Zabooomafooo Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Let's say a premed is accepted to multiple schools. What would be the best schools to go to if the premed wanted to get into ROAD/PRS/ENT or any other competitive specialty? I kind of have a bit of an idea, but could anyone finish the list? GOOD: U of T, UBC, McGill BAD: Saskatchewan, NOSM, Manitoba, Western? P.S., proud future-PRS gunner here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
future_doc Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 ALL med schools are excellent. I believe it is about you and not the med school where you study. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What matters is how productive you are in medical school, and how competitive you can make yourself for one of these programs. Even if you're an excellent PRS candidate, there's still a good chance of going unmatched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will leave it to you to place them in the appropriate category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zabooomafooo Posted March 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 I had a feling tht Mac was gonna be a bad one. A rep for lax academic requirements coupled with a 3 year program that gives you less time to get your **** togethre sounds like a receipe for failure. To the guys dsaying that 'all schools = equal,' you are wrong, please don't spread that false info. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

future_doc Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 If the below is any indication, OP may be a troll : -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote: Originally Posted by Zabooomafooo Hey guys, I am really worried about getting into meds. Here's my situation. I have a 4.0 GPA in my first 2 years. This year is prob gonna be the same. Problem is that my MCAT isn't great. 12/9/O/12 My ECs also suck ass. I volunteered at the hospital and worked in a clinic but thats it. Also part of an athletic club. So lets look at the schools I can apply to. No english credit = UBC, Alberta, MUN are out Low VR = Western, Queens out Low MCAT = Manitoba out Low ECs = Ottawa out for sure, U of T, Dal, Calgary probably out That leaves Mac (hardest school to get into) and Saskatchewan. WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE!!!!!! HELP!!! -Today Quote: Originally Posted by Zabooomafooo Thanks. I haven't actually written my MCAT yet. My practice tests are in the 35-40 range. What would be the minimum "converted" MCAT score (out of 14.8) that could I get away with to be interviewed? I noticed that the MINIMUM was 11.5 on their statistic document. But these people probably had some rural/research. The average was 12.3. Could I get away with a 12.0? My GPA would be 4.5 out of 4.5. -March 23rd, 2012. ................... ...what? __________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rext Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Lets agree that each school has their individual merits and deficiencies. Ultimately it is up to the individual to choose a school best suited for them and to prepare for the specialty that they want. Also lets stop feeding the trolls on this forum. Let them troll away in their own world guarding bridges and keeping fair maidens confined in ivory towers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOOD: U of T, UBC, McGill BAD: Saskatchewan, NOSM, Manitoba, Western? P.S., proud future-PRS gunner here. This is what you need to do to be a successful gunner: 1. Either get an interview or find some other excuse to attend interview weekends at every single med school in Canada. 2. Talk to everyone at the interview and take note of the ones that are gunning for the same specialty as you. 3. Kill all of the people in the aforementioned group. 4. Great success!

thebouque Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 My friend too thinks that he should go with a prs. He hates nickel back though, and Santana soso. I told him to get a fender but he wouldn't listen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhoenixFlare500 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 don't judge a guitar by the bands that represent them, I would take a PRS over fender any day They're both good brands, which one you should get just depends on what tone you want. Also PRSs are insanely expensive while Fenders are just mildly so, especially if you can find a cheap deal like the one I'm considering taking. Also I guess the feeling and weight is important to some people but I'd assume you'd get used to that eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
