Admission requirements

McGill separates applicants into categories, including Quebec resident university, Canadian non-Quebec, international, Quebec CEGEP, Indigenous and other defined pathways. Academic, citizenship or residency, degree, prerequisite and language requirements depend on the applicant's category and campus choice. Confirm the category first because it controls eligibility, documentation and available seats. McGill applicant categories

University-level applicants generally need a completed 120-credit bachelor's degree, or an equivalent degree, by July 31 of the entering year. McGill publishes specific rules for second degrees and accepted academic backgrounds, and applicants must also meet the science-prerequisite and laboratory requirements that apply to their pathway. McGill educational requirements

The application elements include academic records and the curriculum vitae for medical and dental school (CVMD), as well as Casper and other category-dependent evidence such as residency, citizenship or language documents. Use the official checklist for the applicant category; a document required for one category may not apply to another. McGill application elements

Important dates

As of August 9, 2026, McGill's application-process page still displays prior-cycle submission, invitation and interview dates. Do not roll those old dates forward. Recheck the official application process and category checklist when the complete Fall 2027 calendar is refreshed. McGill application process

How selection works

McGill first confirms eligibility and reviews the complete application within the relevant applicant category. For interview invitation ranking, the current published formula assigns 70% to academic performance, 20% to Casper and 10% to the curriculum vitae. McGill says the formula is reviewed regularly and may change. McGill selection process

Applicants who advance are invited to the MMI. McGill currently states that final ranking for MDCM and Med-P is based 100% on MMI performance. The school evaluates non-academic qualities through the CV, Casper and MMI, including compassion, judgment, integrity, teamwork and communication.

Not published

Who this program may suit

McGill's MDCM may suit applicants seeking a bilingual admissions environment and a four-year medical program in Montréal or at Campus Outaouais in Gatineau. The two campuses have distinct teaching languages and applicant-category constraints, so review the official campus and category rules before choosing. McGill MDCM program

The selection process places substantial weight on academic performance before the interview and uses Casper and the CV to assess non-academic evidence. For candidates invited to interview, the published final ranking is based on MMI performance. That makes both a complete evidence-backed application and deliberate spoken practice relevant; it does not predict admission. McGill selection process

Practice and next step

First practice: record one answer to Clinic appointment access and fairness. Use the MMI job McGill confirms: identify the people affected, ask what information is missing, balance access and fairness, choose a defensible next step, and explain how you would communicate it.

Review the recording for one observable weakness—such as assuming that a missed appointment proves unreliability, listing considerations without choosing, or ending without a communication plan. Make one adjustment, record the answer again, and compare the two attempts. Continue with Structured Interview Essentials to practise a repeatable response loop across judgment, communication, teamwork and motivation questions.
