RunningOnCoffee Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Hey, So I will lead with the question since I am sure people are bored of constant 'what are my chances' threads. So I may be pushing it a tad but I was wondering how people in the past have gone about getting LOR from OD/MD's in Canada? It is getting a bit close to the application cycle and I am looking for ideas outside of spamming everyone in the phonebook (I am in the GTA). Time for the stats: GPA: 3.82 (overall), 3.85 (science), 3.7 (AO) MCAT: 32 (10V, 11PS, 11BS) Graduate degree: Masters in Chemistry (in process) Pubs: 1 (first author), at least 2 more in the works. Conferences: 2 posters Patents: 1 chemistry based patent EC: Radio show host/community radio volunteer for 3 years, Event Committee member for university students union (2 years), Rehab Hospital Unit Support - all patient interaction, but no doctor interaction (1 year), Adult Math Tutor (1 year), 3 summers+1 year of undergraduate research, multiple half and full marathons. Thanks in advance for any advice, if I could I would bake you all cookies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
advair250 Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Contact the physicians and optometrists in your local area, that is all you can really do if you don't have connections. Is there a reason why your applying to both optometry and medical schools though? Or just not sure of which you would like to pursue. Also, just ask your family GP for a LOR. Not all schools require an LOR, but some do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
