I am a second year, and I wanted to take orgo 2213a and 2223b during the summer but I have heard from a few people that some canadian med schools don't consider student that have completed orgo during the summer semester. Orgo wouldn't be apart of my GPA since most med schools take top 2 years, but I just wanted to make sure. -
I am looking to choose a program between these offers. My end goal is med school, but i want a university where it’ll be easy to achieve that goal and gpa without becoming depressed and drained from studying 24/7. I would also like a good atmosphere and one that is welcoming to diverse students as i am a POC. Which program is best suited for me? -
This question is for all current physio students- I have applied to quite a few physio programs this year and wanted to know how possible it is to qualify for a scholarship set aside for PT students? I have gone through a couple of websites and the number of scholarships available is pretty good when looking at the class-size. But I feel like current students would have a better idea of what it actually looks like. I look forward to hearing your thoughts! Thanks -
Hi Everyone, This question is mainly for physio students currently studying at Western. How are you finding the program in regards to teaching techniques and classroom environment? Do you feel like you have a wide variety of placement opportunities in a wide range of settings? I have heard that Western helps students placed outside of London by giving them $600 per placement. Is this true? Are there other opportunities for scholarships etc. I have seen quite a bit on the website but would like to hear others personal experiences as well. Also, how is the living situation in London? Is there a way to find other PT students to rent with, hopefully closer to campus? What about extra-curricular experiences? Also, I have heard that some PT programs are on a pass/fail basis, giving greater emphasis on collaboration and team-work. Would you describe Western's program to be like that? Thank you all. I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

I am a high school student who is considering to accept Ryerson’s Biomedical Sciences program. I have been accepted to Western Health Sciences, Brock Medical Sciences (and their MedPlus extra program which is really good), Laurier Health Sciences, Uft Life Sci, Carleton Health Sci, and McMaster Life Sci. My major concerns involve the arrangement of the coop terms. Medical Schools in Canada require at least two school semesters to be consecutive for students enrolled into coop programs. In Ryerson, semesters 5 and 6 are separated by three work terms. I wanted to know if I would be able to keep semesters 5 and 6 together, then have them followed by the three coop terms. On the other hand, if I choose not to take coop, would I be at a disadvantage since most of the research positions will be taken by the coop students? Additionally, I will be a commuting student and would like to know the general timings of the lectures, tutorials and labs last year. Lastly, are there any additional resources at Ryerson that would help me with the MCAT preparation, or the general application of medical school (including volunteering and job shadowing opportunities)? Even for volunteer research places downtown, won't I be competing with UFT students? ANY help and info on Ryerson graduates in med school would help. My goal is to go to a small university where I stand out. I know people in med schools from all universities except ryerson! My financial situation isn't so great either and therefore Ryerson helps. I have to accept an offer by next week. -

www.MedsHousing.com Listing ID #0017197 London,ON-Downtown Condo Living with a Touch of Luxury – 600 Talbot St. 600 Talbot Street, London, ON, Canada By far, this is one of the nicest condo buildings and the very best location (walk score 88) in downtown London. Sip your morning coffee on your balcony nestled among the tree tops and overlooking a quiet residential street. Enjoy cooking in your modern kitchen with its new stainless steel appliances, lots of counter (granite) and cupboard space and room for a small table. The large, open concept, living, dining, study/den area presents lots of possibilities and is bathed with natural light as one entire (almost) wall is glass windows and glass doors. The two bedrooms (new laminate flooring) are spacious with large windows and natural light. There’s nothing more convenient than having a second bathroom (master bedroom ensuite). Coming in 2nd for convenience is your storage room with a combination washer-dryer. Amenities include a beautiful (salt water) indoor pool with hot tub, sauna, and change rooms with showers. Condo gym with treadmills, elliptical, and weight machine. There’s a large and free outdoor parking lot for your visitors – a rarity in the heart of downtown London. Perfectly located for the medical community. It’s a 5-min. walk to the bus stop where either Bus #6 or Bus #13 (that’s right, if you miss one, the other will be by shortly) will get you to the following locations fast: Schulich School of Medicine/LHSC-University Hospital (12 min.); LHSC-Victoria Hospital (18 min.) St. Joseph’s Health Care (5 min.). If you prefer to cycle: Schulich School of Medicine/University Hospital (13 min.); LHSC-Victoria Hospital (19 min.); St. Joseph’s Health Care (7 min.) If you take a car (or Uber/taxi): Schulich School of Medicine/University Hospital (8 min.); LHSC-Victoria Hospital (11 min.); St. Joseph’s Health Care (4 min.). You don’t need a car. But if you have one, just leave it in the underground parking garage (one parking spot included). That’s because everything else is within easy walking distance in a really nice part of downtown London. Nearby grocery shopping includes (11-min. walk) Covent Garden Market where you can get fresh produce, baked goods, meats, fish, gourmet foods, and/or explore an assortment of vendors and restaurants. The less interesting ValuMart is a 13-min. walk. Richmond Row with its many restaurants, varied shops, bars and nightlife is a 7-min. walk. The beautiful Victoria Park with its summer music and arts festivals and winter skating rink is a 6-min. walk. Take in a concert, a hockey (Junior A: London Knights) game, or a pro (sort of) basketball game at Budweiser Gardens (10-min. walk). If you just want to enjoy nature, it’s a 3-min. walk to the paved pathway (Thames Valley Parkway – TVP) that winds its way (40 km. total) along the Thames River through multiple parks. The TVP also traverses Western University so you can cycle to school/work (12-minute) using this pathway. If you don't have a car but occasionally need one, a zipcar location is only a 4-minute walk away. Business details: Rental application, references, and credit check are required. Available Aug 15th. Or Sept. 1st. $1530/mo. plus utilities (heat/electricity). 12-month lease required. For more information contact Allan through MedsHousing.com web site. I look forward to hearing from you.
