universities explicitly state work experience and in the case of Oxford they said for a fact that they would not look at any volunteer/extra curricular's. Financial assistance from Canadian private banks (not government student loans) maxes out at $250,000, which I don't believe would suffice for 5 years of Med school in the UK. As stated previously, Oxbridge, however in addition to the already limited spots for Med, the government does have an international cap on med admittance - making it even more impossible for international students. On a side note, since you haven't taken physics in grade 11 and 12, doesn't that mean you're screwed for an Undergrad in Biology here in Canada?
