admissions bursary? The application specifically says "If you have been out of high school for at least 4 years (since 2012) as of the start of your study period, parental income information is not required. Enter "0" for these values.", but I remember hearing that even if you've been out of high school for >4 years and OSAP considers you financially independent, you still need to put in parental information. It's quite possible that I'm mixing this up what I was told at UofT, so can som

Wording Of Rejection Letter
Almighty Saguaro replied to Curiousaboutapps1's topic in University of Ottawa Medical School
Does anyone know if some applicants did NOT get the part about the vacancies? I'm wondering if there's a different email sent to those who did not meet some of the admissions requirements or if the vacancies thing is just part of the rejection everybody gets sent (whether or not they actually qualify for the interview stage) -

Uoft Interview Invites/regrets 2016
Almighty Saguaro replied to Leon's topic in University of Toronto Medical School
Invite GPA: 3.92 (close to 4.0 with weighting) MCAT: 35 (12/11/12) In-province Year: Currently in 4th Year UG. ECs: Really not as impressive or diverse as what I see people post on here. However, I did have lots of first-hand clinical experience (caring for my own patients under limited supervision) that I was able to draw on for my essays. Essays: Kind of did them last minute due to being severely burnt out from doing American applications and coursework all summer...oops After an unsuccessful cycle last year, I realize now that sometimes, the less desperation you put int -

Ask A Mac Student: Interviews Edition
Almighty Saguaro replied to Birdy's topic in McMaster University Medical School
Thanks for doing this, Birdy. With regards to "health care topics" would you say that knowledge of these is required to perform well on the interview, or is it just a nice thing to add to your responses? Basically, can you do well without being particularly well-versed in "health care topics"? Sorry if the question is a little vague. -

What exactly does the bolded mean? The Royal College site says it's a "new subspecialty of diagnostic radiology" It seems in the US, there are solid plans in place to make IR a direct residency program in the US, but I'm not sure what the plan is in Canada. Thoughts? @W0lfgang @W0lfgang @Lactic Folly @Lactic Folly

Excellent. Thanks for the reply. I rather like Weir so I guess I'll continue trying to keep up with it as I find that, like you said, the stuff that doesn't come up everyday tends to be less easily recalled. If you say it's resident-level knowledge then I guess it would serve me well when I shadow and/or help out in the radiology department.
-
Yeah, sorry that was vague. I have used it extensively in the past but I would like to know what the level of detail in that book corresponds to. (i.e. for someone who's familiar with the content of the book, how would you rate how much they know in terms of what is expected of a medical student or radiology resident.) Not sure if this makes a little more sense...

All Things Matching Nrmp
Almighty Saguaro replied to GGGSaint's topic in Applying to American Schools
By the bolded, are you saying that if one manages to match to an "elite level" residency, then getting an H1B will not be a problem? -

I thought transcripts and MCAT were all due August 15 with the primary application?
