hi rachel! i’m looking to apply for naturopathic medicine in the near future. i’m thrilled to have found your blog to answer some of my questions about this growing field. i’m wondering what your application experience was like and if you know of the most recent GPA cutoffs for CCNM. i’d further love to hear about your first-year/second-year experience (after reading you went to the States then came back to Toronto), and what a typical day as an ND student is like! thanks for sharing your ND student experience with prospective ND’s!
Hi Sam. I’m so glad you found the resources to he helpful. I would certainly be willing to answer your questions, but this is probably better done over email. My contact is listed below. As for the most recent GPA cutoff, this information is best obtained here: http://www.ccnm.edu/prospective_students/academic_requirements&back=1 or by contacting admissions directly. I did blog about my first and second year experiences here: http://thetravelingnaturopath.com/becoming-an-nd-part-ii-getting-through-school/. If you have more specific questions please don’t hesitate to contact me. Keep well.
