apache Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 English 101 Professor: Why doesn't everyone tell us their name and their major. I'm _______ and I'm in pre-med, I'm going to be a cardio-thorasic surgeon. I (naively and not maliciously or anything... I was an arts student and just curious) asked him if the science faculty had a pre-med major, because I hadn't heard of it. I think I accidentally embarrassed the crap out of him.

Now UBC won't see it! LOL some guy from my chem actually told me that if you get a bad mark in first year and you go to your academic advisor to ask them to take ti off that they will and that 'they do stuff like that all the time'. Where do people even get that/hear that from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charmer08 Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Depending on how well they know the dean, it helps a lot more that you would think. +1 atleast he has someone to guide him throughout undergrad Premed who doesn't take a full course load: "Medschools require full course loads." then why don't they take it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carolynH Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Me: What is your daughter studying? Neighbour: (Proudly) Medicine! Turns out her daughter just started first year UG in MacMaster Life Science! Relative: My friend told me his daughter (just graduated high school with an 85% average) got accepted into McGill's Medical School! Me: Don't go to UofT especially St. George Campus for UG if you really want to have a chance for med. It's really hard to get high 80's. High school pre-med (with average in the 70's and was already complaining things being too hard): That's no problem. I will go to UofT SG. If med requires 80%, I WILL get that 80%.

Let'sGo1990 Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 It always kills me when people think that their chances of practicing medicine in Canada after attending medical school abroad (States, Asia, Carribean, Europe, etc.) are good. I've tried telling a few of these people that the odds are stacked incredibly against them, but it's like they don't want to believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
