Summary notes and reminders

The data presented above reflect the ranges of admission requirements across Canadian medical schools for MD programs
Some schools indicate MMTP (Mandatory Multidisciplinary Training Program) availability and IP or OOP designations
Residency preferences often favor in-province or regional candidates, with special streams for Indigenous, Francophone, or rural backgrounds where noted
MCAT thresholds vary by school and may be a minimum section score or overall composite score; Casper is used variably as a gate or contextual measure
GPA calculations typically combine all undergraduate coursework with adjustments for summer and graduate coursework as applicable; some schools drop the lowest year or apply a weighted scheme
Application deadlines span late summer to early fall of the application year; several schools allow earlier or later deadlines depending on the stream

Notes on using this data

Always verify current admissions pages before applying, as programs adjust thresholds, weightings, and streams periodically
If you qualify for Indigenous or regional streams, ensure you provide required supporting documents and references within stated timelines
For schools with multiple campuses or streams, check if your residency or program choice affects eligibility or seats

Final remarks

The admissions landscape for Canadian medical schools is nuanced and varies across provinces and institutions. This document aggregates critical data points such as MCAT/min thresholds, Casper requirements, GPA calculations, course prerequisites, residency preferences, deadlines, and notable notes to help applicants prepare and compare programs.

Summary notes and reminders

The data presented above reflect the ranges of admission requirements across Canadian medical schools for MD programs
Some schools indicate MMTP (Mandatory Multidisciplinary Training Program) availability and IP or OOP designations
Residency preferences often favor in-province or regional candidates, with special streams for Indigenous, Francophone, or rural backgrounds where noted
MCAT thresholds vary by school and may be a minimum section score or overall composite score; Casper is used variably as a gate or contextual measure
GPA calculations typically combine all undergraduate coursework with adjustments for summer and graduate coursework as applicable; some schools drop the lowest year or apply a weighted scheme
Application deadlines span late summer to early fall of the application year; several schools allow earlier or later deadlines depending on the stream

Notes on using this data

Always verify current admissions pages before applying, as programs adjust thresholds, weightings, and streams periodically
If you qualify for Indigenous or regional streams, ensure you provide required supporting documents and references within stated timelines
For schools with multiple campuses or streams, check if your residency or program choice affects eligibility or seats

Final remarks

The admissions landscape for Canadian medical schools is nuanced and varies across provinces and institutions. This document aggregates critical data points such as MCAT/min thresholds, Casper requirements, GPA calculations, course prerequisites, residency preferences, deadlines, and notable notes to help applicants prepare and compare programs.
