Admission Requirements and Procedures

If there is any discrepancy between the information presented here and that presented at www.mcgill.ca/medadmissions, the latter will prevail.

The Faculty of Medicine of McGill University conducts a rigorous, multi-criteria evaluation of applications to its programs. The Admissions Committee attends to candidates' academic and non-academic achievements, with a view to selecting students with the greatest potential to successfully undertake the demands of our curriculum and to contribute meaningfully to the intellectual, para-curricular, and professional life of the Faculty of Medicine and the medical profession. Screening and selection processes are continually scrutinized, in an effort to ensure transparency and fairness to all candidates and as part of our commitment and obligation to select candidates most able to provide outstanding health care to the public we serve.

Understanding that our graduates will go on to serve diverse communities in Quebec, Canada, and beyond, applicants should demonstrate a deep commitment to, and evidence of, a pursuit of excellence in academic work, ethical and professional conduct, and awareness of the complexities of the world in which they will go on to hold privileged positions of service and leadership.

The Faculty of Medicine welcomes and encourages applications from students from all backgrounds, including students from underrepresented ethnic, cultural, and racial groups, sexual minorities, and from all socio-economic backgrounds.
