Plz Don't Tax My Cigs Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 Hey all, After just turning 30, the appeal of being a hard bodied, dirt covered, working class man vanished and I decided to return to school in the fall. As a non-trad I'm not too worried about fitting in with the younger kids as I've been told that I look young. Neither am I too concerned about my ability to do the work, as I've finished my first year (with some struggle) with pretty decent grades. Nothing special, but nothing that could irreparably hurt my chances when applying med school. What does concern me is potentially having to uproot my life to move to a far away Med school, and then perhaps having to move Again for residency. Getting in to U o T would really be the best case scenario, as I wouldn't need to move, or really have to worry about residency since I already live within the city. McMaster would be a close second, though I would prefer not driving to Hamilton for class. So now this brings me to my question: Does U of T accept non-academic non-trads? I haven't really seen any in the recent years. I ask this because I browsed the non-trad success stories looking for other non-trad U of T acceptances, and many of them seem to have come from some sort of academic/scientific background, such a master's program/ PhD/ research etc. When I say non-academic non-Trad I mean a non-trad with only an undergrad, competitive GPA, and MCAT score.

conbrio Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 Somebody's found the fountain of youth! Hope you share the location with the older med students. Non-trad is a pretty broad term- plenty of successful applicants come from having worked a job before or after undergrad. For all intents and purposes you'll apply and be considered as an undergraduate applicant. Wishing you a very good outcome- people always have a favorite location for school but often have to end up moving somewhere else.
