    Here's a tip for succeeding at UofT... Start your research one week earlier than you initially planned. Two weeks if you want that 90%-100%.

If someone is an international student and got into UofT or any other medical school, please give some advice because it is a disadvantage not being from the U.S or CA. Also, I'm in ninth grade, and I want to do this with anticipation because of this disadvantage. Thanks for this video btw!!!
