So it's been a while since I did anything with the blog... thought I should let people know about some awesome posts that will be coming soon-ish.
Comprehensive guide based on compiled/analysed accounts of those (on Premed101) that were successful in receiving interview invitations for U of T med. Will aim to post by August at the latest.
EDIT: U of T no longer requires the essay, starting this year I guess. They now have 4 questions, similar to the ones that McMaster had a couple of years ago.
Big List of "Back-Up" Plans for Premeds
- An all-inclusive, easy-to-read list of alternate plans for applicants that were rejected from medical schools and considering (a) gap year(s), or another career in health care.
- Will include factors such as minimum, average, "competitive" GPA, tests required, deadline to apply, program locations, prereqs, potential salary, job market, etc.
- Multi-part series (~15?), including a short guide to US medical school admissions.
- This one will take quite a while, will post intermittently throughout the year.
Guide to Canadian med school admissions
- An up-to-date admissions guide with recent statistics and honest advice. No BS.
...and possibly more. Probably the most useful stuff I'll ever write.
Incidentally, daily view count of this blog has almost doubled due to MCAT writers this summer (I can see google search keywords that led people to this blog)... good luck to you all.
Matt
