Default Graduating this semester and...what now?

Hey everyone,

So I've made a thread in the past but I feel like my situation has changed a bit. I am finishing up a degree in science this semester at McGill and my GPA is just over 3.1, mainly due to a horrible, horrible first year. My second year was nothing special, but my last semester went pretty well (3.65) and this semester is looking good so far (straight As).

Anyways, I applied to pharmacy just for the hell of it and (obviously) got rejected at UdeM. They gave me a CRU of 29.3, and I haven't heard back from ULaval yet.

I was thinking of doing a second undergrad, but I don't know what I should do and where. From what I've read, it would be more beneficial for me to go to Ontario, where there are more universities that will consider my application only by looking at my second undergrad, whereas I'd be pretty much screwed here with UdeM, ULaval, Sherbrooke. By going to Ontario, I'd be considered as an IP when I apply to med, which would be good for me. Can anyone confirm this and tell me if my reasoning is good?

Also, I was waitlisted at Biomed sci at ULaval. That came as a bit of a shock for me, wasn't really expecting that but oh well.

I haven't applied anywhere in Ontario yet, but I did apply at UdeM and ULaval. I know the deadline for UofO is April 1st, but I haven't checked out the other schools.

I have also applied to medical school in France. I have pretty good chances of getting accepted, but I'm not sure I want to go through the whole PAES and risk wasting a whole year for nothing.

Thanks a lot!
