<p>Any thoughts? Do I have a chance? I get nervous seeing how impressive everyone else looks, and people say oh you really don't have a chance...</p>
<p>I hate these fatalistic posts. First, it seems like you really love Dartmouth since you didn’t bother to change the name of the college when you copy-pasted your chances. Second, Harvard is hard to get into even for valedictorians with perfect or near-perfect SATs that are from the United States. How do you compare? What do you have to offer? *</p>
<ul>
<li>I hope I did just as you said you wanted in your title</li>
</ul>
<p>First, I highly advise that you don’t name your hometown and workplace in your CC profile, for your own safety and privacy.</p>
<p>Second, think about whether you want to come back to Canada for med school. If you do, then you might want to go to McGill or Queen’s or something, because it’s extra difficult for a Canadian who earned his bachelor’s degree abroad to get accepted to a Canadian med school.</p>
<p>I didn’t mean this post to be completely fatalistic, I just wanted people to know I’m not under the impression I’m a good candidate for Harvard. I just don’t want false hope.
And lol I did mean to get rid of the part about Dartmouth, but I’ve wanted to go to Harvard since I was little (although I didn’t actually consider it as a real possibility until recently).</p>
<p>I don’t plan on going to med school at all. And I doubt that I’d return to Canada for Grad school. </p>
<p>Honestly, I don’t really know what I’d have to offer that someone else wouldn’t already have. Nothing that I can show in a r</p>
<p>Why is it so difficult to return to a Canadian med school after attending an American college? Is this the same for all colleges, or are certain ones more recognized by Canadian med schools?</p>
<p>no, just give up, if thats what you want</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Canadian med schools, being the publicly-funded entities that they are, favour applicants who have demonstrated a commitment to practice medicine in Canada. That commitment is harder to demonstrate if you’ve opted to remove yourself from the Canadian body politic for the past four years.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s a good question for which I don’t have an answer. You might want to try the med school portion of this website, or, better yet, search some Canadian university forums.</p>
<p>i definitely do not want to give up :)</p>
<p>I just don’t want to be unrealistic.</p>
