Hours for Western
TheStern replied to whatsup's topic in University of Western Ontario Medical School
Can you give a specific example? What hours did you submit vs what hours you actually did -
Rheumatology and Endocrinology Competitiveness
TheStern replied to Premed12345's topic in Medical Student General Discussions
Once you're in your 3rd year of IM can you apply to a subspecialty anywhere in Canada? E.g. a UofT IM resident applying for rheumatology in Calgary? -

Everything online ? (Rant)
TheStern replied to dooogs's topic in University of Western Ontario Medical School
I think it's completely unacceptable. Virtual learning in a pandemic is perfectly understandable, but why on earth would they tell us to live in the city we are learning in? If every single aspect of learning will be virtual? There goes 10k for the year for literally no reason, thanks Western.. -

There isn't (in Ontario at least). As long as you apply by the due date there is no advantage to applying early

I think that some pre-meds are so focused on getting in, that they look at things through the lens of "is this fair to me as an applicant?", which is understandable. But the admissions committees have to consider more than just fairness for the applicants - they are deciding who become the physicians in our communities. That's a tremendously important task. The lack of black and Indigenous physicians in our society is an issue that needs to be addressed so that different demographics can feel represented by the medical community and be properly advocated for. Does this put students who ca

My experience doesn't really line up with that - I interviewed at Ottawa and was ultimately "good-waitlisted" but accepted a different offer. My ABS consisted of a bunch of activities, but none I had a super intense commitment to (definitely not close to 10-15 hours per week). I worked in research the past year after graduating, but that was a full-time job and not an extracurricular/volunteering

No research or awards
TheStern replied to bigsadpremed's topic in General Ontario Discussions (OMSAS)
To add to what other people have said, it is very school-dependent. For example, U of T seems to value research quite a lot, while McMaster wouldn't consider it at all (they only look at GPA, CARS, and CASPer) -

Online First Aid and CPR Courses

Just gonna give this a boost in case anyone knows of any recommendations -
It's still unclear (to me at least) what exactly this means. Let's say 100 students are re-applying next year with guaranteed interviews. Does the number of students receiving interviews immediately jump from 550 to 650? Or will they pick 550 students, and then add those who were guaranteed interviews. So let's say 30 guaranteed interviewees were not in the 550, then the number would jump to 580. The way it's phrased kind of makes it sound like the former, but it's not 100% clear and that option makes much less sense to me
