Hi, I'm just finishing a Master's in Music at UofO, having previously completed a Music undergrad at UofT. I'd like to switch careers and apply to Medical Schools, but first need to take the necessary science Prerequisite courses.
Can anyone tell me what the most efficient route would be for me to take? Should I register as a part-time student and do the prerequisites, or do a 3 year bachelor of science with all sorts of additional courses?
Any idea which marks will be counted in my GPA for admission to Med School?....I have 3.69 from undergrad and should have much higher for Masters, but perhaps that doesn't even count....?
