Seems to me like everyone at Mac is gunning for professional school in a health-related area. Who's going into law?

Im gunning for law school

For those who are interested, I suggest taking Political Science 3NN6 with Professor Flynn.

He used to practice law and developed the course around the kind of stuff you'll learn in law school. You'll quickly learn whether or not it's the right fit for you.

im going for barber school

I'm a bio student, but I'm seriously considering it!

i agree with bendover, 90% of billu's post are trash...

i kinda like reading them tho

everyone likes reading them

if ur GPA > 3.7, then go for it.

For med you need atleast a 3.8+ to be competitive. U of T law average is a 3.9 which is very competitive. Looking at the average undergraduate gpa, most students won't be able to make it into grad school.

Tough.

getting into med school is far harder than law school. A 3.8+ in science courses are not exactly bird walk. On top of that, you have to do TONS of extracurriculars which most law schools do not even need. MCAT is definitely more knowledge intensive and harder than LSAT, which just test on reading comprehension. On top of all that, Medical school has very limited spots and merely meeting the cutoff means nothing. If you meet the GPA and LSAT cutoff for law, you get in.

The Lsat has been proven to be one of the hardest standardized tests in all of North America. Even science students fare poorly on it. It's a skills-based logic test. Reading comprehension is one section made up of 26-28 questions. The other logic games and logical reasoning sections are nothing taught in any undergrad course. You can do well on Mcat through knowledge of science and equations.

Definitely getting into med is harder. Law is a numbers game, strictly GPA+Lsat. Extracurriculars are overlooked and there is no interview process. But simply meeting cutoff for law doesn't get you in. For example, there was 3000 applicants for 290 spots at Osgoode.

Truthfully only the top 15% get above a 3.7 GPA in undergrad at any school. Therefore, getting into any professional school is competitive and difficult.
