But my biggest advice is to go see your guidance counselor if you are in school and if you are in university go find a medical adviser. They should have at least one person who's familiar with the medical schools.

I want into a medical school too. I graduated from high school last June and now I am a freshmen in University. I need to complete 4 years in undergraduate before applying to Med school.

From whatever I've heard so far, you need to take a lot of science courses of course but do also take some general courses. They like to see you interested in a variety of courses.

Get Lab experience. When you get to University, try meeting up with your science professors and ask them if they need help in research projects. A lot of them do a lot of research as well as teaching, and they almost always need help.

Also do community service and get a job. They don't only look for academic excellence but a proof well rounded students.

All the best to all those who're trying for the med school!!!

Do you mean to graduate early from high school or college?

Either way, make sure all your requirements and pre-requisites for said university/college are fulfilled. And make sure in that semester or year that you have off, you do something productive before you enter the university. Do some research, volunteer, take said community college classes, go abroad - just show them you are taking yourself seriously and not just slacking off.

hi dear!! i live in canada too... i think it's better to take the physics courses than not because in university when they introduce it you'll have no clue whats going on ...also also if you change your decision you'll have another subject to rely upon...and take the course in the summer like me cause i am in IB and we can't take all 3 sciences.

Bachelors degree usually take 3 years and you at least need to do 2 years before applying for med school, and you have to be super duper extraordinary...most ppl don't get in the 1st time...if you get in u have study for 4-5 years then another 4-5 years for specialization depending on which profession. hope it helps and btw this is an approximation cause the numbers change according to provinces i think
