If You Could Go To Any Medical School In Canada, Which Would it be?

[DoctorS]

Hey guys, out of curiosity, if you were guaranteed acceptance to any medical school in Canada, which would you choose to go to and why?

 

Also, I know that every medical school in Canada is amazing and none are better than others, but I was just wondering

 

For me, It would be McMaster because that is where I am planning to go for undergrad just because I love the campus and university and also because their research always catches my interest.

 

So, which school would it be for you?

[Birdy]

It's a tough choice for me.

 

(edited out longwindedness)

MUN, Dal, Queen's, or Ottawa. For various reasons, I can't just pick one.

 

The programs are all relatively comparable. So, uh... Undecided? I think all the schools have their perks, so my biggest consideration is geography, lol. I'd be honoured to get into any program in any of the eight schools I intend to apply to.

[frozenarbitor]

Calgary because of it's close to home and the city is awesome.

[DFlint]

Probably University of Toronto or McMaster, I really enjoy research and I think they are both awesome schools. (Though I'd be happy with any Medical School TBH)

[xkittens]

UofT

most of the med students there that I've met I found quite repulsive, but I love the city

McGill

I freakin love montreal

[Tacrolimus]

U of A.

 

15 minute drive from my house and I'm doing my undergrad in Faculty of Science right now so very familiar with the campus. What's not to like?

[Dr.Henderson]

I got into my dream school, ironically it was also my only interview. People are amazing (students/faculty/community in general), great tradition (pretty cool to see the first med building dated 1854), and BRAND new facilities- new med building just opened up last year.

 

I'm also a huge fan of a close-knit class dynamic, and Queen's is only 100 students per class year .

[jerkstore]

McMaster, just because it's 3 years.

[obi]

UoT. Love Toronto. But i bleed purple so im happy either way.

I don't follow, Western?

 

Is that some sort of rapster reference?

Eminate ultra competitive keenerness, cold, condescending with a touch of god complex, incapable of conversing about anything other than the MCAT and dear god so sanctimonious

I met a coupla cool ones though but everyone seems to agree uoft med students are more likely to be of the first description

 

And now I have offended 1000 people

If "ethnics" was a typo for "jerkstore" then you'd be correct

They're still talking about the MCAT? Talk about a serious case of PTSD

 

After my test I never want to think about it ever again

Really wish there was a 'like' button.

[apache]

calgary, lol, and i was accepted there too, o well. i disagree… some are better, it's about fit more than a normative sense of good or bad, some people flourish in very different environments.

 

standord in north america.

[Robin Hood]

UdeM or McGill.

First, both are in Montreal.

Second, both are prestigious.

But the dilemna is: McGill is more prestigious, but UdeM is in French.

And I currently have no idea about which learning style I prefer.

[Kasiunut]

Mac, hands down. I really like the PBL style of learning, but mostly because I had friends who went to Mac and u of t and I find I'm more "like" the Mac people culture wise.

 

But honestly any school would do.

[m1428]

Never thought I'd say this, but I would love to go back to Queen's... I miss Kingston

plus the fact that I watched the new building getting built starting from the foundations but never even been inside...
