3rd year-a disadvantage?

[Guest uwoheather]

hi everyone,

i am a new user who has a quick question for the ottawa med school. i had my interview on march 4th, and i was wondering how age comes into play at ottawa and whether you are in third year is a disadvantage to getting an acceptance. i always hear around that it is better to have a four year degree-is this true, and should i count myself out because of my age?

thanks a lot

Hi,

Myself, as well as at least a dozen or more of my classmates came in with a 3 years of undergrad....some of whom didn't even graduate after 3 years. Age doesn't play any official factor after the interview. It just so happens that we have a 20 year old in our class and 2 37 year olds. There's no official cap at either end of the spectrum so once you have your interview, nothing else really matters.

 

Good luck
