Admissions Evaluation and Selection Factors
Queen’s University College of Medicine takes a holistic approach to admissions evaluation. Successful candidates are highly motivated, dedicated and possess a strong commitment to serving others. Our admissions team will weigh factors such as:
- Academic performance (i.e. GPA)
- Aptitude (i.e. MCAT)
- Credit load
- Letters of recommendation
- The candidate’s personal statement
- Research, volunteer and work experience
- The interview, where we will look for communication skills, maturity and motivation level
- MCAT NOT required for Canadian or non-USA applicants
QUCOM wants students who have a proven track record of adapting to their environment, studying diligently and retaining critical knowledge.
