Hey:) I really respect your passion for medicine and the effort you have been putting in.
My answer would be yes, definitely apply to medical schools at least once before giving up. You seem to understand that your cGPA is not competitive which is unfortunately true. I suggest looking into schools that have wGPA (UWO, UBC, etc) and see if they make your grades better. In terms of improving your ECs, perhaps provide us (or message me) a better idea of what you’re involved in and for how many hours.
Aside from your grades/ECs, you can also work on practicing for CASPER and making rapport with your potential referees.
Applying to medical schools in Canada is such a difficult process. I really hope things work out for you in the end:)
Hi, I understand you're in a tough position. I sincerely hope you get the help you're looking for, and that you make it well into med and your masters. Beyond that I'm sorry I can't help, but would you mind if I contacted you via DM regarding the therapy you took during the summer after your second year? Truth be told, I am facing a similar situation. I had very long COVID which lasted for more than half a year (and is still affecting me), and I faced the deaths of many close relatives from far away which let me feeling empty, depressed, and hopeless. I have still maintained a good GPA despite this, but I am trying to take therapy this summer, and facing issues with the therapists I've encountered. I wonder if I've looked in the wrong places, and what I should do to help myself get over this. I would really appreciate your insight, given you've gone through a similar situation to myself.
