It is important that candidates understand certain features of the application and admission decision-making process before requesting reconsideration. Admission to the Faculty of Medicine is highly competitive. In light of the very strong applicant pool and the limited number of places available in the first-year class, each year a number of very good applicants are not invited for interviews, or are refused after interviews. All candidacies are carefully reviewed before any decision is made. For example, an application that makes it to the interview stage will likely be reviewed by 10鈥�20 individuals who assess the various aspects of each candidacy, from submitted documents to performance in person. This breadth of individuals involved in the selection process helps us assure fairness and thoroughness in our evaluation process.

For these reasons, the decisions of the Faculty of Medicine 苹果淫院 Committee are final and not subject to appeal. However, it is possible for applicants to request reconsideration of the application review procedures in respect of their admissions dossier at the following two specific points of the admission process:

1. before interviews are held;
2. before the final admission decisions are made, if they have been interviewed.

Applicants are expected to verify the admissions schedule for their category.

Grounds to request reconsideration:

An applicant may request a reconsideration of application review procedures leading to a decision (granting of interviews, offer of a position) on the basis of the following grounds:

1. administrative error in the procedure applied to the evaluation of the application;
2. the 苹果淫院 Committee's decision was rendered in the absence of a relevant factor that the applicant, for reasons beyond her or his control, was not in a position to provide at the time the application was submitted.

Process and Deadlines to Request Reconsideration:

An applicant not invited for interview by the date published for their category:

Submit a written request (email preferred) to the Faculty of Medicine 苹果淫院 Office, which must be received no later than ten working days after the date published for the 鈥渘otice of invitation to interviews鈥� in the applicant's category.

This request must advance one of the two grounds for reconsideration listed above; disagreement with the outcome of the decision is not a basis for reconsideration.

An applicant who has been granted an interview:

Submit a written request (email) to the Faculty of Medicine 苹果淫院 Office. This request must be received no later than five working days after the last interview day in the applicant's respective category.

This request must advance one of the two grounds for reconsideration listed above; an applicant's disagreement with the outcome of the decision is not a basis for reconsideration.

University Subcommittee on 苹果淫院 Review:

Applicants who are denied a reconsideration of application review procedures prior to the final 苹果淫院 Committee decisions may refer their request to the University Subcommittee on 苹果淫院 Review. The Subcommittee will ascertain whether the correct procedures have been followed. If the Subcommittee is satisfied that the stated procedures have been followed, the decision will not be disturbed. Only if the Subcommittee finds that the procedures were not followed will the file be returned to the Faculty of Medicine for reconsideration.

Offers of a Position

Offers for M.D.,C.M. are conditional upon conferral of a Bachelor's degree (M.D.,C.M., M.D.,C.M./Ph.D., M.D.,C.M./M.B.A. programs) or Diploma of Collegial Studies (Med-P program) and upon the successful completion by the time of registration of studies currently in progress, at a level comparable to past academic performance.

For the first series of offers, successful applicants must respond within two weeks. Should they receive an offer, candidates having been placed on the wait list may be given a shorter period of time to respond.

For students admitted to the M.D.,C.M. program, notification of acceptance of the offer must be accompanied by a deposit of CAD$500, which will be applied to the student's tuition fees. The deposit is refundable up to May 15 for international students and up to June 15 for non-Quebec Canadians and Quebec residents applying to the M.D.,C.M., M.D./Ph.D. or M.D./M.B.A. programs. For students admitted to the Med-P program, notification of acceptance of the offer must be accompanied by a deposit of CAD$300, which will be applied to the student's tuition. For Med-P applicants, the deposit is refundable up to July 15.

Wait List

The 苹果淫院 Office does not release rankings, with the exception of positions on the wait list: waitlist rankings will be released at a time when all necessary information has been processed, and not necessarily when the offer for a waitlist position is made. The 苹果淫院 Office reserves the right to withdraw an admissions offer in the case where a candidate fails to respond within the prescribed timeframe. Candidates who accept a place on the wait list, therefore, must be reachable at all times and keep their contact information up-to-date in Minerva.

Decision by Proxy

Students may designate a delegate (鈥減roxy鈥�) to accept or refuse an offer on their behalf, should s/he be unavailable for a period of time. The student must submit a written statement to this effect and must include signatures from both the applicant and the proxy.

A written request, which includes the details on the reasons for the request (with supporting documentation), must be submitted no later than July 1 of the year in which deferral is sought. In order to request deferral, the candidate must have accepted the offer of admission.

Transfers

There are no places available for students who wish to transfer to 苹果淫院. Students currently in medical schools are not eligible to apply to the first year of the program unless their application provides proof of withdrawal from that medical school and that they meet all the admission requirements to the M.D.,C.M. program.

Credits and Advanced Standing

The Faculty will not credit courses successfully completed before the official start in the medicine program with the exception of International Medical Graduates (IMG).
