collegeboiq Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 Hi guys, so this is a longshot but I am kinda lost with what to do next and in need of some advice :/ So I am a Canadian applicant from Ontario, and I applied to OMSAS schools last cycle (Got an interview from Queens, but didn't get in :/). For next cycle I was thinking that I should apply to US schools as well as OMSAS for backup. I realize that the applications for the US schools have already started, but I still want to give it a shot. So here's my questions: I have yet to take a full year of English, and only have 1 physics with a lab component course ... do you know any school where I can apply without these. If not, can I enroll in these courses for this summer and still apply to US schools this cycle? Also, can I enroll in any uni for completing these prerequisites? Can you also tell me if you think I have a shot at US schools considering these stats: Completed Undergrad in Biochem at Mcmaster in Apr 2018 cGPA is 3.97 (OMSAS Scale) cGPA is 3.99 (AMCAS Scale) Most recent MCAT 516 (130/127/130/129) Very little shadowing (shadowed a physiotherapist for like 200ish hours). Good research (About 2 years of research experience ... 1 first author paper in review). Pretty average volunteering. Decent letters of reference. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Serendi Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 You can take your prereqs during the year you apply, so yes, you can enroll in those this summer or fall/next spring and still be fine. Yes, you can enroll in any uni for those prerequisites. Your GPA's fantastic. MCAT is in a striking zone of many schools. EC seems to be a problem... how's your clinical volunteering/nonclinical volunteering? Will need an actual doctor shadowing for them to count.

bearpuppy Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 I think you'll do relatively well. Try to spin everything clinical. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've volunteered at a rehab clinic before, and am starting volunteering at a general hospital this month. Nothing much apart from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
