Hey kidflip,
We're talking major cash here. Upwards of 75-85Gs canadian per year depending on the school. I think 55Gs US covers most schools, but I doubt its enough for NYU or PACIFIC or USC three very expensive schools. UPENN, Columbia, and BU are also very expensive. Alot of private schools have tuition around the 30G mark (Nova, Case Western, Temple, Marquette etc) but then you have instruments(6Gs), books(1.5Gs), fees(1.5Gs), and room and board(10-15Gs)depending on where you live. Add it all up you're looking at around upwards of 50 thousand dollars american which translates to approx 75 thousand Canadian. Thats some serious dough. I can't believe you were waitlisted with twenties on your DAT. I mean I had one crappy mark (15 on my Pat)so I can sort of understand my situation eventhough my Gpa was 3.87. To be honest, I thought I was a shoe in, not to brag, but I am good with people and worked my ass off in undergrad so I thought I deserved a shot, I guess it really is that competitive up here. Anyways, private schools don't really care if you're a Canadian, but public schools do. My number one choice is Buffalo because its close and cheaper than private schools but its public which makes it harder to get into. The teller wasn't black by the way, he appeared east indian, but supposedly the school does accept caucasians, I mean they should I've seen some white professors! Anyways best of luck, you may get in at UofT because they often take quite a few from the waitlist. From what I've heard, alot of the people at the head of the waitlist were already accepted into meds and have already dropped their spots, with your stats I think you have a good shot.
