It is important that candidates understand certain features of the application and admission decision-making process before requesting reconsideration. Admission to the M.D.,C.M. program is highly competitive. Considering the very strong applicant pool and the limited number of places available in the first-year class, each year a number of very good applicants are not invited for interviews or are refused after interviews. All candidacies are carefully reviewed before any decision is made. For example, an application that makes it to the interview stage will likely be reviewed by 10鈥�20 individuals who assess the various aspects of each candidacy, from submitted documents to interview performance. This breadth of individuals involved in the selection process helps us assure fairness and thoroughness in our evaluation process.

For these reasons, the decisions of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences' MDCM Admissions Committee are final and not subject to appeal. However, it is possible for applicants to request reconsideration of the application review procedures with respect to their admissions dossier at the following two specific points of the admission process:

1. Before interviews are held;
2. Immediately following the interviews and before the final admission decisions are made if they have been interviewed.

Applicants are expected to verify the admissions schedule for their applicant category.

Grounds to Request Reconsideration:

An applicant may request a reconsideration of application review procedures leading to a decision (granting of interviews, offer of a position) on the basis of the following grounds:

1. An administrative error in the procedure applied to the evaluation of the application;
2. The MDCM Admissions Committee's decision was rendered in the absence of a relevant factor that the applicant, for reasons beyond her or his control, was not in a position to provide at the time the application was submitted.

Process and Deadlines to Request Reconsideration:

Applicants not invited for interview by the date published for their category:

Submit a request by email to the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences' Undergraduate Medical Admissions Office, which must be received no later than five working days after the date published for the 鈥渘otice of invitation to interviews鈥� in the applicant's category.

This request must advance one of the two grounds for reconsideration listed above; disagreement with the outcome of the decision is not a basis for reconsideration.

An applicant who has been granted an interview:

Submits a written request (email) to the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences' Undergraduate Medical Admissions Office. This request must be received no later than five working days after the last interview day in the applicant's respective category.

This request must advance one of the two grounds for reconsideration listed above; an applicant's disagreement with the outcome of the decision is not a basis for reconsideration.

University Subcommittee on Admissions Review:

Applicants who are denied a reconsideration of application review prior to the final admissions committee decisions may refer their request to the University Subcommittee on Admissions Review. The subcommittee will ascertain whether the correct procedures have been followed. If the subcommittee is satisfied that the stated procedures have been followed, the decision will not be disturbed. Only if the subcommittee finds that the procedures were not followed will the file be returned to the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences for reconsideration.

Offers of a Position

Offers for M.D.,C.M. are conditional upon conferral of a Bachelor's degree (M.D.,C.M., M.D.,C.M./Ph.D. programs) or Diploma of Collegial Studies (Med-P year) and upon the successful completion by the time of registration of studies currently in progress, at a level comparable to past academic performance.

For the first series of offers, successful applicants must respond within two weeks. Should they receive an offer, candidates having been placed on the wait list may be given a shorter period of time to respond.

For students accepted into the M.D.,C.M. and M.D.,C.M./Ph.D. programs and to the Med-P Qualifying Year, confirmation of acceptance of the offer must be accompanied by a deposit which will be applied against tuition fees and is non-refundable. For candidates who have previously accepted an offer in Minerva and paid the deposit, they will not be required to pay a second deposit when accepting their offer. A waiver will be applied to their account. If the system does prompt them to pay a second deposit, we ask that candidates please communicate with our office so the waiver can be applied to their account.

Waiting List

The Undergraduate Medical Admissions Office does not release rankings of admitted students or waitlisted candidates. Waitlisted candidates are provided with their waitlist number. The Undergraduate Medical Admissions Office reserves the right to withdraw the admissions offer in the case where a candidate fails to respond to an offer within the prescribed timeframe. Candidates who accept a place on the waitlist, therefore, must be reachable at all times and keep their contact information current on the Applicant Portal.

Decision by Proxy

Students may designate a delegate (鈥減roxy鈥�) to accept or refuse an offer on their behalf, should they be unavailable for a period of time. The student must submit a written statement to this effect and must include signatures from both the applicant and the proxy.

A written request, which includes the details on the reasons for the request (with supporting documentation), must be submitted no later than July 1 of the year in which deferral is sought. In order to request deferral, the candidate must have accepted the offer of admission. If granted, admission will only be deferred for one year. Deferred admission is not granted for the Med-P year. Deferrals are granted or refused at the discretion of the Assistant Dean.

There are no places available for students who wish to transfer to 平特五不中.
