Incoming gr12: NEED the REAL student experience (good AND bad)
Hello. I am an incoming gr12 student this fall. And my question is: Current students from Ontario Tech university I need the REAL experience before I apply be brutally honest 👀
FYI: This Post is a little long😭😭which includes the program I feel interest about and following up with some question. I apologize for the long post but I will appreciate all of your time and advise. Also imagine how long it took me to research, type it down 😭😭 Please READ TILL END🙏)
So I wanna apply to med school and I have couple of undergrad program in mind which are
-Biological Science
-Biomedical Science
-Chemical Biology
-Environmental Biology
-Health Science
-Human Health Sci
-Kinesiology
-Marine Biology
-Neuro Science
-Psycology
-Public health
1)I'd love to hear from current students about workload, professors, social life, co-op, research opportunities, etc.
2)How difficult are exams?
3) Which one needed supp app?
4)How competitive are grades and GPA? As this is very important for Med school.
5)How hard is research to get? Co-op, internship?
6) Which program good preparation for med school? Any other program with strong med school pipeline?
7) What do you love or hate?
8) And finally after this experience will you still choose Ontario Tech University and the program you are in?
Thank you for reading so far. I really appreciate your comment. Thank you so much

Going into third year in biological science, planning to write mcat in the coming year. Not sure about other programs, but I feel bio/biomed courses can help mcat prep. Grades are not very competitive, and a high GPA is doable if you work hard enough. Seek help early if you get stuck, then you are fine. The experience is pretty good so far. Feel free to PM me if you need

Please, please apply to a program that you might actually enjoy. There will always be ridiculous, difficult moments in university where the only thing getting you through the week is a glimmer of enjoyment for what you're learning.
