Hey everybody.
Canadian student here. Currently at a 2.7GPA. Got 515 on the MCAT. Pretty strong ECs in my opinion (involved in the Olympic Games was one of many). Did my ECs on the basis of what really interested me and not to accrue hours and can speak about them fluently and whole-heartedly.
GPA is **** I know. I can do my 5th and 6th (if need be) year of undergrad and up some of my courses I got F D and C in and go to a DO school. Or I can apply to carib now.
My parents said they'll pay for my school but I know they'd rather save than spend more. But pretty sure my only options are all above the 200k mark or closer to that 1/3 million dollar (damn that's expensive eh).
Anyways if I went to a school in the carib would I have better shot at ending up practicing in US or Canada? Not sure where I'd rather end up but probably Canada with my fam.
I know the residency match rates there aren't 100% but I can deal with driving a taxi for a year or two until I match. Or whatever other job to keep food on the table for a little while (probably would just live with parents at this point).
Thoughts?
