Highly doubt this will ever happen considering that USDO and USMD residencies have merged giving both cohorts identical postgraduate training.

Worth it to apply (advice on school list)?
Neurophilic replied to Alegobeh2's topic in Applying to American Schools
Definitely go for it. I'd probably just go with DO given your UG gpa, though. -

Importance of 1st author publication
Neurophilic replied to James kingston's topic in General Premed Discussions
I don't believe it will by any means make or break an application. Will it make you look good? Yes. I would say you've definitely displayed a potential for scholarly activities with your co-authorships. There are many more matriculants that don't even have a single authorship. Don't go crazy trying to get that 1st author pub, rather I'd continue to seek opportunities to remain involved in research. Best bang for your buck. GL. -
Application delay if rewriting MCAT
Neurophilic replied to Medapps's topic in Applying to American Schools
Yes, it'll help you to get verified sooner. The only downside is you'll have to have your personal statement complete that much sooner. GL -
Application delay if rewriting MCAT
Neurophilic replied to Medapps's topic in Applying to American Schools
If you indicate you're writing it again on your app then schools will wait for the results before evaluating. -
If you're doing a Master's simply to improve your med school app, then don't do it. It won't do anything for you. If its something you're genuinely interested in as a backup should medicine fail, then go for it. Most uni's won't consider your application unless you plan on completing your degree prior to matriculation. Not sure if they've changed their policies but Mac and, I believe, UCalgary don't care whether you complete your Master's or not. Just make sure to verify if this is still the case though.

5th year or GRAD school?
Neurophilic replied to recognizingYOLOlate's topic in General Ontario Discussions (OMSAS)
Do the 5th year. A Master's will not help you for Canadian Med schools trust me. -
3.60 wGPA, should I bother applying
Neurophilic replied to connect4's topic in Queen's University Medical School
GPA is too low. Don't bother applying. With that GPA they'll only look at you if you've got a Master's and 3.6 may still be too low. Regarding salvaging the low GPA, a Master's won't do anything for you in Ontario. If you're from another province you could get an acceptance in your home province depending on which it is but not in Ontario. Honestly, your best bet is a 2nd undergrad. -
