This is a random photo from google images. But a head shot is along these lines: In my experience, most people tend to wear a nice blouse or button up shirt.

At UBC, a lot of people use a professional photographer (this one in particular does a lot of Carms headshots: http://sarbglaze.com/portfolio/professional-headshots-and-portraits/). While it was a fun experience getting photos taken, I also had friends from other schools who had people take photos of them for free. I honestly don't think it matters too much as long as you look professional.

**unless the spots were dedicated IMG spots, but otherwise yes that's correct

Uh, maybe if you were compromising to couples match with someone. Otherwise, no. Don't try to game the system. Rank your true order of preference.

If it's a smaller program, I would definitely try to attend. It allows you to ask questions, make connections, get a sense of the program, and get your face out there. Having people recognize you is helpful. Your behaviour at the social does matter though and can affect your ranking if you are rude, etc..

Where should I live
SillyPanda replied to h4ppyc4mper's topic in University of British Columbia Medical School
I would highly recommend Fairview area. An ideal location for the 4 years would be: (1) in close walking distance to the 99 B line (along broadway) or the 84 (along 4th/6th) for easy access to UBC. [You are there a lot in first year, and a moderate amount in second year] (2) Walkable to VGH/ Diamond Centre [Very useful in second year and clerkship] (3) Close to either Granville St to bus downtown or Canada Line to get to downtown/ Saint Pauls [Useful for clerkship/general life] Fairview area pretty much meets all of those. -

Unfortunately, medicine can be very hetero- and cis-normative. While this is something that should not matter at all (in my opinion), you don't know how interviewers might perceive it. The idea that you might get flagged for this or that people might judge you makes me so mad - and shouldn't happen in a perfect world - but could sadly be the case.

I was told to list it as a Bachelor program by the UBC med financial assistance officer. -
^ A number of my classmates were on crutches at some point throughout the school year. Might make some activities more difficult (standing in anatomy labs, etc) but you definitely won't be the first person to have gone through that. You should be able to discuss with the faculty to set up any accommodations if needed.

I highly recommend CAPS 301 if you are interested in med. SPPH 200 has also been hugely influential in how I think about the health of individuals and populations. It's a "gpa booster" class, but the content is very applicable and important in medicine. I never took CAPS 390, 391, and MICB 302 in undergrad, but I think they would help to give you a good foundation.
