NLengr Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Can you not die during the CaRMS application process? Can you refrain from punching your interviewers in the face? Yes? Then you should be fine. Seriously, psych is one of the least competitive programs. Don't worry about step scores or anything. They don't carry much weight in Canada. The only thing you should probably do is some on-site electives. So set up a 2 week elective at both Toronto and McGill. You could always add a couple other Canadian Schools as extra electives, or even stop by for a few days for site visits. That would get your face known, and give you some Canadian reference letters. As a US grad, you are counted as a CMG (Canadian Medical Grad) so you can enter the first round. If you go on the CaRMS website (carms.ca) you can get info on all the psych programs as well as match reports from the past 6 or 7 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bestcoast Posted July 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 sweet. Thanks for the advice. I will let my school's registrar know and I will try to setup some rotations at U of T and if possible McGill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beekeeper Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Although psych is not competitive overall, certain programs (typically UofT, McGill and maybe UBC) usually fill all of their spots due to the quality of the programs and being in desirable locations. If you set up some electives at each of the schools you are interested in you will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lactic Folly Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 This just brightened my day Plus, dying during the CaRMS process technically won't prevent you from matching if you have already submitted your rank list! Although it might prevent you from fulfilling the contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
