C-Swirsk Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Hello all, I have seen a link in one of the forums before to a PDF document that give the admissions stats for each med school in Canada. I am not sure who publishes the report but the document provides the # of applicants applied, invited for interviews, and offered admissions at each school, as well as some additional stats. I believe I have seen a 2007 version of this doc somewhere before... If anyone knows the link to this document or which forum I can find it in that would be great. Cheers C-Swirsk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NLengr Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 25 % success rate? That's right. It fluctuates a bit from province to province and year to year too, but they all are around there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest viscous Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 the success rate of applicants who are below the age of 20 is 44.4%?! Are you damn kidding me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estairella Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 the success rate of applicants who are below the age of 20 is 44.4%?! Are you damn kidding me. I know one (Canadian) applicant who applied when she was 19. She got acceptances at half the places she applied to, including Harvard and McGill, and eventually went to Washington University in St. Louis because they gave her a full ride (something like $200,000 USD). The fact is, most (all?) schools require you to have completed at least three years by the time you start medical school - so if you're under 20, then you automatically must have skipped grades. If you're capable of that, you're more likely to be capable at other things which medical schools look for too... Here's her profile when she applied: http://mdapplicants.com/viewprofile.php?myid=6682 ...I challenge you to find a stronger applicant! /I'm not under 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocky222 Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Chances are that if you are eligible to be applying (have completed two years of university) when you are still under the age of 20, you are probably a superstar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-Stark Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 I don't know about anyone else here, but having a life and enjoying university for what it is were far more important to me than advancing to my next degree as quickly as possible. I am, of course, rather impressed with the story of this student, but why be so envious? There's more to life than rushing through every experience - I *liked* being able to take my time and experience a variety of courses (and other activities!). Of course, I did finish two concurrent undergrads in five years by overloading all but three terms... but it was for the breadth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And she is so young!!!!! Life is unfair.. lol I can't answer for Xylem29 but we attended the same highschool (but she was two years ahead, so I didn't know her then) and university. I met her in person when I went down to St. Louis, she's a pretty cool person and very sophisticated (she is seriously more mature than most of my friends who are two or three years older than her). And I think her mother is a pharmacologist or pharmaceutical technician or something, if I recall correctly. There's more to life than rushing through every experience - I *liked* being able to take my time and experience a variety of courses (and other activities!). Of course, I did finish two concurrent undergrads in five years by overloading all but three terms... but it was for the breadth. Actually, you'll see she did the exact same thing as you, a dual degree in five years... so she had the "full university experience" (minus drinking), she just started at 15. But I completely understand where you're coming from and I agree to some extent, I think most people do benefit from making the mistakes of youth. I guess the flip side is, becoming a doctor is a longer journey than many other professions, and there is the issue of when/if you want to start a family or settle down which becomes a more pressing matter the older you get. AND.. I should really get to sleep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In_Valid Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 yeah all about how U of T rejected her and Harvard didn't It seems like students are evaluated by different criteria in Canada and in the States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelly31 Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 These criteria seem to remain a mystery, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 I wonder if age does play a factor in the admission even though every school emphasizes age will not be held against the applicant . Age 26 and above has lowest acceptance %. What are you guys' take on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLengr Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Age 26 and above probably has quite a few applicants who are multi-year (3+). If they have been previously rejected I'm willing the odds of being rejected again are higher than first time applicants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackkeys Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 I wonder if age does play a factor in the admission even though every school emphasizes age will not be held against the applicant . Age 26 and above has lowest acceptance %. What are you guys' take on that? Maybe it's because a lot of older applicants have really bad first undergrads that hold them back? I can't really come up with any other explanation right now. hmm... Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii*t... I hope it's not age discrimination. Then I'm really screwed.
