deathvvv Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 you probably need 34+ to get a look at us allopathic schools. Your GPA with a good MCAT 30+ may make you competitive for DO schools. You can always try to do post bacc's but I don't recommend it because its not a sure shot and its mad expensive (pretty much 1 year med school tuition). Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

relaxer12 Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 I would add NYMC in there. They interview a lot of people and they are quite Canadian friendly. You can also add St. Louis. They are less Canadian friendly (and frankly I don't like the city...) but they do accept a few Canadians. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerobar Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Hi guys, long time lurker/first time poster here My GPA is on the low side at 3.59, with an upward trend in the last 2 years. I'm hoping my MCAT (36Q, VR 10, PS 13, BS 13) could give me a much needed boost if I apply in the states. My EC's include 2+ years of hospital and mental community home volunteering, school club exec, and recent NSERC. I failed to make the cut off for interviews for UBC med last year mostly due to my GPA. I plan on applying to Canadian schools as well as a range of US schools this year. Do you guys have any recommendations for schools that are worth a shot/ not worth pursuing? So far I've come up with the following: NYU Boston Georgetown George Washington Jefferson U of Kentucky Albert Einstein Saint Louis U Rosalind Franklin Michigan State U Wayne State Any advice would be much appreciated!!

fx98opp Posted May 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 please could someone suggest more schools that haven't been suggested thus far. I'm finalizing my list so fingers crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amsm Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Hi everybody! I figured I would post this resource that really helped me in my application process. I am a canadian student who applied to many american schools and canadian schools. The american primary and secondary essays I think were really what helped distinguish me, and get me accepted into the american school I wanted to go to. I got help from this website; http://applicationessaysolutions.com/. I really think if it was not for the advice I received fromt this website I would have not gotten into any american schools (or canadian). Ultimately I got into the canadian school in my home province and opted to stay in Canada (mostly for financial reasons). Anyways, in my opinion, there are thousands of students with similar GPA's and MCAT scores, and the way to get yourself noticed is through your essay. I suggest you take a look at the site. good luck with your applications! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathvvv Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 SUNY upstate VCU Oakland U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neuro_07 Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Oakland U has a class size of only 50 students and didn't even interview any Canadian in the last cycle. So, I feel it is better to not waste money in applying there. Even VCU isn't friendly to internationals. I think best chance for Canadians is at: Jefferson Chicago Med-Franklin Wayne State MSU Kentucky and if you have a good GPA (>=3.8) and MCAT (>=33), then: St. Louis Boston Einstein CWU Aim for Harvard and other top ones if you have all 4.0s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omz222 Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Actually, Oakland did interview internationals. I think VCU stopped taking Canadians, BTW. Agreed on SUNY Upstate, they are still fairly Canadian friendly and I know of several Canadian interviews during the 11-12 cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neuro_07 Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 The website of University of Kentucky College of Medicine says: "International students are welcome to apply to the University of Kentucky College of Medicine. At least one full year of undergraduate or graduate study in a regionally accredited U.S. school is required for application to medical school." Does that mean Canadians without one year of coursework in US are not eligible to apply? Can someone confirm this please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
