6th year, wondering if I should even bother

[ForgottenPro 0]

Hey guys, so basically I'm in 6th year and finishing off my degree (2 semesters off for 2 mcat attempts + bunch of credits that got leftover) and I'm wondering if there's any chance of getting into any Canadian med school. So stats:

GPA: 3.75

MCAT: 519 (127 CARS)

EC: nothing special, hospital/research lab/big brother/suicide hotline

Thanks.

What's the year by year breakdown of your GPA along with your courseload.

Have you considered and over seas medical school?

Or US Medical Schools? That MCAT score is very good! What's your CARS score? You could have a good shot at McMaster with a good CASPER.

What province do you live in? 
I think you should 100% try!! I got in with the same GPA and a 514 MCAT

That's an excellent MCAT, you definitely have the potential. Keep trying, don't worry about the age, there are many people older than you who you'll meet in med school.

Aha I'm not worried about the age, just if I should even try the Canadian med system

That was my main focus until I was surprised with my MCAT score. I'll 100% apply to DO and MD in the states, but if I can go here without spending half a million on tuition, why not?

You would be eligible to apply to UofT & MAC - but you will not be competitive GPA-wise.

Your CARS is one point short for Western - otherwise I'd say you have a chance for Western as well.
