brickwall Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Hi all, I posted a similar thread to this in the non-trad forum but didn't get many replies so I'll try my luck here. Background: I have a Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering from a Canadian university. I graduated with a cGPA of 3.3. I am also half-way through Master's with a 3.9 GPA in my grad courses. I have no EC's or volunteering experience. Questions: 1. Should I do a second undergrad degree to increase my GPA and improve my EC's/volunteering and at the same time get some medical research done OR should I just try to ace my pre-req's and try to do a little EC/Volunteering on the side? 2. I took physics in my prev. undergrad and didn't do well. What implications would retaking this course (to improve my mark) have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylamonkey Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Hi brickwall, You have a lot of work to do! It sounds like you might be a good candidate for a second degree. Have you checked out Simpy's excellent thread about second degrees? It will help you a lot. You need to build a second degree program very carefully in order to be eligible for certain schools. If you have ideas as to which programs you are considering, and where you are a resident, that would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi kaylamonkey, I'm thinking of taking Bio as a second degree and I am open to any MD med schools in Canada or the states (preferably in Ontario or Michigan).
