i goofed my first interview at ohio state when he asked why i hadn't gotten into cdn schools the year before. truth is, i messed up my verbal on the mcat, but i rewrote this year and did much better. he seemed unconvinced that with "big mcats", as he put it, i would choose osu with $55,000 US tuition over a cdn school with sub $10,000 CA tuition. i smartened up at northwestern and really convinced them that i was willing to pay more for a quality education, i wanted to move to a big city, to explore the us healthcare system and really start a life there. they want to hear that you're committed, that you're dying to study and stay in the states.
on that note, if i were to study in the states and do residency there, i'm assuming it would be dead easy to work there afterwards. but if i should choose to return home one day (nothing beats vancouver), how difficult is it to become licensed? i'm having trouble finding info on this.
