justkidding Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 I was browsing through a couple of Canadian school's admission requirements and was surprised to know that some schools like U of T allow 3rd year students to apply. Is it really hard to gain admission after ur 3rd year into such schools? Approximately how many people matriculate through this way? Also do all canadian medical school have this option?.

Smurfette Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 Some schools allow 3rd years to apply. UofT, Queen's, Alberta, Calgary, UBC are some that come to mind. Some schools do not allow 3rd years (eg. Western). 3rd year students entering medical school tend to be fairly rare - a quick look at the admissions statistics of the schools you're interested in will generally give you this information. Whether this is due to a bias in the admissions or whether this is simply due to fewer experiences, lack of maturity, etc in 3rd years compared to older students is unclear.

Jochi1543 Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 Yes, and for schools who break down their applicants by # of undergrad years, you can see that the academic standards for 3rd year applicants are MUCH higher than for 4th year. We're talking like 3.65 vs 3.95 averages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
