Hi, I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right place, but I can't find much for Canadian Students. I know there are the monthly threads, but there's barely any responses there. Thus I'm posting here, please let me know if I should post elsewhere! Anyway, I'm in my 4th year now of a Science...

Hey, So I'm a junior in high school and I want to study med. My counsellor told me that it's practically impossible to pass the MCAT in USA and Canada as a foreign student if you're not some kind of a genius. They told me that Hungary was beneath my level and Italy would take some hard work but...

I am a Canadian who is studying at an Egyptian (British-curriculum based) dental school, I am done Part 1 NBDE and has a good score. My school isn't very fair in their marking of exams and has caused many issues for my friends. I was wondering does my GPA in the BDS matter in the application for...

Hello all! Sorry, for the long question, but I hope some can lend an ear and give me some insight. I have been researching Optometry for a very long time, and of particular concern is the income of ODs. The problem is, the vast majority of the stuff I have seen is American Statistics. Canadian...

Hi, A little background: I'm an MS3 in a Canadian medical school (not big name). I have pertinent extracurriculars, an ongoing EM research project (and likely a 2nd before match), slightly above average grades and a 240 on Step 1. I have already directly contacted 68 US residency programs to...

Hi All, I am an IMG (but Canadian citizen) planning on doing an IM residency in the US. I am hoping to get into a Nephrology fellowship but I noticed that it is not one of the subspecialties supported for Statement of Need letters. Anyone here an IMG who was able to do a Nephrology fellowship...

As a fellow Canadian Citizen who is born and raised in Canada. The system to comeback into a residency is extremely difficult. The next little bit will outline the grotesque nature of the system and how convoluted and unfair it is towards IMGs despite their BS guidelines. Get some popcorn...

Hey guys, I'm graduating with a life sci degree but my gpa is around 3.1-3.2 and I don't know what I can go into at this point. Should I do a masters? pa? pharmacy? give up and become a house wife (worst case scenario lol)? I took the pcat and got a 77 composite, but i only started studying 3...

what is the scope?

Hey everyone, I'm currently an Alberta resident going to school at Arizona State University and set to graduate in Spring 2018 with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and Finance. I've recently decided to look into the possibility of applying to med school in Western Canada since becoming a...

Hi, I had no C's on my transcript in the last 2 years, but this year I managed to get 2. In March my father passed away, and soon after I received a diagnosis of MS. All of this leading to issues with anxiety and depression. The depression has been crippling and I've had two stays in the...

I have currently started working on my statement for MPH and while English is not my first language, I'd like to think I have a decent grasp of the language. I'll primarily be applying to Canadian universities and was wondering how I'm supposed to write which streams of mph I want to study in...

Hi to all AFK enthusiasts, I'm starting with my preparation for the AFK exam and gathering all the info and study material that I can get my hands on. Since I'm in a situation that I've finished my education more than 8 years ago and, consequently, forgot all the small print and details...

Hey guys I wanna know what is the equivalent process to the USMLE in Canada? if any of you know. Also what is the process to be licensed in Ontario and open your private practice? Many many thanks, appreciate it!

I have graduated from high school and I want to study Medicine in Istanbul, Turkey for some reasons: 1- tuition fees, accommodation and living expenses will be free. 2-Education in Turkey has a good reputation. 3- my family isn't rich. But the language of study at university will be Turkish. I...

I'm entertaining the idea of applying to Canadian Dental schools (from the states). Good idea or nah?

Can't really find any recent threads about this exam, just came here to see if anyone else is planning on writing the exam in Sept 2017, what resources everyone is using, and how they feel about the exam at this point in time... I'm getting more and more nervous every single day.

I have two undergrad degrees, and I did poorly in my first one but did reasonably well in my second degree. Because I have so many credits, additional courses will do little to up my GPA, and I'm a little bit older too (30), so I'm slightly wary of doing a graduate degree. Would it be worth it...

I'm considering medical school in order to pursue a career as a researcher. I'm also considering a PhD instead of MD to become a PI, but that's another conversation. As I'm interested in research being a large component of a future career, I think I would probably need to get into a top ranked...

Hoping to put together a supportive community that's a bit closer to home- It would be great to supplement the forum.

I am sitting on a big decision here and would love some help :) I am a dual citizen (US/Canada) working as a school counselor in Canada. I was recently admitted to a CPA accredited PsyD program, but may want to work in the US one day (perhaps NY, CA, FL, MA). I have my MA from a non-CACREP...

I live in Quebec and study at a pretty unknown french university. I'm going into my third year and just got back my Step 1 scores: 240. Next step is to start researching programs. After giving it a lot of thought, I've decided to apply to EM programs in the states. I am not picky as to what...

Hey everyone does anyone know if UofT pharmacy school (Canada) actually cares about your PCAT scores? I just wrote it and got an 88 composite but I feel like the PCAT is a lot less important in Canada. Also their cut off scores were like insanely low so I feel like anyone with half a brain could...

Hey all! New member here, so I apologize ahead of time if I'm going about asking this incorrectly/in the wrong place. McGill is currently a dream school for me: perfect location, internationally renowned program, Francophone culture, etc... But as a U.S. citizen coming up on my junior year at a...

Hello everyone! I am premed as of right now but I am already looking at medical schools. I am trying to see if there are any other schools out there like St. George where the first year your studying abroad in the UK. The third and fourth years your clinical rotations are in various UK, US, and...

Hello, I've only found very old posts about Liability Insurance. I am applying for a McGill's medical electives, but I need the LI to complete the process. Anyone has any tip/company/wheretolook about how to get that? Other then 'look in your university'- i've already done that. I am kind of...

Hey guys I am Canadian but I study dental school abroad. I wanna know if I do the American board exam will I be able to work in Canada with my American dental license ? Also if I specialize in the states (because it's much easier ) would I be able to work back home in Canada as whatever I...

So I want to get into a 6y OMFS program in the States or Canada (I am from Canada but studying outside North America ) and I was wondering am I at a disadvantage to someone who graduated from a dental school in North America given I have completed my boards and great score on CBSE as well as rec...

Hey ... So I am a Canadian student who happens to study in a non-Canadian dental school. I am almost done my second year of my dent school and I will be writing my NBDE part 1 the coming Feburary (2018). I was wondering about research opportunities because I would love to get into an OMFS...

Hi guys, Thanks in advance for any input! My stats: Undergrad BCPM/overall gpa: 3.13/3.22 SMP gpa: 3.95 MCAT: 515 (127/128/132/128) ECs: pretty good, lots of physician shadowing and community volunteering, as well as leadership roles at my undergrad. I also have a year of wet lab research, and...

Hey y'all! So, I was looking around at other schools out there and was talking with my dentist (NO I don't want to be a dentist) and he said he went to school in Canada and moved down here. So, I am sure I am beating a dead horse, but still... I have a deep connection to Canada, and under some...
