I am applying this year and really could use some tips on the autobiographical sketch. My grades are good enough I believe (3.7), so it all comes down to the autobiographical sketch. I only ask because I am out of province(Alberta) and male. Both are minorities at McMaster. However, I would love to go there. I have majored in pscyhology for 3 years and would like to get into medicine to practice psychiatry or neurology. I hear McMaster is the best school to apply to if I don't have a traditional pre-med background. I also feel that the PBL approach would work very well for me. I have read up quite a bit on it and feel it is what I am looking for.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am not looking for anyone to answer them for me, just maybe any tips or hints on things to say or not to say. Thanks so much.
