Hey guys,
I'd really appreciate some feedback on my chances and what types of schools I should be applying to. I am a 3rd year Canadian student at York University, Toronto, studying Kinesiology and Health Science.
Currently my GPA is roughly a 3.4 and I will be doing my MCAT next summer.
I've been volunteering at hospitals and clinics for roughly 2 years, shadowed a D.O physician and a few M.D physician, President at a Club, Founder of another club associated with my local hospital, and much more.
I understand that there are many schools that don't accept international students, and MSU recently reserves 25-30 spots for canadian students. But then I also heard that a Canadians profile should be much higher than "average" in order to gain an acceptance.
Would I have a shot at a few D.O schools with a cumulative gpa of a 3.4 with a potential MCAT score in the high 20's? If not what areas do I need to improve ?
I was also considering to do a SPM or a post bacs, but that would have to be in the states.
My alternative career would be physiotherapy, but in Canada the stats you need to get into a physiotherapy school, will get you into an American med school lol.
Any idea what my chances are and what type of schools I should be applying to?
Money isn't a real big issue, I just want to play this game all right.
Thanks in advance !!
