			<description><![CDATA[ I have a BS/MS in Engineering and I am planning to go back to university to get my pre-med courses done. I looked into two options: Second BS and enrolling as a Non-degree student. However, second BS would take me more than 2 years as compared to Non-degree will take me 2-3 semesters of full-time studies. Which option would be better as a preparation for entering Canadian Medical schools? ]]></description>

How well are you fairing academically so far? Is there a forum/message board for high school students thinking about med school?<br>I am just curious. BTW I am in grade 11. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi~<br>I was wondering about the autobiography..<br>Is there any age limit that I have to describe from? (like.. Do I describe my life from certain age? such as from secondary school?)<br>Because I've led pretty boring life for the last few years.. <br>Before I came to Canada, I had not bad life (I involved in basketball(3 years), volleyball(1 year) and music - conductor for junior choir(3 years).

			<description><![CDATA[ I wanted to add this quick post mostly to thank you all for the insightful and generous help you've given me the last few years. I have decided for several reason not to continue on the path toward Med School.<br><br>Although the choice was basically self regulated, this forum provided a valuable resource for me. I think it is extremely important for people to not only know why and how to become a physician, but also why not-the latter applies to me.<br><br>Many of your names stand out for me... ]]></description>

			<link>http://premed101.yuku.com/topic/1757/t/time-for-research-in-med-summers-compromise-.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ The school that I am most interested in (MAC) has a 3 year program which means there will be no time for summer research.  Right now, what I like most (at school) is the work that I do in the lab.  I'm hoping to go along the med path, but my backup is Neuroscience (research + teaching), because a few specific aspects of this field are entirely captivating.  I am particularily interested in PNS/CNS diseases, damage, and treatment, so I've got two methods of attack (med and neurosci grad... ]]></description>

However, I am considering going back to school for a year in order to gain the requirements so that I'd be eligible to apply to medical school.  <br><br>In particular, has anyone done this at U of T?  Am I better to apply to start a 'life-science' program at U of T or a non-degree application?  I'm not sure how the med schools will look at the GPA from this 'extra' year.<br><br>Thanks. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ i'm from university of manitoba and i just realized i got screwed big time. when i looked at the medical school application forms for OTHER universities, a lot of them (especially Ontario schools) only accept students with 5 full credit course loads per year---which basically means full course load. Now, how will my application be affected if i have taken 4 full course loads each year and 1 during summer? Also, U of M is basically the only university that accepts marks from summer classes... ]]></description>

The research itself?  <br><br>I guess my question really is: What aspects of research are seen as favorable by the committee that choses the residency spots?
