Requirements

Degree

MDCM: a 120-credit (4-year) bachelor's degree, or a 90-credit Quebec university program for applicants holding a pre-university DEC, conferred by July 31 of the year of entry; minimum 60 consecutive graded credits completed at time of application (45 for a second/alternate bachelor's degree). Med-P: a DEC in an eligible program (Science 200.B0/200.B1, Double DEC 200.11/.12/.13/.15/.16, IB DEC 200.Z0/200.Z1, Sciences, Lettres et Arts 700.A0/700.A1, or French Baccalaureate at a Quebec institution) completed within a maximum of 3 years and awarded by July 31 of the entry year.

  • 2 introductory Biology courses with labs (at least 6 cr.)
  • 2 introductory Chemistry courses with labs (at least 6 cr.)
  • 1 introductory Organic Chemistry course with lab (at least 3 cr.)
  • 2 introductory Physics courses with labs (at least 6 cr.)

GPA

Academics are 70% of the pre-interview score; within that 70%, 90% is the undergraduate CGPA and 10% is 'academic context' (post-bachelor's academics and professional degree programs). Winter 2020 excluded; 2019-2020 full-year courses not counted. Science prerequisite grades only need to meet minimums and are not re-weighted. Med-P uses the overall R score.

MCAT

No MCATMCAT is not used for any applicant category, including out-of-province and international applicants. 'There is no place to submit an MCAT score on the MDCM application; it will not be considered in the selection process.'

Casper

Required (English or French)

Also required

CV with verifiers (CV&VERL / CVMD), 10% of pre-interview score · Academic history workbook · Transcripts · Proof of citizenship or residency (POCR) · Proof of French-language proficiency: minimum B2 for the Montreal campus, C1 for Campus Outaouais; due Nov 1 (university) or Mar 1 (CEGEP) · MD-PhD only: two reference letters and RSPN document · IMGs: MCCQE Part 1 results and medical school performance report · English proficiency only for candidates educated exclusively outside Canada in non-English-speaking countries

How selection works

Applications are evaluated within applicant category. Step 1: prescreening on academic evaluation or Casper moves about 4 to 6 times the number of interview spots forward to CV review. Step 2: interview invitations based on 70% academics + 20% Casper + 10% CV. Final rank order list (offers and waitlist) is based 100% on the virtual multiple mini-interviews; academic data is not used post-interview. The waitlist stays active often until classes begin.
