Plans for next year if the waitlist doesn't favour me?

[Guest CalicoKal]

Hello everyone!

I'm starting to think about what I might do next year if I don't get pulled off a waitlist this summer. Not having any solid back up plans, I'm not sure if formal education is still possible at this point. I finished my undergrad this year, and I didn't enrol in anything for the fall. Is it acceptible to work for the next year, or will an admissions committee look more favourably on a candidate who did more schooling? If my UofT gpa for my four years is something close to 3.87-3.90 do I really NEED to do more school?

 

Anyone who has successfully reapplied, I'd love your input...

 

Thanks

<pagetext>I have two questions:

 

I am very interested in attending the U of T medical school in future years, and I was wondering

 

1) What is considered a "rigorous" undergraduate program? I am thinking about microbiology or biochemistry as my major, with equal interest in both. Will a biochemistry be considered more "rigorous"?

 

2) What is your stance on doing a degree in five years, (I plan on doing a minor in arts), while still taking five courses each term? Will this be a disfavour towards my chances of admission?

 

Thank you!
