New Medical Schools, coaching referrals, and more!
Wednesday WisdomDid you know that there are two new medical schools opening in Canada in 2025? Simon Fraser University and Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson) are both launching new med schools next fall! This will allow more students to attend medical school! Both schools are focused on training more primary care physicians (family doctors) to help with the shortage we are seeing. TMU is currently accepting applications, until December 2nd. Their medical school is located in Brampton, ON. SFU has not yet opened their application. Their medical school will be in Surrey, BC. ResourcesIf you are a future or current student who is thinking about going to medical or law school (in Canada or the US), there is an academic coach through Gradmissions who works with students from the third or fourth year of university onwards towards these goals. Check out Gradmissions here to learn more! ChooseYourUni NewsIt's been a very busy semester over here! I'm working with several new clients to research different university options, which is a lot of fun!

It's been a bit since I sent a newsletter out. What would you like to learn more about? Hit reply and let me know! |

Wednesday Wisdom I have worked with hundreds (maybe even thousands) of university students, and something I've heard a lot is that they just want to finish their degrees and get out into the world. I always ask these students "Why? What are you in such a hurry for?" I know that 4 years can seem like a long time - as I say this, I'm in my 5th year of a 6-year PhD that I thought I would finish in 4 years. So I get it! But most students only do one degree. So this could very well be your only...
Wednesday Wisdom January is a tough time of year. We got a week or so when the university shut down, which is nice, but getting organized in January is a whole other story! It feels like it takes the whole month just to get back in the groove, and then suddenly you're 1/3 of the way through the semester. A lot of students who feel like this will decide it's time to "catch up" because they feel behind. And while there may be things that you need to catch up on, this can also turn into a trap...
