<p>I'm currently a senior who's applied to college and I've gotten some very generous scholarship offers from American schools such as Ohio State, Indiana University, Penn State, etc. I am from Maine, and I visited McGill last year and loved it. However, my parents are very concerned about my ability to get into a top tier US med school after my undergrad education if I go to Canada for my undergrad, even if it is McGill. Does anyone have any insight on this topic? I was checking mdapplicants.com and it did not seem to shed good light on pre-med applicants applying to the US. I don't want to go to medical school in Canada.</p>
<p>I applied to transfer there last year. Its a great school in a fantastic city (the legal age in Montreal is 18, and French chicks are simply ). But unfortunately I was too stupid to get in, more or less what they said in their rejection letter, but if you got in then go. You will time of your life, and you definitely shouldn’t have a problem with getting into a US med school.</p>
<p>I think it’s a really good school but I have heard that McGill is know for there grade deflation which could hurt your med school chances. Also unless you are really good at french it might be harder.</p>
<p>For a premed student or a student who plans to continue his/her education after college, the name of this school could carry some weight in graduate school admission.</p>
<p>However, I heard from a coworker that for those who major in something more vacational and terminal (e.g., engineering – BTW, who wants to spend money/time on pursuing an MS degree in engineering after he has had a BS engineering degree – unless he is an FOB with a F-1 status?!) and plan to find a job right after college, it is hard a job there – especially when you speak in English but not in Frensh.</p>
<p>So, if finding a job right after college is your top priority, a recognizable engineering school in US, especially those close to where the job market is, may be a better choice. Otherwise, plan to shell out money to travel south across the border to find a job after you graduate from there. The presige of the school name is not everything.</p>
