is there anyone on MFK in Med school or planning to apply to med school?

not sure about the MCAT scores for U of T, but I do know that U of T's med school is arguably the most difficult to get into in Canada.

for science and medicine, U of T is tops in our country (spoken like a true U of T science grad LOL)

here's an uplifting tip...being a doctor is much more about dedication than intelligence. If you put in the time to study, you will get good grades. With few exceptions, there is no one not cut out to handle the rigors of becoming a doctor.

where were you back when I was 18? lol

I didn't find it quite that simple but I look back and wonder if I could have done a little better in first year than I did had I managed time better. I found that with the courses I was taking, there was never enough hours in the day it seemed. labs, assignments, quizzes, bell ringers, research..and that didn't include all the hours of lectures LOL

I was your classic case of an incoming student with high marks from highschool, whos marks dropped a lot in first year..it was a big change..

no doubt about it but does u of t really look down upon sat scores? Should I take it again and trya and get a better score? If some reason i'm not Ble to get into u of t... What med schools are comparable? I was looking at u of Miami

Don't sweat your SAT scores, once you get into college nobody will care about anything you did in high school. I'm not sure but I think I read that you're a senior in HS right now? I wouldn't worry too much about what medical school you're going go to, focus more on going to college and finishing your pre-med first. As long as you keep relatively good grades, score well on the MCAT, and become involved in the medical field (IE volunteering at hospitals, etc), you'll have a good chance at getting into your choice of medical school. It's good that you're thinking of your future but you need to slow down and take it one step at a time.

short of murder, nothing you did in high school matters in college
