kinesinwalk Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 What's the average (mean/median) age of the average person accepted into medical schools? Approximately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drosophila Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 From what I've seen by looking at stats posted, average is about 24/25. For instance, average age of successful applicants at University of Calgary was 24.60 last year (http://mdadmissions.ucalgaryblogs.ca/files/2016/09/Reference-Stats-2016.pdf?x48364) You can also check out the statistics at McMaster Med here: http://mdprogram.mcmaster.ca/md-program-admissions/how-we-select Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridian Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 This is MACs stats for last year. It is probably pretty consistent across Canadian Schools. Looks like about 70% accepted are coming straight from 3rd/4th year bachelors. http://mdprogram.mcmaster.ca/docs/default-source/admissions/classof2019.pdf?sfvrsn=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m_jacob_45 Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 People are a bit younger in Ottawa too. I believe the average is 22-23, but the range is 20-30 in my class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatMedGyal Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Let's not even talk about Quebec where they could be anywhere between 17-20 in majority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowmen Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Let's not even talk about Quebec where they could be anywhere between 17-20 in majority. Nobody gets in at 17. About 60% of spots are for CEGEP students who are admitted at 19 or older while the rest is for undergrad students who are admitted at 22 or older. Some like myself manage to get admitted during their undergrad when they are between 19 and 22 but this is fairly hard and therefore not very likely to happen (8 spots for 500 applicants last year at the University of Montreal). Some can get in 18 years of age if they skipped a year during elementary school but this is even more unlikely to happen. We do tend to get in at a younger age but not that young!

ThatMedGyal Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Nobody gets in at 17. Yes, for those who get in after French Lycée (Like Marie de France at Mtl) - They are 18-19. Some can be 17, I know a few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowmen Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Yes, for those who get in after French Lycée (Like Marie de France at Mtl) - They are 18-19. Some can be 17, I know a few You'd have to get in directly after completing the lycée français (1 person in all of our promotion) AND skip a year during elementary school. The odds are so small that I think it's not unfair not too consider this scenario, even though it technically is possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
