Hello,

I'm a Canadian high school student and I'm thinking of attending a UK university for family med (straight out of high school). However, I come from a low income family and aren't a UK citizen, thus meaning that I'll have to study as an International student. Like mentioned before, I come from a low income family and studying as an international student can be very expensive. I was wondering if anyone can tell me if their are any grants/scholarships available. I know that since I live in Ontario I'm eligible for OSSAP and federal grants, but that will only cover a maximum of $10,000-$12,000 (CAD) and I'll need about $80,000 + living expenses yearly. I have a good grade 11 average 90+, but I didn't take any AP courses. I was wondering if anyone can help me out and give me some advice since I'm really passionate about being a doctor and med school in Canada is really competitive.

Thank you!!!

Hello,

I just completed my grade 11 exams and stared looking into career opportunities for the future and what universities to apply to for my undergrad. I really wanted to become a doctor (family med) but everyone I know (mostly high schoolers) keep on telling me that getting into medschool is really hard. I started doing some research and to get into medschool you need at least 30 university credits (3 years of undergrad) with a high gpa, good amount of experience in the healthcare field, do well on the MCAT, and do well on the university interviews for medschool.

Honestly, this seems really hard cuz everyone tells me that ur grades drop in uni, even if ur marks are in the 90s in high school, they can drop to 60s-70s in uni. Also, volunteering opportunities in the healthcare field are very competitive. I'll also have to simultaneously study for the MCAT and practice for the interviews (basically fully dedicate my life to try getting into medschool). And imagine doing all that and not even getting in.

Can anyone give me any advice on what to do. I'm honestly feeling really lost. I really want to become a doctor. I even considered studying internationally (uk, ireland, australia, USA), but I can't afford it :(

SO IF ANYONE HAS ANY ADIVSE TO OFFER PLS GIVE ME SOME. THX
