Talked to a very young Dr from Quebec I was working with during the pandemic and she said that you can go to med school in quebec right after high school, u take some type of 2 year pre course and boom.
@@akadopeboi Yaa but honestly Cegep is a pain because it works with the R score not the Gpa. Bascially your score depends on how well you can do compared to the class , not your individual self . So if the class average is 80% and you have 90% , youll end up with a very average R score ...its very complicated to explain and the 2 year program is honestly difficult because you have to take at the very least 3 calculus classes, as well as 3 physics classes + 4 chemistry classes and 2-3 biology with no major in a certain topic that you actually enjoy! Which makes it harder in my opinion than going straight from high school to a bachelors Degree where you can choose your discipline and actually excel in
@@akadopeboi They are not necessarily prep classes, oh sorry, you mean directly to med school not bachelor or uni, still same applies, you can view them as the 2 years of bachelor or freshmen. Still Quebec High School end in grade 11, and doesn't have to pass math. You can save another year with University Ottawa taking students after Grade 10. So 2 year bachelor or freshmen and then med school
You can save 2 years, Still Quebec High School end in grade 11, and doesn't have to pass math. You can save another year with University Ottawa taking students after Grade 10. So 2 year bachelor or freshmen and then med school in Quebec when others just finished their grade 12.
Honestly,GOD BLESS U ❤...your such a confident, hardworking and dedicated person. Not to mention how helpful you are, I pray that you succeed in life and achieve your ultimate goal. PS: Im a Canadian living in Kenya🇰🇪, planning to do my undergraduate in Biomedical Science at York😊... big fan👐
I was literally searching for someone who can provide a detailed information on all of the medical schools of Canada because being an international student(4th year Pre-Med) it is really hard for us to collect all the information that should be known before applying to a particular medical school. Thank you so much it really helps! You’re doing a great job😊!
Hey! Thanks for the information. Just an update, McGill requires the following pre-reqs: Basic Science Courses Candidates are required to have completed 7 introductory basic science courses (minimum of 21 semester-hours/ credits) with labs: 2 introductory Biology courses with labs (at least 6 cr.); 2 introductory Chemistry courses with labs (at least 6 cr.); 1 introductory Organic Chemistry course with lab (at least 3 cr.); 2 introductory Physics courses with labs (at least 6 cr.).
Thanks so much for the info Komal! Could have swore that I had seen everything, but unfortunately I missed that section. I added this info in a pinned comment so that everyone knows :)
Hello can i go to med school with bachelor's degree of 2yrs diploma+2yrs uni pathway? I'm gonna attend associate degree in biology at douglas college this September. According to my budget, i cant go to Uni directly
Thanks for the great video! This information is super helpful for students (such as myself) who are applying this cycle! It's really starting to sink in how important CARS is for Canadian MD schools
No problem bro! Best of luck applying this cycle 🤙 🔥 Some of my American friends have told me that they refer to CARS as the "Canadian" section of the MCAT 😅. I can definitely see why too.
Quebec schools use “la cote R” which is given to u at the end of each semester of cegep. Most pre med programs require a minimum of 30 to apply but most people that get in have minimum 33
Hey :) This isn't true for U of T - I think you're thinking of Western. U of T will look at all of your years but will drop some courses if you meet the criteria for their weighting formula. md.utoronto.ca/gpa-and-gpa-weighting
This was such a detailed video, and exactly what I was looking for!! Thank you! I'm currently doing nursing and planning to apply to med school in Ontario, but I don't have long term extracurriculars. Do you think it would look bad to start adding to my experiences post grad?
Glad it helped :) it definitely wouldn’t look bad! You can do the ECs whenever (there’s lots of students who come back to medicine after deciding that another career wasn’t what they wanted). Good luck with your applications 🔥
Hi Kiana :) The majority of the medical schools do not have required degrees or courses. But, if you look at the "prerequisite courses" sections of the sheets, I've included which courses the schools will require that you take before being accepted. The one exception is McGill - I got this wrong on the original sheets. I've pinned a comment listing what they require for courses. Usually, all applicants will need to have gone to university to pursue a bachelor's degree. Beyond that, be sure to check directly with the school websites - degree requirements can get tricky and change from cycle to cycle.
for UdeM, you need at least a 33 r score to get in to the first round of applications. Then, they’ll consider 50% your CASPer and 50% your r score. Same for USherbrooke but the cut-off is 32. After you get invited to the interviews or MEM, it’s only going to be based on your performance during the interviews. They do not take non-academic requirements into consideration
You can save 2 years, Still Quebec High School end in grade 11, and doesn't have to pass math. You can save another year with University Ottawa taking students after Grade 10. So 2 year bachelor or freshmen and then med school in Quebec when others just finished their grade 12
😅 It definitely could have been. Between all of the schools, there was so much to talk about but I thought I'd condense it as much as possible. If you have any questions though, feel free to ask!

I have a question. Is 516 (128/131/126/131) a good score to apply for Canadian medical schools? You mentioned in one of your videos that marks should be equally distributed. Anyway, I follow your videos for my daughter 😄 and this is her first time MCAT score. Should she keep this mark or try for a better score? She is a 3rd year undergrad student. BTW, your videos are so helpful! Keep up the good work and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Hi Faria, thanks for letting me know :) Your daughter did very well - that's a great score. Have her apply to U of T and McMaster for sure. Calgary as well, and Queens (although it'll depend what the cutoffs are for that year). Regarding the other schools, it'll depend on her GPA. All the best
Hi! I’m assuming the averages are on a 4.0 scale, but I figured I’d ask just to be sure: are the averages on a 4.0 scale or a 4.33 scale (like UBC does I think?) Thank you so much for making this video by the way! It’s very helpful 😊
Hey, glad it helped :D Most GPAs are reported on the 4.0 scale for medicine, but I've noted the exceptions. Manitoba uses a 4.5 GPA system for example. In the premed scene, Ryerson University uses the 4.33 system and those grades get converted to the 4.0 system. Hope that clears it up!
Nice catch! CASPer is a requirement for Queens beginning this year, but they don't list it under their "method of selection" criteria 🤔. I'll pin this comment for now and then make a correction after my exam tomorrow. Thank you :)
Hi there. Very informative video, thank you. I have a question please.. My son is a high school senior here in Toronto. He's hoping to get into medical school in the future. Would you advice on what undergrad schools whether it be health sciences, biomedical engineering, or...he should apply to?
Hi Hiba :) The school is not very important, what is important are the grades that he gets and then his MCAT score. Please refer him to this video that I had made regarding what I think are the best choices for undergrad programs for premed: ua-cam.com/video/m8VJVop8VLc/v-deo.html
Do you think getting into a small university like trent will help me get better chance to get into medical school? I also get kinesiology offer from U of T. Love the video!
Thank you so much for this video! I have a question. If someone is from Computer Science background with a moderate CGPA (3.45/4.00), will you suggest her to go for a second undergrad? Or, taking the prerequisite courses as a non-degree student will be good (if it adds to the cumulative GPA)?
@@nxtgenmd thank you Sorry if I didn’t word that properly Are there specific master degree courses that can help in getting into med school? And also, if you’re planning on going into med school with a masters degree does the selection requirement process change a bit (in terms of them considering undergrad courses)
@@chimsomokonkwo8479 no worries! I've listed which schools offer bonuses for master's degrees in the school sheets. In all cases though, a masters will not change the way that your individual undergrad grades are accounted for. See Dalhousie's various policies for GPA calculation on their website though - you can use your entire masters as 1 undergrad year in one of their calculations. 🤙 In terms of specific masters degrees, none that I know of. Everyone that I've spoken with has said that they'd recommend choosing something that you actually enjoy if you want to do it :)
Thank u for this vid. Its really helpful❤️❤️🔥🔥. Can u tell me that if I do my MBBS(undergrad) from India and then come to Canada so what course would I have to do after coming to Canada (like do I have to do my MD from Canada or do I apply for license and residency after the MCCQE examinations)
I'm glad it helped :) I'm not well-versed in the transfer process for internationally trained medical professionals, but I think that if you've completed the MBBS degree then you would need to apply to the CaRMS match as an IMG and do your residency after completing the MCCQE exams. However, I would definitely suggest looking into it a bit more and possible reaching out to the CMA directly for guidance. Best of luck!
Hello, thank you so much for making this video, it was very helpful. Do you know if all the Ontario medical schools accept applicants who are in a collaborative program? I am doing a collaborative BScN program which means I will be studying at a college for two years and at a university for the last two years, so I was wondering if I would be eligible to apply and if the courses that I am taking at the college will be used towards my application. It would mean alot if you can help me with these questions. Thank you.
International students if they want to study 3year in canada first before enter MD program what Kind of program they should complete first in canada by there own cost and what medical school you recommend?
Please I wanted to ask.. if I already have a bsc degree but incomplete prerequisites.. can I take the prerequisites courses separately or do I have to do another bsc program?
I an IMG with Canadian citizenship living in Australia looking to either enter into Canadian medical school (UBC) or a residency program later, do you have any tips as I know this is extremely competitive. Thankyou
Hey Kiran, like for Canadian educated students you need to try your best to keep your GPA as high as possible and get a very high MCAT score - especially the CARS section for Canadian Schools 🤙 look into the CANMEDS roles as well and try to build extracurriculars around those specific roles. Best of luck!
Very helpful! I have one question. Can i study in medical schools with bachelor degree out of canada and master degree of canada? Because i heard in US , you NEED to have american bachelors.( this question is about a PR person)
Not sure about the states, but if your education was done outside of Canada, you just need to work out how the grades will be counted/accredited. Each school has their own policy regarding this and your best bet would be to check with whichever school you wanted to apply to :)
I have a question! Can I enter medical school directly from high school? Because you said you Ryerson university for years and I want to know more about that. Please help me with this! And thank you for your videos!
With all of the non-quebec schools, the answer is no... mostly anyways. Queens has the QuARMS program which will accept high school students. They then do a few years in university and then go to medical school right after that provided they meet a few requirements. Some of the french schools will also accept applicants right after CEGEP - so after high school but before university technically. I'm not really too sure with how that works because I'm not familiar with that system. Usually a bachelor's or pursuit of a bachelor's is required here in Canada :)
Hey, Just found your channel. I’m currently studying biomedical science in the U.K as a premed course but I want to come to Canada to study Medicine. Do you have any advice for me???
Hey Abigail, in your situation you could either focus on applying to schools who take international applicants, or you can apply for permanent residency - although I've heard that it can be quite difficult. Alternatively, you can just do medical school in the UK and then transfer over to Canada for residency, but that process is also very difficult. Unfortunately, the process is much more difficult for international applicants in my opinion. But every year there are applicants who are successful. Research your top choices and just submit your application if you'd like 🔥
Hi Sherita :) Speak with your guidance counsellors if you have questions - you will need to fill your elective blocks with prerequisite courses. You will learn about how to do this probably in September goodluck!
Yes you can still be accepted. Please refer to this video for how the different schools evaluate GPA 🤙 Physics is useful for the MCAT but is not a prerequisite for most Canadian medicals schools Good luck :D
I have a question I just finished my LPN with 3.8cgpa and also have a bachelors in biochemistry with 3.3/5 CGPA planning in applying to medical school in Canada, what is my chances ?
Hi, if I am a internally educated physiotherapist who is practicing as physical therapist in Canada. What is the procedure to get in medical school? How would I get my GPA, because the academic I had is international is not in GOA module. Thank you.
Hi :) In the case of Internationally educated applicants, each school will have its own policy regarding how they accredit your grades. Check directly with the school websites for more info or reach out to them directly via email if you can't find what you're looking for
Hi,great video.I am a non traditional aspirant having civil engineering degree from India,currently residing in Quebec .I had physics,Chem,bio in school and college and would like to knw if they are vaild.also is MCAT mandatory?
Hi Samhitha glad you liked the video :D Each school has their own policy regarding international course so you'll definitely want to check with them officially. Also, please see the sheets regarding which of the schools require the MCAT. The Quebec schools do not need it though.
Yes. Upon completion of your masters you can be looked at in the "graduate" applicant pool. However, your undergrad marks will make up the majority of your academic assessment from what I gather
Does anyone know if BIOL 1593 at TRU is accepted anywhere or is there a better option I should put my energy into? I suppose I can always challenege course exams as well after.
Tuition is drastically higher for international students vs. Canadian students - Mac gives numbers of almost 100K per year for international students vs. 26K for Canadians. From province to province, it varies as well. Calgary's website says tuition is around 18K per year which is substantially lower than each of the Ontario schools. Usually, at least as far as I know, there is no intra-institutional differences in tuition cost between OOP and IP 🤙
I am doing bachelors ( pre med) in Canada and i wish to do MD as a pr so I don’t hv to pay huge international fee. Is there a way that i get pr while doing my bachelors so i may go to medical school as a canadian?
Hello can i go to med school with bachelor's degree of 2yrs diploma+2yrs uni pathway? I'm gonna attend associate degree in biology at douglas college this September. According to my budget, i cant go to Uni directly
Hello. I’m a PR of canada, I did my masters of nursing from india. I want to do PA program . I did my WES evaluation too. When I’m checking with application process.. it’s feels very difficult 😞 and lengthy duration as every university admission criteria is different.Where to begin… need guidance
Hi Shiji, unfortunately I'm not very well versed in PA schooling requirements, Your best bet would be look up the various programs online and then look through there FAQ sections for clarifying details. Online forums can also sometimes be a good source of information
@@nxtgenmd Wow, congrats! I am planning on attending OSSD for international students (12th grade) in January. Which courses should I take for a biology-related major? What kind of volunteering/activities did you do to help with the acceptance?
Hi Can you please tell me if I have my undergraduate degree from another country, how long does the equivalency process takes????and does this affect my admission?( let's say I have pr until then)
Only some schools will accept international degrees from applicants, the process (and I'm assuming timelines?) will change from school to school. You should check with each school individually 🤙
Nice to meet you dude :D I'll try my best. I really don't know too much about the International Applicant System but I'll try to look into it sometime soon 🤙 Best of luck!
I attended Harvard, had a full scholarship out of HS. Made it 3 years, then the Trump years happened. I had no issues at all with the man, but Harvard went full on Liberal and the professors followed suit. No more learning about our degrees, just full on virtue signalling and protests. Long story short, I transferred to McGill (rather easy to do from a top Ivy League) and my mind is focused on studies again, and no politics.
You missed the most important requirement for admission to all medical schools - The universe must not be working against you. I'll be so pissed if I found out that the universe had already predetermined our future.
Is it correct that people say there is kinda no chance to get into medical school in canada cause it's so competitive?😪does my religion have any effect on my addmision?
Hi Mia, medical school in Canada is a very competitive process but applicants are not discriminated against based on their religious beliefs. Good luck with applying

In the premed scene, Ryerson University uses the 4.33 system and those grades get converted to the 4.0 system. Hope that clears it up!
Hi Luca,
CASPer is required as of 2020 for Queens
Nice catch! CASPer is a requirement for Queens beginning this year, but they don't list it under their "method of selection" criteria 🤔. I'll pin this comment for now and then make a correction after my exam tomorrow. Thank you :)

Best of luck!
Hi there. Very informative video, thank you. I have a question please.. My son is a high school senior here in Toronto. He's hoping to get into medical school in the future. Would you advice on what undergrad schools whether it be health sciences, biomedical engineering, or...he should apply to?
Hi Hiba :) The school is not very important, what is important are the grades that he gets and then his MCAT score. Please refer him to this video that I had made regarding what I think are the best choices for undergrad programs for premed:

Do you think getting into a small university like trent will help me get better chance to get into medical school? I also get kinesiology offer from U of T. Love the video!
This is Awesome!!!
Glad it helped :D
I am gonnna have to take IGCSE level and I want to enter the MCGILL University.
Very cool 🔥 I hear great things about McGill - good luck with it 💪
lol this is so useful tq
Thank you for this video. I want to start studying for mcat and which study material would you recommend between the 2 you linked?
University of Toronto
Thank you so much for this video! I have a question. If someone is from Computer Science background with a moderate CGPA (3.45/4.00), will you suggest her to go for a second undergrad? Or, taking the prerequisite courses as a non-degree student will be good (if it adds to the cumulative GPA)?
I don't know that I can do medical school
Thank you so much for this video.
I have a question, how does one get into medical school with a masters degree in any health science related course?
No problem Chimsom :D
I don't understand your question? You would need to apply
@@nxtgenmd thank you
Sorry if I didn’t word that properly
Are there specific master degree courses that can help in getting into med school?
And also, if you’re planning on going into med school with a masters degree does the selection requirement process change a bit (in terms of them considering undergrad courses)
@@chimsomokonkwo8479 no worries! I've listed which schools offer bonuses for master's degrees in the school sheets. In all cases though, a masters will not change the way that your individual undergrad grades are accounted for. See Dalhousie's various policies for GPA calculation on their website though - you can use your entire masters as 1 undergrad year in one of their calculations. 🤙
In terms of specific masters degrees, none that I know of. Everyone that I've spoken with has said that they'd recommend choosing something that you actually enjoy if you want to do it :)
Thank u for this vid. Its really helpful❤️❤️🔥🔥. Can u tell me that if I do my MBBS(undergrad) from India and then come to Canada so what course would I have to do after coming to Canada (like do I have to do my MD from Canada or do I apply for license and residency after the MCCQE examinations)
I'm glad it helped :) I'm not well-versed in the transfer process for internationally trained medical professionals, but I think that if you've completed the MBBS degree then you would need to apply to the CaRMS match as an IMG and do your residency after completing the MCCQE exams. However, I would definitely suggest looking into it a bit more and possible reaching out to the CMA directly for guidance. Best of luck!
@@nxtgenmd thanks man. Appreciate your efforts ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
if I am targeting McMaster, can I only do the CARS section of MCAT and skipping all other sections?
Technically yes :) But normally I advise against writing the mcat for just one section. That way you don't limit your options
Hello, thank you so much for making this video, it was very helpful. Do you know if all the Ontario medical schools accept applicants who are in a collaborative program? I am doing a collaborative BScN program which means I will be studying at a college for two years and at a university for the last two years, so I was wondering if I would be eligible to apply and if the courses that I am taking at the college will be used towards my application. It would mean alot if you can help me with these questions. Thank you.
no one dares to dislike
LOL let's see how long that holds out for 🤐
wooo your accent so fast . thats way i could not understand without subtitles🙃
International students if they want to study 3year in canada first before enter MD program what Kind of program they should complete first in canada by there own cost and what medical school you recommend?
Hi Said please see my video on which undergraduate programs I believe are best for premeds :) Best of luck!
Please I wanted to ask.. if I already have a bsc degree but incomplete prerequisites.. can I take the prerequisites courses separately or do I have to do another bsc program?
I an IMG with Canadian citizenship living in Australia looking to either enter into Canadian medical school (UBC) or a residency program later, do you have any tips as I know this is extremely competitive. Thankyou
Hey Kiran, like for Canadian educated students you need to try your best to keep your GPA as high as possible and get a very high MCAT score - especially the CARS section for Canadian Schools 🤙 look into the CANMEDS roles as well and try to build extracurriculars around those specific roles. Best of luck!
Very helpful! I have one question. Can i study in medical schools with bachelor degree out of canada and master degree of canada? Because i heard in US , you NEED to have american bachelors.( this question is about a PR person)
Not sure about the states, but if your education was done outside of Canada, you just need to work out how the grades will be counted/accredited. Each school has their own policy regarding this and your best bet would be to check with whichever school you wanted to apply to :)
totally did not take screenshots of all the tables that you made 👀👀😁
LOL that was the plan for the tables 🔥 hope they go to good use 💪
Can you please tell about the fees structure of Mcmaster universityfor a permanent resident ... please sir
I have a question! Can I enter medical school directly from high school? Because you said you Ryerson university for years and I want to know more about that. Please help me with this! And thank you for your videos!
not in Canada lol u gotta get a bachelors in anything for 3-4 years I believe and then apply to med school
With all of the non-quebec schools, the answer is no... mostly anyways. Queens has the QuARMS program which will accept high school students. They then do a few years in university and then go to medical school right after that provided they meet a few requirements. Some of the french schools will also accept applicants right after CEGEP - so after high school but before university technically. I'm not really too sure with how that works because I'm not familiar with that system.
Usually a bachelor's or pursuit of a bachelor's is required here in Canada :)
Hey, Just found your channel. I’m currently studying biomedical science in the U.K as a premed course but I want to come to Canada to study Medicine. Do you have any advice for me???
Hey Abigail, in your situation you could either focus on applying to schools who take international applicants, or you can apply for permanent residency - although I've heard that it can be quite difficult. Alternatively, you can just do medical school in the UK and then transfer over to Canada for residency, but that process is also very difficult.
Unfortunately, the process is much more difficult for international applicants in my opinion. But every year there are applicants who are successful. Research your top choices and just submit your application if you'd like 🔥
Thank you for replying❤️
I’m stating university this fall but majoring in ba psychology how do I get to register for all this pre requisite before I graduate
Hi Sherita :) Speak with your guidance counsellors if you have questions - you will need to fill your elective blocks with prerequisite courses. You will learn about how to do this probably in September
goodluck!
if you did really bad in first year can you still be successful enough to get into med school. And also is physics a nessacary course for med school?
Yes you can still be accepted. Please refer to this video for how the different schools evaluate GPA 🤙
Physics is useful for the MCAT but is not a prerequisite for most Canadian medicals schools
Good luck :D
I have a question I just finished my LPN with 3.8cgpa and also have a bachelors in biochemistry with 3.3/5 CGPA planning in applying to medical school in Canada, what is my chances ?
Hi, if I am a internally educated physiotherapist who is practicing as physical therapist in Canada. What is the procedure to get in medical school? How would I get my GPA, because the academic I had is international is not in GOA module. Thank you.
Hi :) In the case of Internationally educated applicants, each school will have its own policy regarding how they accredit your grades. Check directly with the school websites for more info or reach out to them directly via email if you can't find what you're looking for
Hi,great video.I am a non traditional aspirant having civil engineering degree from India,currently residing in Quebec .I had physics,Chem,bio in school and college and would like to knw if they are vaild.also is MCAT mandatory?
Hi Samhitha glad you liked the video :D Each school has their own policy regarding international course so you'll definitely want to check with them officially.
Also, please see the sheets regarding which of the schools require the MCAT. The Quebec schools do not need it though.
@@nxtgenmd Thank you.
3.7 gpa is good enough for undergraduates student in medicine
is there a medical college in canda which do not require an undergraduate degree and get admission after high school ?
No, that system is more common in Europe and in other countries :)
For U of T, do my undergrad marks matter if I am completing a masters degree? My undegrad gpa was only 3.3
Yes. Upon completion of your masters you can be looked at in the "graduate" applicant pool. However, your undergrad marks will make up the majority of your academic assessment from what I gather
Does anyone know if BIOL 1593 at TRU is accepted anywhere or is there a better option I should put my energy into? I suppose I can always challenege course exams as well after.
Yes, UBC accepts it
Do you know how tuition compares between each province or is it all relatively the same? Is tuition higher for an OOP vs IP ?
Tuition is drastically higher for international students vs. Canadian students - Mac gives numbers of almost 100K per year for international students vs. 26K for Canadians. From province to province, it varies as well. Calgary's website says tuition is around 18K per year which is substantially lower than each of the Ontario schools.
Usually, at least as far as I know, there is no intra-institutional differences in tuition cost between OOP and IP 🤙
@@nxtgenmd that’s super helpful! Thanks so much ☺️
Which university year a student should choose to write the MCAT exam?
Either after 2nd year or 3rd year depending on preference 🤙
UBC also takes Saudi sponsored studentsw
For the gpa is it an average of all four years or just the year you are applying
Depends on the school. None will only look at the gpa from 1 year, but some will use 2, 3, or all :) I've laid that out in the sheets
Which programs are easy and best for medical school?

🙏🙏🙏
I am doing bachelors ( pre med) in Canada and i wish to do MD as a pr so I don’t hv to pay huge international fee. Is there a way that i get pr while doing my bachelors so i may go to medical school as a canadian?

hey, if i do my undergraduate degree in computer science, will i be eligible to give MCAT??? please someone help me
Anyone is eligible to write the MCAT. You don't need a particular undergraduate degree :)
@@nxtgenmd i searched, and i got this as result. That canadian students need any undergraduate degree for mcat. Now what to do?
Does Canadian medschool accept GED diploma as a highschool degree? Please tell me
Hello. I’m a PR of canada, I did my masters of nursing from india. I want to do PA program . I did my WES evaluation too. When I’m checking with application process.. it’s feels very difficult 😞 and lengthy duration as every university admission criteria is different.Where to begin… need guidance
Hi Shiji, unfortunately I'm not very well versed in PA schooling requirements, Your best bet would be look up the various programs online and then look through there FAQ sections for clarifying details. Online forums can also sometimes be a good source of information
so nosm it at laurentielle too or no kinda confuse rn
Far as I know, there's 2 campuses - 1 at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay and 1 at Laurentian University in Sudbury 🤙
Can you help me apply i want to study gynaecology
Sorry, I'm not doing 1 on 1 application coaching atm. Best of luck with applications though!
How much did you get on your MCATs?
517 (129/131/129/128) :)
@@nxtgenmd Wow, congrats! I am planning on attending OSSD for international students (12th grade) in January. Which courses should I take for a biology-related major? What kind of volunteering/activities did you do to help with the acceptance?
Hi
Can you please tell me if I have my undergraduate degree from another country, how long does the
equivalency process takes????and does this affect my admission?( let's say I have pr until then)
Only some schools will accept international degrees from applicants, the process (and I'm assuming timelines?) will change from school to school. You should check with each school individually 🤙
we are cooked
@NXTgenMD Please can you do a video for international applicants ....am from Nigeria and I have a bsc in physiology
Nice to meet you dude :D I'll try my best. I really don't know too much about the International Applicant System but I'll try to look into it sometime soon 🤙
Best of luck!
@@nxtgenmd thank you so much I appreciate your reply...and would really appreciate you looking into it ...thanks alot ..
Are gpa’s on a 4.0 scale?
Depends on the school :) I've made note on the tables of the schools that don't use a 4.0 system --> see Manitoba
I attended Harvard, had a full scholarship out of HS. Made it 3 years, then the Trump years happened. I had no issues at all with the man, but Harvard went full on Liberal and the professors followed suit. No more learning about our degrees, just full on virtue signalling and protests. Long story short, I transferred to McGill (rather easy to do from a top Ivy League) and my mind is focused on studies again, and no politics.
17:49 Queen's university is scrapping its international stream for the upcoming MD Program admission cycle
You missed the most important requirement for admission to all medical schools - The universe must not be working against you. I'll be so pissed if I found out that the universe had already predetermined our future.
Is it correct that people say there is
kinda no chance to get into medical school in canada cause it's so competitive?😪does my religion have any effect on my addmision?
Hi Mia, medical school in Canada is a very competitive process but applicants are not discriminated against based on their religious beliefs. Good luck with applying
