Applying outside of Ontario

[premed11]

Hey guys, where else would you suggest I apply besides Ontario. I will be applying to Alberta and Calgary and maybe McGill. Are there any other schools that have a decent number of spots for OOP applicants?

 

Thanks

I am applying to Dal, and U of C as well. I applied to UBC too, but the cut-off for their was Sept 1. If you look at the schools websites etc..you will get some idea of what the cut-offs are for OOP...and if you are a fit, why not apply...

My advice would be that as long as you would consider attending the school if accepted and have enough money to pay for the application/potential interview costs then you may as well apply. You shouldn't just base it on odds and statistics because you never know what could happen (unless you know in advance that you don't meet a posted cutoff for a particular school). Just an example, I'm an Ontario resident and I only received one interview in Ontario and no acceptances and 4 interviews at OOP schools and 2 acceptances. I was accepted by and am currently attending MUN which only has 4 spots for non- NF/NB/PEI residents. You never know what can happen if you don't apply.
