For details about the interview weekend schedule of events, check the
itinerary.
- Students entering the Doctor of Medicine Program must hold an undergraduate honors degree or equivalent. Applicants may apply no earlier than their final year of study.
- Schulich Medicine will permit students to complete a special fifth year of study, and will count the marks from this year toward the student's application.
- Students may choose any program of study, so long as it meets the above requirements. There are no prerequisite courses.
- All applicants to Schulich Medicine must write the MCAT.
- SWOMEN applicants must bring their high school transcripts to the interview.
For admission in 2010, students must have achieved a GPA of at least 3.7 in at least two full-time years of study. If, at the time of application, the student has only one full-time year of study above 3.7, he/she will be offered admission pending the completion of a second full-time year of study above 3.7.
