FailToSucceed Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 Hey guys, I'm currently a third year student who has had a wild ride in university. My first and second years were bad to the point where I was dropping courses and going to part-time from full-time as well as eventually ending up on Academic Suspension. I returned after 4 months missing one semester and killed the second semester (3.8 GPA). If I were to continue my success for the next 3 years (I plan on doing a 6th year) as well, do I still have a chance at applying to medical school here or anywhere else? Also, would I be able to be accepted to grad schools for masters? I understood that most schools do look at your last year or last two years for acceptance in terms of grad school and I was hoping my 5th year and 6th year would be sufficient for this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.I also have LWD's on my transcript as well as 2/3 Failed Courses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedMaybe3563 Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 Yes aim for schools that drop your worst year, look at last 2 years and best 2 years. Outside of Canada really varies and depends on where you want to go. Ideally the next best option is US MD. Those are competitive but if you have a strong MCAT you stand a better chance. US DO is a bit easier but you are still considered an IMG. Caribbean I would avoid. Australia has some good schools granting an MD and the cost of tuition is basically 250-300 at least. Ireland is good too and they do give their grads assistance with coming back (as much as they can I mean being an IMG is still hard and getting a residency is not guaranteed). But yeah you're fine if you work hard and really want to get into a medical school somewhere. Just don't expect Harvard or something. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
