Small question MCAT related.

[FinalShowtime]

Hi Everyone,

 

I am a Quebec resident and got my DEC in IB (International Baccalaureate) health sciences 2 years ago. I am now studying in a non-related field (Software Engineering) and want to apply to McGill P-Med (or MED).

 

I was wondering if I should do a MCAT even though it is ''optional'' (for Quebec applicants) in order to show the admission comity that I am competitive. Will they even look at it or not?

Unless your marks in the prereqs are poor, it's not necessary. Their admissions office told me that they rarely look at them unless there is a problem with a prereq.

You can't apply for Medp once you've completed CEGEP and undertook further studies. You must complete an undergrad first and apply as an IP.

but I think you should do the Mcat in case you decide to apply out of province. I am entering mech eng this fall, and I plan on writing the mcat next year to give me more options in case mcgill doesn't work:eek:
