duoduoa Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 About myself: GPA: 3.92 (just got verified on AMCAS) MCAT: 36(B13/V10/P13) EC: I'd rather not comment on it since it's too subjective. School list: Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth George Washington University Sch of Med & Hlth Sci Georgetown University School of Medical College of Wisconsin New York Medical College Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicin Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Scien (on probation????) Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University Stanford University School of Medicine (don't judge...) Tufts University School of Medicine University of Connecticut School of Medicine University of Hawaii John A. Burns Sch. of Med. University of Virginia School of Medicine Wake Forest School of Medicine of Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center (no longer accepting Canadians) I basically first compiled a list from the sticky thread on Canadian-friendly schools (http://www.premed101.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19065), and then I used a MCAT/GPA ranking list (http://medical-schools.findthebest.com/) to spread out my choice evenly among the top 100 schools. But after reading a few threads here, my concerns are: 1. I'm sure my list is far from "good"/"safe". So please give me some suggestions on adding "safer"/"easier"/"Canadian-friendly" schools. Much much appreciated. Money is not an issue here since I do have some savings. 2. How easier is it really to apply for US schools compared to applying in Ontario? I mean they only take a few international students per year...anyways I'm so depressed right now.... Thank you very much in advance for all the advices and suggestions.

duoduoa Posted July 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 btw I am applying for DO schools. Also I'm applying for Canadian schools from coast to coast except the four prairie ones (low verbal for alberta and Calgary, low mcat for Manitoba oop, and saskachewan is on probation so no...)

advair250 Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 You can get into a USMD school, very competitive application. No need to apply DO unless there is a red flag on your application. Good shot at Canadian MD schools too. Wayne state and Oakland should be on your list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
