My situation:
Grd. 12
My top 6 average is almost 93
Applied to MAC, Western, UofT, York, and Ottawa.
My goal is to get into medical/dentistry school so I'm trying to find the program that fits me and my goal the best. As far as I know, MAC's Health science is one of the best programs in all science programs. but the question is: why is it so competitive?
As I've heard, medical schools just care about your GPA and the MCAT score (extracurricular activities and references are important as well.) In this situation, why dont people try to get into an easy programs at York to get a High GPA and then go to Ottawa for med school which doesnt need MCAT? I'm confused... 
(My choice in the order is MAC Health science - MAC Life science - MAC Medical Radiation - York Kin - York Life science) |
Go into health science, it is definitely an easier program than life science related specializations. If anyone is telling you otherwise, they are trying to defend their program. Health science people get a lot of opportunities like fashion show, drama, and the opportunities to go overseas through a course, on top of that, the health scis have faculty support. I took some health sci courses and they are definitely easier than my courses, the avg in hth sci courses is like 80-90 and the material is not even difficult
