Bring as little as possible

Yes if you were admitted you need to send in an official transcript showing you completed your UG degree.

^ High yield advice

1) R+E weeks happen after every 2-3 blocks. You usually have 3 exams during the week: 1 end of block exam, 1 practical anatomy exam (60s to ID a pinned structure on a cadaver) and 1 R+E exam (cumulative exam from all the blocks you've seen so far which is more focussed on clinical knowledge versus basic science) 2) TCP is a low stress transition period where you begin going into clinics but still have some lectures as well. You have no patient responsibility but get to hone your history taking and physical exam skills. It's very chill. 3)maybe a med 1 can chime in because they've changed this course from when I did it and might change it again for next year.

1) there is almost no biochem taught and genetics is given throughout the curriculum. Unit A is very much focussed on public health, with some basic science thrown in. 2)exams are at the end of every Unit, with some units having a midterm and a final. R+e exams are cumulative exams that focus more on clinically relevant topics (i.e., No need to know the Krebs cycle for that exam but will have to what's the most likely diagnosis given x symptoms) 3)endo topis are integrated throughout and if I rremember correctly a lot was in the GI block.

It's a generic subject line (or at least it was when I applied)

You don't need to send anything else until they send you an acceptance letter. Everything will be outlined in the letter

For sure you don't need to have medical knowledge but having a knowledge of ethics can definitely be beneficial. I have no idea what doing right is, so no need to read it beforehand unless you want to!

It might vary from school to school but someone I know who was on the selection committee for choosing residents for program X at McGill told that they are not supposed to look at the letter/numerical grade received when evaluating students from the schools that use this system, in order to make things comparable between candidates. However, subconsciously it can play a role in the evaluation of the file.

Doesn't matter at McGill, just choose whichever program you'd like the most. If you're planning on applying at any of the French schools though, it does matter as the cote r that is calculated is program dependent. You can find tables in the school websites.

I interviewed in February and had been originally waitlisted. I also spoke w another candidate during the interview and she had also been wait listed and then invited a week or so after the initial invites were sent out. Likely the remaining 31 people were invited then?

Congrats!

All 3 have their own different wait lists .

My guess is that they transform the scores for the participants of a particular day/session into Z-scores and then compare the transformed scores with other candidates.
