BCL/JD Law ‘27

I think probably ninety percent of eligible candidates probably don't apply to scholarships like McCall MacBain because of imposter syndrome, or the intimidation factor. I would encourage everyone to apply in case they underestimate themselves.

MSc Experimental Medicine ‘25

McGill was a top choice while making a decision on where to pursue graduate study because it is ranked highly globally and it has a diverse student population with representation of people from different countries around the world. In addition to that, it is located in a French-speaking province which provides an opportunity for me to learn another language.
