I wanted to ask about ways to finance medical school. I'm moving from the U.S. to Canada for my junior year of high school. My family originally moved from India to the U.S. because my dad had a high-paying IT job, but now we are trying to move to Canada. We will have significantly less money because my parents will try to take smaller jobs (cashier, daycare worker, etc.), and I am expected to work part-time as well if it doesn't disturb my studies. I am hoping that after a few years, my parents might get better jobs that reflect their education, but I don't know for sure if things will work out that way. We are moving to a pretty location, though, so that is nice. I worked very hard in the U.S. (rank 5 out of over 600 students), although I struggled to develop ECs and was a bit sad over the past year since we had some financial difficulties in the months leading up to my dad losing his job. I would ideally like to go into family medicine and have some measure of financial security and time to enjoy with my future children, but I don't want to get my hopes too high. Hopefully, I will get my permanent residency (PR) for Canada by the time I complete my bachelor's, but I am really worried about how I would finance my whole education, and how to set up a backup plan in case medicine doesn't work out.

Right now my plan is to do an RPN, then an RN, and then apply to medical school (since I would get my PR quickly through working in healthcare). I was hoping to work on premed courses a bit while doing my RPN and RN, and then finish up premed in 1-2 years after my RN before applying. I would like to become a doctor between my late twenties and mid-thirties and still have a life while doing it, I don't really know.

Hello! I might be moving to Canada for my junior year of high school and beyond. I have done very well academically in the U.S. so far, ranking 5th in my grade level with over 600 kids in my grade level. I have more trouble developing extracurriculars, though. Since I might be moving to Canada, I wanted to ask what I should know about college and applications and stuff, because I really would like to get into a great Canadian university and am really hard-working. I am interested in biochemistry and would love to become a professor one day in a university in Canada or the U.S. (the latter being where I currently am, but my family is moving from the U.S. to another country and Canada is currently a likely option).

I've been trying to gain some weight and was wondering any easy ways to increase calories. So far I've found that nuts leave me really full, but I find it a lot easier to drink whole milk. Also, once I am able to get to a better place in terms of my weight (goal would be 108-112, I am 5 feet tall and went from 150 to 101.6 and am currently up at 104), would it still be possible to integrate whole milk without tracking? I would like to gain both fat (for health reasons rather than aesthetic reasons) and muscle.

edit: also, how do you get over the fear of gaining weight? part of me wants to avoid it because I am technically not underweight and maybe might have had one period at 104, but I am still trying to get to 108 because I should listen to my doctor and I also might not have had a period at 104, and even if I did it was evidently an unstable weight. I honestly have quite an appetite right now and am afraid that I will have to be very rigid around food after gaining weight. right now I try to just be mindful so that I dont give myself a stomach ache, but I am worried about obsessively counting again once I reach a weight good for me, especially if my appetite stays the same.

I don't know why. I do great on my MCQs. I've had 100s in class all year. I've been working through the Princeton book since early March. But I still do terribly on FRQs, and it's bringing my score down to a 4. Please help me. Everyone says to just practice more or read carefully, but no matter what i do I keep messing up.
