MedicalTown Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Hi, I was wondering if at the end of the year the university publishes a sort of "dean's list". A list of all students for example who had a GPA above 3.7, or a list of similiar purpose. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigars53 Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 No they don't publish it, But they write it on the dean's letter for the carms when you have a grade in the top 5 or 10% in any course, or if you have a general mean in the top 5 or 10%.

Hi tigars53, do you know what content appears in the dean's letter for Quebec universities? If your marks aren't that great or if you failed a class, does the dean's letter emphasize it more?

tigars53 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Each university has it's own version of it. At Sherbrooke, they list: - all the accomplishments (top 10%, top 5%, scholarships, implication recognized by the university) - grade and class mean for each phase (phase 1 biomedical, phase 2 systems, phase 3 multidisciplinary, phase 4 clerkship) - grade at each rotation and class mean for each rotation - detailed evaluations of each rotations.

LittleDaisy Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 I believe that at the English medical schools, they don't necessary have grades like the French schools. But they do list your relative academic standing compared to your classmates, I.e ( in the average, above or below the average). Nevertheless, it is more clement to have pass or fail systems for occasional bad grades Each university has it's own version of it.

JessieMed Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 At McGill, does the dean's letter contain your grades and your precise "rank" compared to your cohort? Or does it just list "over average"? How do competitive residencies know if you are "excellent" rather than just "good"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleDaisy Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 They do have honours and scholarships for each class, so it is pretty easy to tell apart an applicant who is strong academic wise. For the ranking, I am not exactly sure, every school has its own way. For competitive residencies, it is to your advantage to have good academic base, since it would help for clerkship and it is favorably well looked up during CaRMS.
