bearpuppy Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Overall I'd say you need more current clinical experience. Can you get Involved with anything even if you have to add it in an update letter? You should probably add more schools too. U could try Case and Dartmouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrenchPressedMD Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 yes, you would count as a master's student. I would add albert einstein and george washington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearpuppy Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 I wouldnt say that shadowing is really clinical experience. They want to see you working with the sick/ill/needy. Shadowing is more about knowing what the job entails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathvvv Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 You need health services experience to show you have significant patient care experience/ dedication to the under serviced and enjoy working in a healthcare setting. I would get on volunteering ASAP. Aim for at least 100 hours by the time the schools offer you interview (With your stats you should get some). I would apply to Canadian school as well. You have a good chance at Dal (even for OOP), UBC, Queens, Mac and Toronto (if your grades go up to 3.85+ after weighting formula). For US schools, I would consider: Georgetown SLU Penn state Kentucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda_can_med Posted June 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 SLU requires escrow. Most people can't afford that especially given the current exchange rate. I have access to a US private loan (have a relative with a green card that can be the co-signer). So I should be fine right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you should be OK but they will still ask for escrow, since you are not a GC holder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
