Would anyone be free to answer a few questions for my CV and give their advice? Est ce que quelqu'un serait libre de me donner leur avis sur quelques questions que j'ai sur mon CV pour McGill med-p? Thank you, merci Hello, my advice for your CV is to not write a lot !!!!! A cv should be short and sweet as it is not a resume of yourself ! For instance, in your description add a maximum of 1 or 2 lines. If your CV is so full they will easily get tired of it (Short and sweet is the key) Hope I responded to your question !

MedicA1 Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 I believe that this depends on your level. I would indeed keep it short for a med-p application as there is no need for your descriptions to fill the entire two pages. It is normal for a CEGEP student not to have any publications or internships; your curriculum will thus be shorter and they are actually expecting it!

Mine takes up the full 2 pages so far :/ I'm just putting all the volunteer work and ECs i've done. I guess my main concerns are about whether to exclude or include certain things.

I suggest using the full 2 pages because it'll let you be able to maximize the content you have if you can. McGill gives you the full two pages to use and anything within that length is fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prends le temps de bien lire les consignes : https://www.mcgill.ca/medadmissions/files/medadmissions/cvmd_verl_instructions_pour_les_candidats-fr-v2.pdf Considère ton CV plus comme une lettre de présentation sous forme de tableau. Le CV est vraiment là pour montrer comment tu as acquis les compétences non académiques recherchées par McGill (https://www.mcgill.ca/medadmissions/fr/pourquoi/processus-selection/criteres-non-academiques).

Kazem Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 In my first CV I was ranked one of the last applicants and a med students told me my CV was super perfect and he enjoyed that it was fullll. HOWEVER, my friend wrote his CV last day and wrote really few description on its activities and he was ranked top student in his CV ........... He had a 35,2 CRC and got in in the wait list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not say that this a bad thing, given that you consider each of your entry to be pertinent, of course! As for the descriptions, you should focus on what they are asking for in the CVMD form, that is, the experience acquired or skills you strengthened for instance.
