Mcgill Med Admissions

[Maxwe11]

Hi, I'm a bit confused with the McGill Medical School admissions - is there a separate English and French stream? If not, are students who are fluent in both French and English at an advantage when applying? Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.

At McGill, you only study in English. No advantages to speaking French (from what I understand).

English stream only but they allow you to do your interview and submit all your correspondences in French. No explicit preference over bilingual candidates was mentioned but they do expect all students to have a working knowledge of French by the second year (I think it's second year)

Are you a bilingual applicant ?

It would be a disadvantage not to be bilingual at the CaRMS stage.

Yes.
