Never forget how McGill rejected me when I applied in the 1990s. Told me I should consider another career other than medicine. The problem was I got accepted at U of Toronto, Queen's and Ottawa. (the only other medical schools I applied to). Several years later after also earning my PhD, McGill wanted our research group to give a talk there. Told them that if I wasn't good enough to go to your medical school I certainly wasn't coming there to talk to anyone.

Sure, although I was a much different student back then. My overall average was probably around the 85 mark, but keep in mind, that was a student who never studied for his exams. The point is that if your grades are high, great! If they're not, it shouldn't be a reason for you to give up, especially in high school. Either you need to commit to your studies a little more or you need to optimize your study habits! I hope that helps!

Ok i still have a few doubts 1. Is Holding a bachelor's degree or finishing the Masters considered an eligibility for medical school 2. Is the CASper test easy to pass or does it require good preparation 3.Will there be interview for all before getting into medical school ? 4.Is there any preference for students who have previously took a bachelor's from the same university 5.Is MCAT hard to pass? Also is there any university without MCAT other than mcgill which is easy to get in ? I know I've asked a lot of questions at a time, it would be great if you consider to reply😄

Hey! Thank you, I appreciate it! The R score system has changed since I applied, and sec 5 grades are not relevant to med school applications, so I am afraid my grades would not be of any help! In high school, you want to get decent grades to ideally put you in a science program in CEGEP (I would say 85+ overall average, especially in math and sciences). In CEGEP, ideally your R score is above 34 for a shot at medicine. Hope this helps!

Inspiring story man. I’m really confused about some things right now. The medical school at McGill basically offers the MDCM program correct? Is it for high school graduates or do you NEED to have an undergraduate degree beforehand as is the case in the universities in the US? I’m getting really varied information on the internet which I can’t trust. Also, is French proficiency an admission prerequisite? I’m from india so when I looked up the website it says there are merely 2 seats for international students, that is indeed extremely competitive but I believe I can still get in, given high school graduates are eligible. Cheers🎉
@medwithmani
@medwithmani 7 ай бұрын
Hey! So yes, McGill offers an MDCM program, which is equivalent to a MD. High school graduates CANNOT get accepted. In Quebec, they must at least go through CEGEP first. As an international applicant, you must apply to an undergraduate program (i.e., a Bachelor of Science program), complete that and the program pre-requisite courses, and then you can be considered for one of the 2 international spots. I hope this helps clear some things.

Yes well the Med-P program is a year of pre-med before completing 4 years of medical school to recently graduated CEGEP students. Admission to the med-p program is a guaranteed acceptance to med school assuming you meet their minimum criteria throughout the year which is super reasonable! This program is only offered at McGill and UdeM. The other french universities send you straight to 1st year of med school even directly after CEGEP!

Good question! If you live in Quebec, the fastest way to get into medicine is via CEGEP (2 years) and then 1 year of pre-med! If you live anywhere else in North America or apply to any school coming from another country, you have to complete a bachelor's degree after high school which should take you about 4 years and then go directly into medicine. For the MCAT, I recommend the Kaplan books. They are straightforward and easy to understand. Princeton Review is good too, but go into greater depth than you necessarily need to know from my previous experience. I hope this helps!

Unfortunately, within Canada, I did not. There are a couple of issues with applying to ALL medical schools in Canada including 1) the expenses of each application, MCAT, and CASPer test, 2) are you willing to go to medical school anywhere in Canada?, and 3) the out-of-province seats, which are extremely competitive and limited.

@@medwithmani I definitely know that there is a greater chance of getting into McGill or UdeM for example because they favour Quebec students (more seats available for Quebec residents) and McGill is my first choice, but if I have to, I wouldn’t mind going somewhere else in Canada, because we can come back for residency and actually work here right? I’m not so worried about the money for the applications, but I probably won’t apply to the French schools except for UdeM because taking the Casper test in french doesn’t sound fun lol (I also did the Casper in cegep applying to Med-P).

@@alexdipisa7999 I felt the same way, which is why I only applied to McGill and UdeM within Quebec! Yes, you are absolutely right. Regardless where you study within Canada, you can always come back to McGill let's say for residency or even work assuming you completed your residency in Canada as well. If finances is not an issue for you, then just make sure you have a really strong GPA and a very good MCAT and CASPer score to ensure you are competitive even out of province!

Good question! I would reach out to their admissions department for more information, as I am not familiar with the application process to residency for international medical graduates (IMGs). I know that last year, McGill had 9 spots for psychiatry, and if those are already not filled out by Canadian graduates when you apply, then you would have to compete with other IMGs for the remaining spots, should there be any!

@@bougie3127 Yes! Look, the R score is just a number, and it does not represent how well you do, it represents how well you do with respect to your class. Someone who gets a 80 when the class average is 60 is a "better" student than someone with a 95 when the class average is 90. Don't let your R score discourage you. If you do well, great! If not, just do your best in university and you will get in!

I completed everything in 3 years, but that was only because I took a full course load (5 courses per semester). If you take 4 courses per semester, you would complete your degree in 4 years.

Not that I know of, but maybe it depends based on what bachelor degree you're applying for. For medicine, you'll most likely have to write the MCAT and the CASPer test at some point during your university studies, so you should look into them :)
