I applied to DO schools this year knowing that my chances of getting in were quite slim (508 MCAT, 3.4 GPA). I have an upward trend but my second year was a disaster from start to finish due to some unfortunate family circumstances that dropped my GPA. I didn't even apply to OMSAS this year because I figured with my stats I was practically throwing $1000 down the drain.
I got on DO II but it was at Burrell and they withdrew it because of their own visa problems but otherwise I have heard nothing. I have applied to BU MAMS and I intend to apply to Master's programs in Canada.
However, I have four years of OSAP student debt and my family doesn't have a lot of money. Every time I do the calculations for doing medical school whether I stay in Canada or go to the US it seems insurmountable. My family is supportive but they cannot offer financial support beyond co-signing loans.
I have been informed that I am eligible to apply for a two-year BSN at my university. I'm considering taking it.
I've wanted to be a doctor my entire life but financially another 2 years of a Master's or SMP plus my OSAP plus medical school debt seems completely impossible. Plus, I have no guarantee that I would get in after two years and I would be back in the same position.
I'm so confused.
