MDhopetobe Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Hello Everyone, I guess you've seen this kind of posts a lot here, but I'm wondering if any of you has succeeded in getting to med school in Quebec ( especially McGill med) after doing a second bachelor degree because he/she had a low GPA in the first degree. I'm looking mainly for success stories and some details on how to do that. Thanks, guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koopatroopa Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Hey - I'm not from Quebec, but I am currently completing my BSc (anticipated grad: April 2018) after originally completing my BA in psychology in 2013 with a less than ideal GPA. My science GPA is 4.1/4.33 compared to 3.5/4.3 in my arts degree. I've applied to four Western Canadian schools and have two interviews so far this cycle! Even if I don't get in this cycle, the fact that I have these interviews is amazing and really reassured me that I did make the right (albeit lengthy) choice. Hopefully someone from Quebec will have more advice for you and not just a (so far so good) success story. Best of luck with whatever you decide!

Snowmen Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 It is nearly impossible in the French schools because they look at every marks including prior degrees. McGill only considers your last completed degree and would give you a better shot. Either way, it won't be easy considering their are few (McGill) or almost none (french schools) OOP spots.

SunAndMoon Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Depending on your GPA and programs, admission to the French schools may be possible although extremely difficult. McGill totally achievable with a 2nd UG, there's quite a few ppl every year who make it. Get your 45 credits by time of application, do well, make sure your prereqs arent expiring and apply on your final year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck everyone Go to Concordia again, do the Specialty Program in Exercise Science, be a straight A student by studying and working hard (the material is not difficult but very voluminous) and you will likely get into one of the Quebec medical schools as those who have followed this path have done. Read all the posts in the. Slow ghread: OP, same advice to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
