Need some guidance and opinions for choosing my premed program.

[Madeleine]

Hello!

I am (yet another) high school student hoping to enter medical school and unable to make a decision for my premed program. 

I was accepted into Western for Medical Sciences, Waterloo for Honours Sciences, McMaster for Life Sciences, and Guelph for Biomedical Sciences. 

I keep reading contradicting opinions on each program, so I'm not really sure which one I'm favouring at this point (I'm thinking maybe it's down to Guelph and Western?)

Sorry, I know it must be a rarity to find a high schooler seeking advice on here and you're definitely not sick of it, but I thought it would be worth a shot, just to get some outside opinions.

 

Thanks!

Go where social supports will be best.

GPA >> MCAT > ECs

Pursue a degree you are interested in and keep an open mind.

Personal anecdote. Went to Guelph Bio-med for 4 years. Loved it. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Know many who share the same experience, they loved Guelph. Even many years after they graduated they still talk about how good it was there.

McMaster was great. But yea go wherever you want to spend the next 4+ years and where you think you'll be able to do well.
