I transferred to UBC with 48 credits from Capilano. I have 8 extenuating withdrawals (EW) (withdrawals due to extreme circumstances/beyond my control) and 2 regular withdrawals on my transcript, I was diagnosed with ADHD in 2023 but wasn’t on proper medication until 2025—the withdrawals happened during that unmedicated period. I’m planning to register with UBC’s Centre for Accessibility and have formal accommodations. I’m aiming for straight A’s in my UBC courses. My question: given all this, am I actually competitive for Canadian med schools, or am I fooling myself? I’ve only had an upward trajectory from there with all A’s. Given that I end up with a good MCAT score, 86-90% overall GPA, and good NAQ, is it still possible?
Also, does having documented ADHD with formal accommodations actually help my file, or is it something I should just keep quiet about?

Hi guys,

Is there anyone who has integrated neuroscience and genetics in the integrated sciences program? I would really appreciate any insight on which courses you specifically chose. You can also pm me as well. Honestly any guidance will be very helpful! thanks!!

Hey guys! I just wanted to share a habit I’ve been using for the past year for university which got me straight A’s.

I created an assignment tracker. THIS HAS BEEN AN ABSOLUTE GAMEEEE CHANGER I KID U NOT. it made a huge difference. I would take 5 courses and wouldn’t be overwhelmed with assignments/courseloads or forgetting about stuff. Since there’s tiny assignments worth 1% it can usually go missed/u forget. It does require a lot of inputting. But as long when ur syllabus comes out and u have 30-1 hour time to input ur stuff for the entire term than its deffff worth it. On my tracker, I have:

- assignment title
- subject
- status (not started, in progress, completed)
- Due date
- Days left (this one deff helped)
- priority level (low, medium, high) and color coordinated
- type (quiz, discussion post, exam, essay…etc)
- grade
- weight of grade
- notes (extra info/assignment details, exam/quiz chapters)

There’s a lot of tutorials on TikTok and I remember that’s where I learnt how to create mine. Theres also templates on google sheets or excel. Just having everything on one page gives me a real peace of mind tbh. Hope this post helps you!

I’ve had my Reddit account for a couple of years now but wasn’t active on it until a couple of weeks ago. I have a negative karma and idk why. I really love the community on Reddit and really appreciate the guidance and support people show on here. Does anyone have any advice on how to increase my karma score??

Hey guys,

So weird question, but I’m going on a day trip to Seattle in a couple of months and need to park my car somewhere for one night. Would anyone have any experience/knowledge about “SPOT HERO” parking or specifically 1903 5th avenue in Seattle. Is it safe to park there??

People who majored in neuroscience, how was it?? Were you able to get research opportunities? And how hard was it to average a 90% in the NSCI courses? Any insight on a current or graduated neuroscience major I would really appreciate :)
