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). http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=287766 Good luck! Sincerely, Boquinha-ga |

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. https://m1.buysub.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10851&storeId=10851&productId=101357&langId=-1 |
