Do you guys think there is any point in submitting MD secondaries now? My MCAT is average but I have a high GPA

One of my buddies who interviewed there a few years ago had a question on his finances. Also he had a 517/4.0 and got rejected post interview. So really figure out a reason why they should pick you over Americans.
they sent an email describing the escrow requirement with the II which I was already aware was required when I applied. Ooof... gonna be hard to convince them lol but thank you
just curious, the escrow as you will pay them all your tuition at once??
from what it says on their website, I think you need to set aside 4 years of tuition in a US-based bank escrow account. I feel like I've seen this at several other schools where its either 2 or 4 years demonstrated at the interview stage or prior to acceptance.
that's a big chunk of change! But congrats on your II!

Got an A as a Canadian! It’s doable but very hard.
