Mcgill Med-P CV activities done during high school

[NervousStudent]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if it’s ok to put high school activities on one’s CV for Med P.

I personally did much more in HS than Cegep (because of both COVID and having to study more), so I was wondering if those extracurricular + volunteering activities I did still count?

 

I was also wondering how exactly I would go about verifying skills shown in these activities that may not have been recorded. For example, I did génie en herbe in HS and was top 10 in the province, but I don’t know if this information is storied anywhere. How do I make sure that Mcgill knows this, or is it irrelevant to them?

Apologies if these things have already been asked before.

Yes!!! Your CV doesn’t need to be related to cegep, you can put in ANYTHING you’ve done in your life. And for verifiers, you only need someone who can attest that what you say is true. A good example of a verifier could be your coach!
