Optometrie-Universite de Montreal

[LizD 0]

Does anyone know what the minimum competitive GPA is to get into University of Montreal's Optometry school is? Their website only has the latest year's R-scores. I am a university student who will have more than 60 credits at time of application so my R-score won't count anymore, therefore I'd like an idea of what my GPA should range around!

 

Thanks!

They'll calculate an R-score based on your GPA which depends on the difficulty of your program. For university applicants, an R-score of 35-36 sounds about right to be competitive as it's a very small program.

Thanks so much! Do you have any idea how I can roughly convert my GPA to an R-score?

For stronger programs, Université Laval's "Tableau étalon" (which is public) is usually similar to UdeM's (which isn't). For programs that give a weak R-score at ULaval, UdeM tends to give a better one.
