Engineering Students

[FinalShowtime]

Hi Guys!

 

I was wondering if anybody here did a degree in Engineering before applying to Med school. If yes, I would like to know your stories (and grades if its not too personal) as well as what major in Engineering.

 

Thanks!

you can prepare the MCAT by yourself, it is not a measure of your university institution. In fact, many courses will teach you more than you need to know for the MCAT. You can take some of these courses as electives as part of your electives. it does not matter about the university. Choose somewhere that you want to go (close to home, etc) rather than worrying about this kind of stuff.

In QC a high gpa in engineering will most likely give you a good CRU. But you can't really know for sure what CRU that will give you.

I see that you both are from longueuil!

[psychoswim]

I hadn't even noticed John.. You really do like Longueuil don't you?

Details are sooo important, just ask your sister.

 

And I guess your location of residence attracts med and premeds for some strange reason. I would expect that 99.99% of Montrealers have never heard of or been to Longueuil.

lol you're kidding right? We're over 200,000 residents, and I'm pretty sure we constitute a big percentage of all university students at UdeM, McGill, Concordia, UQAM. Places are cheaper to live in here, and we're only 2-3 subway stations away from downtown (moved from Mtl to here last year). I don't think you could meet a Montrealer that doesn't know where Longueuil is really.. Same as Laval (the city).

 

EDIT - and I think we're OT enough now

[MD2015]

I learn something new every day (should be in six word story).

 

Thanks for the education.
