Is medical school on the horizon? Did you know that Not getting into medical school the first time you apply is the norm in Canada? In fact, most academically-gifted, talented applicants apply 2-3 times before they get accepted. Despite this, students (and parents) greatly under-estimate the challenge of applying to, interviewing for, and getting accepted to medical school in Canada-especially the first time. They don't know that: most medical schools require students to list and describe their activities from age 16 onward, when they apply; medical schools focus on cumulative undergraduate grades, including the often transitional or tumultuous first year of university; the majority of motivated, smart students in Canada are not getting accepted. Whether in high school or university, this book helps students and their families learn to strategize and prepare for future medical applications now with insights from a pre-med expert and former medical school application reader/interviewer with 20 years of experience coaching thousands of students dreaming of becoming a physician. Get the insider strategies you need to avoid the pitfalls in today's more complex applications so you can stand out in a highly accomplished group of medical-school hopefuls!
