Second Undergrad Degree? I'M LOST
PsychSurgMD replied to PsychSurgMD's topic in General Premed Discussions
Thanks so much for your response! All of these points help a lot. Is there any reason you chose to do the BA in kin at york over other UG's you could've chosen? Also was your UG from uoft a BSc in life sci? Also I was wondering, do you know/heard of anyone applying to Uoft MD with a second UG? They posted on their admissions blog that you can use the Academics Explanation Essay on OMSAS to explain to them why they should look at only your second UG and not your first and they take that into consideration when admitting people. -

Thanks, this makes sense. What about my EC's? Killed myself to have all the EC's I do now, but I just don't see it being worth it for me to continue the multiple EC's I used to have. I was thinking of just securing a paid research position at a good hospital or university lab, and mental health volunteer work. Maybe try to get a publication too. I don't think I'd have the capacity to do more, but I also know just stopping all my EC's wouldn't look good on my applications. Thoughts? -

Basically, after getting 50s and 60s in first year, I became really depressed and gave up on my dream of getting into medical school and becoming a surgeon or a psychiatrist. I did my degree at uoft in psychology (which I love btw), and just gave up on medicine. But i h

Hey, my GPA from the last 2 years is around a 2.5, and I also didn't take a full 5 courses in all those semesters (max I had was 4, I did summer school), so basically my whole record is a mess. That's why I wouldn't be eligible for queens or western either *The only reason I applied to Uoft MSW and nursing program at uoft is because they look at only the final year of study, and my projected for that is around a 3.6 -
