md-2200 Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 Hi! Did u guys have the site selection tab appear on minerva after the mmi with an upload button? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ms2017 Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 yes got it too. it says that there are 152 seats in montreal for people admitted with a university degree. How many of those seats are reserved for quebec candidates? i thought i read 76 somewhere but that doesn't make sense. shouldn't quebec residents occupy most of the 152 seats?

md-2200 Posted February 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 I honestly have no idea, are they counting md-phd and international and the cegep students in the 152? If anyone has more info please clarify! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrNan Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 I had the same question: total 156 spots in Montreal for 2020 so 152 going to uni students doesn’t make sense to me....50 premed + 11 OOP + 2 INTL + 5 MDCM/PHD = 68 spots not for IP uni which means 88 spots this year for IP?

giraffe3 Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 So I’m pretty sure it’s a typo. What they did was 156-4 = 152 instead of 156-50 = 106 In my opinion this is the only explanation that makes sense.

Mel96b Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Even 110 spots for candidates with an university degree seems too good to be true haha, since it's way more than last year, and less people were interviewed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elgar Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 This number is likely to be the overall number of seats in Montreal campus (Med-Ps included). Each cohort is about 175-180 students, so 152 students in Montreal would make sense with 25 students in Gatineau for next year.

MedicalNewbie Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 You have to take into consideration that students that were in the Med-P year are transferring to the MDCM year 1. These spots are included in the 156 total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giraffe3 Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Hey guys so it seems they updated the form to read "106" instead of "152", it was just a typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrNan Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Do we know how many IP spots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this link https://www.mcgill.ca/medadmissions/applying/categories/roq/md-roq-u still says 76, but they mentioned at the interviews that they are negotiating with the Government to try to allocate approx. 4-10 additional spots given the new campus. From what I understand, for the time being there are roughly 72 spots in Montreal and 4 in Outaouais. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

Additionally, they said that they aim to attribute between 2-5 seats to the RSPP Pathway (who are also QC University applicants). There are also up to 6 positions for First Nations & Inuit residents of QC (these are shared by the four QC faculties (I'm not sure if they are supernumerary or not). Finally, we don't know if all 70-72 Med-Ps are being promoted (the actual number of Med-Ps admitted in Fall 2019 is inconsistent), which could potentially add seats for QC Uni applicants too.

giraffe3 Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 In terms of site selection, if you put "either, with preference to Montreal" and are waitlisted, does anyone know if a spot opens at Outaouais first, but the person one position behind them on the wait list put "either with preference to Outaouais" how it would work? From what I understand they do admit off the waitlist in small batches, so lets say there are 5 students who decline by the initial deadline, they offer 5 spots off the wait list at the same time, and I would assume they would take into account all 5 of the waitlisted the student's choices, depending on where the spots opened of course, but then would this differ later in the summer when the list shifts by just one spot on occasion? Does anyone know if applicants are issued a waitlist position for each campus respectively? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 156 new spots, for new students, either entering Med-P or MDCM year 1. The number of spots allocated to college students doesn't necessarily equal the number of students transferring from med-p to year 1.

I'm really sorry (I'm sure I must be missing something obvious) but I still can't figure out where to upload it. It says to submit it under the checklist item "SSMD" but that checklist item isn't present on my Minerva. Super confused right now Thanks!

Hey no worries, so it should be in your checklist just above the List of Verifiers that you once uploaded. It's called "site selection medicine" and should have a button to upload the file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just goes from "Proof of Citizenship/Permanent Residence" to "List of Verifiers." Nothing in between. Do you also have a checklist item for the Vaccination form? (because I don't have that either!) I guess I better call them. Not sure why it's not showing up. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJP Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Are you an out of province candidate? I think I remember reading on the form that the site selection was only for in province candidates. giraffe3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
