siobhansiobhan Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Yeah, i'm trying to avoid that path. Logically, it would be the easiest path, but also the longest path. I'm searching for a counsel who could help me finding the most logic and fastest track. Really can't go back to Cegep, I will feel so old There must a one year, late application premed program somewhere, at least closer from Grenada! if you have the money, there's some really good one-year programmes for people with no pre-reqs at places like bryn mawr and others. google "bryn-mawr, aamc" and you should get to the page that will tell you about the one-years. however, they too have an application cycle which you missed for this coming fall.... but they are good to know about. these are different from the one-year masters which are for people who already have the pre-reqs. reserach these through aamc, you'll figure it out. also, through studentdoctor.net, go to the post-bac page and read about the differences. some of those one-years have linkages to really good schools in the states, some don't..... but think it through! take a course now through cegep or whatever, cause if sciences have a learning curve for you (they did for me) you don't wanna have that reflect in the gpa.... all the best with your research Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsquared28 Posted May 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Satsuma: is it a friend of yours? I'm really curious about his academic background. siobhansiobhan: very helpful, thanks a lot... Future_doc: Dr. Carmen Mueller would be a good way to find info, but i'll probably try on my own and keep her in mind if i'm less confused after my research Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

law2med Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 dsquared28, I am in the same situation as you. I'm a 28 year-old lawyer from Quebec, Bar 2007 (cauz I had a kid). I'm going throught the admissions process right now. I got invited to interviews at all three places where I applied; I had a 3.9/4.33 gpa in unioversity. I went back to Cégep in the fall to do my prerequisite science courses, and I am doing two of them this summer (if I get accepted obviously), all this while working full time as a lawyer - its doable!!!! There is a program at Université de Montréal where you can do all of the prerequisites in one year only, but you'll have to be full time. Go for it!

Go for it! dsquared28 and law2med, I am also in the same situation as the two of you. I'm a 29 year-old lawyer in New Brunswick (called to the bar in 2006) and I'm also going through the admissions process right now. I only applied to one university because I was missing the English course most others require; however, I didn't have much of a problem with any pre-reqs because I did an undergrad in science before going to law school. law2med - which schools did you apply to? Best of luck to both of you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
