<p>Greetings everyone. I am in a sort of situation where I am having difficulty deciding which university is best to do my undergrad in. I have been admitted to both Concordia and Mcgill University in a 3 year undergrad program in the sciences. I got into Biochemistry at Concordia with a minor in biology. At Mcgill I got into physiology and physics. I want to take the best path to med school, but I'm not sure which university will provide me with an easier path to my goal. If I go to Concordia I will have to complete my bachelor degree and apply to Mcgill after the three years for med school or another university that offers a medical degree. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, and if anyone has attended either universities your comments will be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Extra information: I am a Quebec Resident </p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Since you are not entering the MED-P program at McGill, you would still need to complete your McGill bachelor’s degree and apply to medical school at McGill or elsewhere.</p>
<p>Ya I understand that, but what I am asking more specifically is the place at which it would be ideal to do my undergrad in as far as GPA and other factors are concerned. Would it be easier to complete my undergrad at Concordia University in the biochemistry field and then apply to medicine at McGill or to simply do my physiology and physics undergraduate degree at McGill and to then just apply straight to McGill Medicine? I am really a guy just trying to take the best clear path towards medicine, I am even willing to change my undergraduate program if that means it will lead me towards my goal more easily. I was thinking that perhaps I might change to Bcomm in accounting or something because alot of people tell me that I can’t do anything potentially prospering with degrees in these life science fields. What are your thoughts?</p>
<p>Your contributions are much appreciated!</p>
<p>There is no easy way to med school. At least, it shouldn’t be the mentality. Doctors have to work their rear-ends off, and that’s what you should be prepared to do to get there. Now, if the question is which environment you’d prefer, then there might be a better answer to your question. McGill expects students that are independent and devoted to their studies, Concordia is more accommodating to different types of students (i.e. part-timers, people coming back to university after other jobs, etc).</p>
