HBP Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Ivy League eh? Legendary. Probably a very personal choice, especially because of $$ differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystery_chick Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 I can't decide!! Help? Haha, hop on the bandwagon. I vote UofT because I'm in pretty much the same situation and I'm leaning towards UofT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rach Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 UofT. Though Dartmouth is an ivy, I wouldn't consider that too much. The med school isn't as well regarded as the undergrad. It's definitely a personal choice, but I'd save some money and go to Toronto... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randommm Posted May 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Thanks for the input guys! From a financial point of view, it's an easy choice. But if I was to leave that out of the equation, I was leaning a bit to Dartmouth. It has a smaller class, their match list is pretty impressive, and if i decide to work in the states in the future, it'd be easier if i went to an american school. But this is just how I feel right this second, i've been going back and forth for days now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFonz Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Do you have any idea what sort of financial aid you'll be receiving from Dartmouth? I was also accepted here and they told me that Canadian students can receive a fair amount of financial aid. I also spoke with a Canadian student at DMS who said that what she pays for tuition is not significantly much more than what she would pay at a Canadian med school (after financial aid). Also, yes, their match list is fantastic. If you're interested in coming back to Canada, one of their students just matched into ortho at U of T, which is pretty competitive. So it is possible, just throwing it out there. They are affiliated with awesome hospitals across the country, and the Canadian student I spoke to had just come back from an awesome ENT/plastics elective at UCSF. Honestly, I really loved the school, and it was the last US one that I withdrew from (didn't know if I would be getting financial aid or not, plus I wanted to stay in Canada for personal reasons). If you get no financial aid, I would strongly consider U of T. Cost at US schools is just too exorbitant for me, and as I said, I wanted to stay in Canada. Now if you eventually want to practice in the US, that may change things, but I am no expert on going to the US after getting your MD in Canada.
