Med-P students must obtain a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of at least 3.5 and no grade less than a ‘B’ in the compulsory courses in order to move forward into the McGill MDCM Program.

The number of applicants to the Med-P year far exceeds the number of available places.  Unsuccessful applicants are usually well-qualified for admission into other undergraduate degree programs (Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, etc). As such, all applicants are advised to apply for admission to an alternate program. This can be done by selecting a secondary program when using the online application system.  For more information, please see McGill's Future Undergraduate Students web site.
