explorer888 Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 I am in my 3rd year of Biology at the University of Ottawa and am fluent in French. I would like to apply to Quebec med schools next year and have a couple of questions: Could I move to Quebec now and be considered Quebec resident by the time I apply? Am I able to apply even though my high school and bachelor degrees are both done in English? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sceptical Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Hey Explorer, Here are the requirements to be considered a Quebec resident (for the purpose of applying and paying tuition fees): http://www.mcgill.ca/legaldocuments/quebecI know of students who have taken advantage of #6 (1 year in QC without full-time studies), #5 (parents' main residence in QC), or #9 (marrying a QC resident). As for language requirements, you're fine as is for McGill, but the Francophone med schools will require you to pass a French exam.

Sceptical Pour ceux comme "explorer888" qui ne sont pas residents de Quebec, combien de places y-a-t-il aux universites Quebecoises? Est-il vraiment difficile d'obtenir l'admission meme avec de bonnes notes? Je suis comme "explorer888" mais je suis etudiant dans une autre universite en Ontario. Vous pouvez me repondre en anglais (je le prefererais mais il parait que parfois ceux qui pose des questions en anglais n'obtiennent pas des reponses) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sceptical Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Hey Almighty, Regrettably, I don't have the numbers with me. The AFMC does publish admission statistics, broken down by tuition (Quebec resident, out-of-province, international).

Almighty Saguaro Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Je regardais le site web de l'universite et il me parait que les etudiants venant de l' Ontario ne sont pas admissible au programme de medicine a UdeM puisque les etudes medicales sont offertes en francais en Ontario (a l'Universite de Ottawa). Est-ce vrai ou ai-je mal compris ce qui est ecrit?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you (or anyone else) happen to know what is considered competitive for out of province applicants? The weighted average of my university grades is around 90-91% and my GPA is about 3.93 out of 4.0 (OMSAS scale). Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sceptical Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 I would say 3.9+/4.0 would be considered competitive for OOP spots (some may even argue you need a 4.0/4.0), although I usually encourage all OOPs to apply to QC schools, especially prospective students from Ontario. Since the applicant pool is rather large for that category, I would expect everyone to have equally high grades (including yourself), and therefore the non-academic profile (extracurriculars, personal statement, etc.) and interview performance should be a lot more significant in determining the application outcome (I'm speaking more about McGill than the 3 other schools). TL;DR Yes, your grades are competitive. Sceptical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almighty Saguaro Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Wait... Non-academic profile? I was under the impression that for the QC schools, applicants essentially just submit their transcript. No ABS, essays, etc... With the exception of McGill, of course. Or were the comments you made strictly referring to McGill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almighty Saguaro Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Dommage...mais pas trop mal. UdeM n'offre qu'une place pour ceux de ce contigent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arztin Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 McGill has a few spots. Sherbrooke take a few francophones from the west. Laval and UdeM, forget it. They don't take any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
