sk8kristi Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Hi, I'm a little confused as to how many years undergrad I need before applying to medicine. I'm OOP and was wondering if I can apply between my first and second years or only after my second year? I thought I knew the answer and then the website kinda confused me... Thanks!

Jamer Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 I'll be perfectly honest and say that unless you're a combo of Mother Theresa and Steven Hawking, you're not getting in after 2 years OOP. Im taking 4.0, 99th percentile MCAT, and impressive EC's not to mention a great interview. It's rare that 2nd years get admitted IP let alone OOP where you're fighting an uphill battle. To be more specific: You can apply after finishing 1 full year (10 course) of undergrad as long as you're taking 10 in 2nd year too. This would qualify you as applying as a 2nd year student, even though you'll only have 1 year of marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk8kristi Posted August 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Thanks. I do realize the chances of getting in at that stage and as OOP are about none but I just wanted to know if the actual possibility is there to apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vip_138 Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Complacent Tragedy got into UofA 2nd year OOP. Maybe you could pm them for any tips/what kind of stats are needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n00b Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 So the UofA site says only there were only 111 4-year applicants out of 1274 total applications. Isn't almost everyone applying going into their 4th year? Why are there only 111 4-year applications? Or maybe I mixed up the terminology. Can someone explain?

Jamer Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 They mean applicants who were admitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not the probability of mother theresa + stephen hawking combo you have suggested. I think it's closer to you have to be the top student out of 300-400 students. If you think you have a shot, this route is definitely possible, but you will have to work for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
