Medicine 2012...(hopeful entrants) !!

Ah, ur an evil one
But that is a REALLY good plan.

There's nothing against you in your app, good GCSEs, good A Levels. Apparently Oxford only give a weeks notice before interviews though, is it the same for med? Cos if so that's tellement harsh!



Haha, I do like Brits, but England is depressingly rainy and people are depressingly moany sometimes.

Wow, that's insane. And I thought the American system was harsh! England does sound like a much better option, although the fees they charge internationals are actually ridiculous.

I wonder if there'll be a culture clash when you move here from Canada? If/when you get in, start a blog, your story will be really interesting, I reckon.

Yay!
I knew it will come to use one day. thank you canada!

Aw, i hate the rain and nice description. really tempting to come over to study now.
Yeah, its pretty hard, like so many people wanna be medics and there are fw med schools. Pretty absurd, 4 times the home applicant fees but my dad said it is cheaper in the long run cuz canadian med school is another 8 years after undergrad
yeah, huge cultural shock. different vocab and slang, like i talk to ppl from tsr and i seem like such a noob cuz i don't know some slang Hm, interesting idea, I might actually do that.

Well, it all depends on how well my BMAT went, only like 8days and 1hour before i find out my result

Mmm i think it's 2 weeks although, that's still not very long eeee

Oh Canada, oh Canadaaaaaa.

2 weeks is ok-ish, that's about how much other med schools give. A week would just be insane to book train tickets and stuff for!

Drop me the link if you do start a blog The canadians here seem to be fitting in fine tho..

Will do.
How many Canadians are in the med?
p.s. how's Sheffield going btw , guessing a ton of lectures and work?

I know ~ 4/5 canadians here but we don't generally go around telling people where we come from so there may be more

Right now its a little crazy. Reaching the end of our module. First SSC due next week and we're given our 2nd SSC tmrw morning. We also have 4 histology assessments to do this week for Friday instead of the usual one a week and we have a module assessment on Friday afternoon.

Ah I see. Thats still loads, wouldn't wanna be a loner
Aw, good luck. Hope you ace it, whats histology btw? Sounds interesting

You should come visit Quebec during summer or something.
Its beautiful plus quebecois
p.s. half the anthem is now in french.

I know, but i think they should just give me a months notice mwahaha

I think it went alright but i can't be sure so i'll wait and see !!!

Funnily enough the rain grows on you sooner or later. Even though I'm the kind of person who sleeps under a blanket and wears socks in abroad-heat, I've grown to like rain.

How come Canada has so few med schools? Apparently youz have a population of like 30 million (you've got to love google haha).

Oh right, that's interesting. So studying in the UK works out much better in every way? So much studying in Canada, even just to get into medical school! I'm henceforth banning myself from moaning about A Levels. What are the entry requirements like for you?

But you'll pick the lingo up alright! Thing is, even between cities, there's massive dialect variations, and some accents are hard to understand, so hopefully you won't be alone in that. I would guess that Southeners can't understand some Northern accents.
Besides, everyone is going to love you for accent here.

You seem even more of a noob when you live here for all your life and you still don't know some of the slang haha

Nah, at least u know some. Sometimes, i feel like people just make up something on top of their head and say its slang. :P

Naww :/ Where are you applying to? If it's any of the same as me, and we end up at the same uni I'll try and teach you some!

Glasgow, HYMS, Sheffield and Kings. How about you!
Yay! Thanks.
