<p>Hey guys, what are the top 5-10 universities in Canada for molecular biology?
(for undergrad) I have the hopes of applying to an American grad school (like harvard/MIT) afterwards, so research opportunities and school reputation also matter.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>bump…</p>
<p>If you’re deadset on doing undergrad in Canada, you might want to look at UBC, U of Toronto and McGill. These are the premiere universities in Canada for biomedical sciences.</p>
<p>Yea man, I didn’t write the SAT’s and I don’t have many extracurriculars so undergrad at a top American school is pretty much out of the question =</p>
<p>All the extracurriculars I have can’t be quantified; playing in a rock band, working out consistantly for years, hiking and **** like that…</p>
<p>I have a 98 avg though (math/english/phsyics/bio/chem) so I’m pretty sure no canadian school would turn me down…</p>
<p>Out of UBC/mcgill/U of T which would be best for molecular biology do you think?</p>
<p>**I checked Mcgill’s website out, and it doesn’t seem like you can major in molecular biology as an undergraduate…?</p>
<p>…***…can anyone confirm this?</p>
<p>anyone…??</p>
<p>I would choose Mcgill (though, I don’t know much about UBC).
I dare say it is the strongest in sciences in Canada.
btw, I live in Toronto and the reputation of Mcgill is better than that of U of T.</p>
<p>Molecular is a concentration within their larger umbrella “biology department” at McGill
[Faculty</a> - Molecular Biology & Genetics](<a href=“http://biology.mcgill.ca/faculty/fac_molecular.htm]Faculty”>http://biology.mcgill.ca/faculty/fac_molecular.htm)</p>
<p>Frankly, I would say deciding between these three on the basis of their depth in molecular bio is a bit like splitting hairs. They all have their strengths and weaknesses but all will provide a world class education and research opportunities with faculty that will be well known in the US.</p>
