berrie Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Hi, I am in an uncomfortable situation and I would appreciate any advice. I am starting my medical education at a Caribbean school called Ross University this year. Simultaneously, I am thinking of applying to Ontario schools. I think I have strong stats and ECs. I was interviewed at UofT but didn’t make it. I would like to know if this is a good idea. There is a lingering rumor that being enrolled in another medical school will hurt ones’ application. I would like to know the best way to handle this without hurting my chances if true. Any advice, especially from those in a similar position, would be appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerolimits Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 And no, as far as I am aware of, by going to ROSS university for medicine won't hurt you at all in Canadian medical schools. If you got to interview at U of T and didnt make it, try and improve your application, or do Master and try again? International Medical degree is not the best option if you plan on returning to Canada (just my two cents). If you intend on returning, READ THE international medical school FAQ.

future_doc Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 It absolutely will not reduce your chances and you can comfortably disclose transcript etc. This way you will have a foot in both camps. Whereas it is impossible to apply if you attend another Canadian med school, going abroad, students can and do apply. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLDM Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Hey I'm doing the same thing but going to St. George's in Grenada. I'm applying to a few Canadian and American schools. Does anyone know if American schools mind either? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
future_doc Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 I doubt it, why not just ask directly to one or two American schools and get the info directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
