[QUOTE="MoTheGreatish, post: 21919121, member: 1027903"] Two things: first, your best bet is to seek advice on Premed 101 as that is more Canada-centered (or the premed Canada reddit), if you want advice for what to do in Canada specifically. Secondly, while your MCAT is amazing, you WILL be screened out nearly immediately by almost every school except Mac Because of your GPA, with some exceptions (although I think you know them). One of these exceptions is Western, provided you have two years with a 3.7. Since one of your years is a 4.0 (awesome!) you might want to do what is called a “special year” as Western calls it. Essentially a 5th year. Head over to their site for details, but bear in mind that it could be costly since OSAP generally won’t cover, but look into it! As I said, Mac won’t screen you out immediately, and since you did GREAT on CARS, you just need to kill casper (tbh, idk how to prep, but you will need to in order to maximize your chances). In terms of America, there are many topics here that tackle this issue, but just bear in mind that you will have to weigh the monetary costs of this. I wouldn’t necessarily tell you to pursue a different field just yet, but your GPA is holding you down, such that perhaps DO may be your only option in the US even after post-bacc or SMP (which isn’t a problem! Just keep it in mind). I’m not sure if you actually need to do either, so hopefully someone can chime in on pursuing DO. Your MCAT is a great strength. I wish you well! [/QUOTE]
