Hi there,
I'm from Canada and I'll be finishing my senior year of HS fairly soon. I was thinking of finishing my undergrad here, in Canada, and then going to a US medical school because I've heard Canadian medical schools are ultra competitive and getting in is very hard (for example, applying with less than a 3.7 GPA at most schools = no chance. Also, it's very difficult to get a 3.7+ in Canadian universities from what I've heard, lots of brutal courses.)
I feel like my only chance is applying to American MD or even DO schools with not as competitive GPA requirements (I've heard some have like a 3.5~ GPA average for admission). However, my disadvantage is that I'm an international applicant.
Maybe this is really dumb, but I've considered going to an American community college and then transferring to an American university, and then going to medical school.
I have no clue what to do, any helpful information or suggestions? Anyone who has been in a similar situation?
Thanks!
