Hi reader1961-ga!

I don't post this link to be indulgent, but if your daughter is at all
considering becoming a doctor, she may want to look at this
(understanding that there are likely some differences between the US
and Canadian processes).

Good luck!

Simply put, all the above are OK, but the student should go to the
best undergad program possible.  UBC and McGill are about equivalent,
Queens next, Mac and Western about the same, with Guelph at the rear.
I think it depends whether the student would prefer to live in
Vancouver or in Montreal.

I think it would be worthwhile to take a look at the Maclean's 2006
Guide to Canadian Universities. You can find a description, browse the
table of contents, and even buy a digital copy, if you want, at the
URL below. The Guide considers the institutions under different
categories, including best undergraduate and best comprehensive. I
believe it also looks at the different specialties, including
science/medical. Also, as a parent of university-aged kids and an
adjunct college instructor, I'd suggest considering your daughter's
personality and the kind of atmosphere in which you think she would
thrive. Pre-med programs particularly are very high-pressure and
competitive. Sometimes smaller schools can have just as much academic
credibility as larger ones, while at the same time offer students the
chance to get to know profs better and/or get more personalized
attention from academic advisors, if students need help thinking
through their options. These are all generalities, of course, but I
believe the underlying issues are important.
