Choosing Your Program: A Premed Guide

Choosing Your Program: A Premed Guide

Description

POSt decisions can feel like they’ll make or break your med school chances, but most of the “premed program” advice floating around is misinformation. In this session, we will break down what actually matters when choosing your POSt, including open vs. limited enrollment programs, GPA realities across programs, and whether certain programs “look better” on med school applications. We’ll also cover common myths and questions we hear every year from first-years, then wrap up with an informal mingle/coffee-chat style Q&A where you can ask upper-years about their programs and experiences.

Key Takeaways

  • An honest overview of the main Life Sci program options at UofT

  • Real insight into open vs. limited enrolment programs

  • Help deciding between a specialist, major, or minor

  • A realistic discussion of workload, GPA, and program difficulty

  • Guidance on Life Sci vs. non-Life Sci program paths for students interested in medicine

  • Answers to common worries like:

    • Do med schools care what I study?

    • Is there such a thing as a “best” premed program?

    • Can I switch programs later if I change my mind?

  • Practical advice on choosing a program that works for your goals
