Loving these How to Med school videos!! Currently in my 4th yr of nursing & would love to pursue med school in the future. Anyone you know who went from RN to MD in CA?
Hey John, I’m glad you’re enjoying them and that I could help 😁 I dont know anyone no. However, the process should be the same as any other undergraduate degree. You can also email schools for more information. They usually get back within a day or so. Good luck in applying and reach out if you have any questions :)
Yes a lot of them do. My sister is in med school (Western) and one of her friends used to be an orthopedic nurse now he is in MD. A lot of people do it I think because they are in the same field
hey, I am in first year of life sciences, can you please tell me what exact courses I need to take as prerequisite, like you said 2 full year in life sciences, but does that include organic chemistry, biochemistry and calculus? or is that just a preparation for mcat
Please add a video about a mature applicant. I've got my bachelor's degree in IT, nine years ago. I'm 34 and want to go to medical school but I don't know how.
It was a very beneficial vlog. My question is how did you graduate from Health Science after three years? I thought you had to do four years of undergraduate.
I accepted my offer to U of T Life Science over my offer for Laurier Health Sciences... Now I'm truly questioning whether that was the right decision or not.... I'm doing great in three courses first semester, but Physics and Bio killed me... I'm genuinely worried about whether or not I'll still have a shot at getting in, especially since I heard U of T is considering to drop their weighted GPA system. Overall, I'm just worried.
Hey Sebastian, first semester of first year is always the hardest even for me! I went to a science program in Waterloo that was super hard and I was upset at myself for doing so. However, life sciences is a good option. One of my close friends is in that program and also struggled with biology in first year but he realized where his weaknesses were and improved on them. I think you’re in a good spot now, keep grinding and try to do as well as you can - you got this 🤜🏻 💯
@@MikeyAtalla Thank you very much Mikey! This was honestly such a helpful message and really eased my nerves a bit haha. I appreciate the words of motivation as well! :)
I think the "How to get into medical school at ..... " is pretty useful. Hopefully you can get the McGill Medical School episode coming soon. Thank you
Hey Sarah! I’m glad you enjoy them 😋 I’ve been trying to find someone to do it for the longest time and had no luck or peoples schedules ended up being super busy so they couldn’t. I’m hoping in the near future I can find someone to help out. On the other hand, if you know anyone - tell them to reach out to me!
Thanks for the video. So did Carlo go to Med school after finishing the life science degree? Or he transferred to Med school after 3rd year without getting the degree?
Just a quick clarification- UofT's interview style is MPI (Modified Personal Interview), not MMI as you said in the video. You described the format correctly though! Thanks for the vid; I found it very helpful
Hello! Im going to study biochemistry for undergrads and i wanna apply to med school. Im gonna study at Memorial University of Newfoundland. Could you plz tell if its a good pre med major? Thank you Or like i should go for pharamcy and then med. Im actually kinda confused.
Hello, I would like to ask you if you have any tips and tricks for the Personal Profile part of my University of Toronto application. Is there any place I could find the questions asked there? What do I have to keep in mind during the Profile? How do I prepare for it? What questions did you get on your Personal Profile, both written and video-recorded? Any answer will be a great help. Thank you for your time.
Hey Asliraf, thanks for reaching out! Are you talking about the medical admission process at UofT or other programs. If its about medical school, the questions for each year can be found on this page (applymd.utoronto.ca/non-academic-requirements) and the application is done through OMSAS (www.ouac.on.ca/omsas/). It is due on October 1st every year. The main tips Carlos recommended were to try and explain how you fit all the CanMED roles (www.royalcollege.ca/rcsite/canmeds/canmeds-framework-e) and the Clusters UofT puts on their site (applymd.utoronto.ca/non-academic-requirements). Once you apply, they will respond with either a rejection or an interview in January where you will be asked face-to-face questions. Let me know if that answered your questions :)
Just. a question I just wanted please if you can make a video bout "what if you don't accept in the medical school after your undergraduate? what should we do then ?" Thank you.
Hey Amin, that just depends on what you want. You can start working and reapply every year. Do your masters and reapply. Change careers all together… there’s a lot of options but if medical school is your goal then stick to it!
You said you did 3years undergrad, I will like to ask if you applied to the uoft after your undergrad or at the final year of undergrad....like did you apply to uoft in your third year
@@MikeyAtalla sorry, when you said he applied in the third....like you know most medical school like uoft in Canada, usually start their admissions into medical school from October to may/June. So if he resumed his 3year in September(i.e the fall section), does it mean he applied in October.....sorry am asking too many questions, and that's because am an international students who got admission to study biology (actually a 3year program) in Canada and I will be starting classes this fall.

No that’s not true! Apply to the states and to schools abroad, they’re easier to get into. If you wanna be a doctor, you will. Just depends how far you’ll go to fulfill your dream :)
When do I start to apply, I am studying Physiology in the university and I am in my 3rd year, of being an undergraduate, do you think is best if I apply now or later?
Hey Taranveer, it doesn’t matter what undergraduate degree you take so long as you fulfil the requirements for each med school (which can be found on their website). Try and take something your interested in since GPA has a big impact on acceptance. You wanna take something you can do well in - hope this helps :)
Hi, I am a Neurological PT student at University of Pittsburgh, USA. My overall GPA is above 3.8/4 I am very keen on getting into medical school at University of Toronto. I am aspiring to be a neurologist/ neurosurgeon. Will shadowing a doctor/ passing my license exam as a PT be helpful for getting in? I have four research papers that I have worked on and 2 of them have been published in International medical journals. Any leads on buffing up my CV are appreciated. Good luck to everyone applying😊
Hi. quick question. How did u publish the papers? Did u as professors to volunteer at a lab and then slowly work your way up and publish? Cause I am trying to volunteer at a lab and none of the professors are replying to my emails
Do you qualify for wgpa if you apply after 3rd year undergrad (eg. in the summer after 3rd year) given that you're taking full course load throughout all the 3 years? If so how many courses/FCEs do they drop? Thanks!
Same to Chinese students😂 but what makes that competitive is that almost all of 6500 applicants have extremely high gpa and lots of volunteer experiences and amazing MCAT scores🥲
I went to Laurier with this guy! He once said hi to me. tHE WAY HE SAID HI, I knew he was gonna become a doctor :):)
Hahah
Thank you for this video. UofT is my dream medical school and I hope to attend in the near future
I hope you get a chance to do so! Good luck!
@@MikeyAtalla Thank you so much!!

How difficult is it to get into U of T if you are from the US?
Thanks for the video. So did Carlo go to Med school after finishing the life science degree? Or he transferred to Med school after 3rd year without getting the degree?
Hey! He transferred after 3rd year :)
@@MikeyAtalla Thanks. Very informative video.
Great video
Glad you liked it!
UofT removed the wGPA for coming cycles. (except for this cycle)
Yeah you’re right!
3:14 your undergraduate program was in university of Waterloo or laurier?
Carlos went to undergrad at Laurier health sciences

Hi.i would love to get a reply. I am a graduate this year.Can i get entry into med school or i still need to write the med school exam.
You have to write your MCAT for most schools except for the University of Ottawa

Let me know if that answered your questions :)
If my undergraduate cgpa is really low but my masters cgpa is quite good like 3.8. Will the masters will cover up undergrad cgpa?
Hey I’m not 100% sure but masters students definitely get a bonus. Maybe email the UofT med school and ask them how the gpa calculation works :)
Just. a question I just wanted please if you can make a video bout "what if you don't accept in the medical school after your undergraduate? what should we do then ?" Thank you.

4.0 GPA is insane!
Was that his wGPA or cGPA?
Hey! It was cGPA but then since Carlos didn’t have dropped grades it was also wGPA :)
Pr application have low chance ??
I dont think it makes a difference Vidhi dont worry :)
@@MikeyAtalla how your sister got ? As an international student pls help

Hey if I major in health information management can I apply for ms at university of Toronto
Yes as long as you complete the prerequisites on their website (applymd.utoronto.ca/academic-requirements)
Do you qualify for wgpa if you apply after 3rd year undergrad (eg. in the summer after 3rd year) given that you're taking full course load throughout all the 3 years? If so how many courses/FCEs do they drop? Thanks!
Yeah you do! 2 Full course equivalents get dropped so basically 4 courses
Check this out: applymd.utoronto.ca/news/everything-you-need-know-about-wgpa
Should I get a BA or Bsc in psychology
It depends what you wanna do later and what you think you can do better in, I would say go to the one you enjoy I’m not too sure of the differences
انت مصرى ؟!
😭😭😭😭😭
6500 and 256 🤷
Such crazy stats!
Ik I was like jeezzz
You tell an Indian student that 256 out of 6500 sounds like very competitive and he will laugh at your joke.😂😂
Loool other schools are like 150 sadly 😭
Same to Chinese students😂 but what makes that competitive is that almost all of 6500 applicants have extremely high gpa and lots of volunteer experiences and amazing MCAT scores🥲
