McGillPT Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Hey there, I graduated from Mcgill back in 2019 with a degree in kinesiology (GPA = 3.7/4). It has always been my dream to be a doctor but I beleive my GPA is too low. From my understanding, I can do a second undergrad to raise my GPA and I am really interested in PT. Does Mcgill accept people who have already completed an undergrad in their PT program? Is my GPA competitive enough? As a side note, I am specifically talking about the BSc in PT and not the Qualifying Year! Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicA1 Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 https://www.mcgill.ca/medadmissions/prospective/our-statistics If you take a look at the statistics regarding the most recent M.D.,C.M. application cycle, you can see that a GPA of around 3.85 is usually considered competitive. Perhaps you could consider a postgraduate program; this increases your chance of getting an invitation to the MMIs when your basis of admission degree’s GPA is lower than 3.75. As for kinesiology, I have to admit not knowing if the subject of your B.Sc. plays a (significant) role in their decision making process.
