Medical Canadian Applicant Need Advice

[Mr.Smile12]

Thank you so much for your input! I will post again once I get my MCAT score. As for the postbac year, since we don’t have any formal postbac premed programs here in Canada, would you suggest that I go to the US to do a well established postbac program OR just take some upper level science courses in my city (since I have already taken all the prerequisites)?
*Money isn’t so much of an issue for me, it’s all about maximizing my chances.

Thank you so much again!

Yes, I think your only options are to look at US programs. It's a bit easier to enter since graduate school admissions is more flexible for non-US applicants than medical school. On the other hand, the master's programs are expensive in the US. I think it depends on your budget and any feedback you might get from Canadian med students (if you want to stay in the US) about postbac courses before entering medical school there.

One question, why not stay at McGill for Medicine? It's considered the best English-speaking program in Canada.

Hi,
I don’t think my stats are competitive at all for McGill, unfortunately. McGill has an entering class average GPA of about 3.85.
