Though, keep your marks up so that learning in the upper years isn?t difficult. And the cut off will be different in your first year from what it is now, and I hopefully won?t be around by then. But stay on the honour roll just in case. Volunteering and extra-curricular activities are great because it gives you real life experience and means that you?re not an unsociable library tool. Who wants a doctor who?s never been sick and judges you for stuff? Not me. And I can?t really comment on any school other than U of T, so don?t ask me what it?s like at McMaster or Western. Lastly, for, next time, write me a question in the designated space. Not the comment box. But it?s OK because you?re allowed to make mistakes in grade nine and ten. Take a bird course and go crazy!!!! <\/span><span lang=\"EN-CA\" style=\"font-family: Verdana;\">High school getting involved grades<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, i?m in grade 9, and want to do something in medicine.
