From US High School to Canadian University

<p>Hi All,</p>

<p>My Daughter (D) is in 10th grade in a US public high school. She just scored 2320 (800M, 800CR, 720 W) in her first SAT attempt. Is straight A and is taking AP courses.</p>

<p>We are Canadians working in the US on a NAFTA visa. We are Non Resident Canadian.</p>

<p>My D wants to become a Medical Doctor. She wants to live and practice in Canada. </p>

<p>She and I have been looking at the McGill and UoT web sites. </p>

<p>I noticed that the tuition for:</p>

<p>McGill:
Residents of provinces other than Quebec pay double tuition than Residents of Quebec.</p>

<p>Undergraduate</a> fees (2011) | Student Accounts - McGill University</p>

<p>UoT:
Thay have a concept of "Domestic Student". But they don't define what exactly a Domestic Student is.</p>

<p>Tuition</a> Fee Schedule 2011-12</p>

<p>Since we are living in NC, USA we are currently not residents of either of these Provinces. My questions are:</p>

<p>1) For UoT: are we considered domestic?
2) For MCGill, Tuition per 6-credit course is around $1171. How can I determine the annual tuition?</p>

<p>3) Is being resident of a province impact the tuition fees?</p>

<p>4) Is there any possibility of getting Merit based scholarship for her? DO high SAT scores and school scores help?</p>

<p>5) The reason we are considering only Canadian schools is that after her Undergraduate, she will want to give MCAT and try for admission to a medical school. We are told that it is very hard to get any kind of financial aid in Med. Schools in the US for non-US students. If this is the case, then if she goes for an American University (for undergraduate), how hard is it to find a Medical School in Canada for her medical studies? Would it be easy to get admission into a Canadian Medical school after doing undergraduate from US University?</p>

<p>6) On UoT site:</p>

<p>Medicine (Domestic Fees)</p>

<p>Doctor of Medicine is listed under undergraduate. Is this accurate?</p>

<p>7) Is there a school in Canada where Medicine can be pursued after completion of US High School ?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Tuition at McGill is complex and varies widely based on program and student origin. The following may make it easier to figure out:</p>

<p>[Student</a> Accounts - McGill University](<a href=“http://www.mcgill.ca/student-accounts/tuition-charges/fallwinter-term-tuition-and-fees/undergraduate-fees]Student”>| Student Accounts - McGill University)</p>

<p>For a non-Quebec Canadian, tuition and fees are about $16,500 for the first year. First year MD students take 70 credits (Yikes!)</p>

<p>Yes, in Canada MD, DMD and law students are considered undergraduates although direct entry from high school is not available and a bachelior’s degree is usually required. </p>

<p>Quebec is the only province to charge out of province tuition to Canadians I believe.</p>

<p>Most Canadian medical schools admit very few out of province students. I’m not sure how your status as a non-resident Canadian would affect admission eligibility.</p>

<p>Competition for medical school admission in Canada is no less intense than in the US.</p>
