Estimate my R scoreGood to know
The bachelor's degree in criminology is a limited enrolment program at Université de Montréal and Université Laval, and selection there relies on the R score. Université de Montréal also publishes the average of the students admitted, well above the R score of the last admitted student.
How to read these figures
Unless noted otherwise, the R score in a table is that of the last person admitted: the lowest among those who received an offer. The average, when the university publishes it, shows where most admitted students stand.
These R scores change every year, depending on the number of applications and the strength of the applicants. An equal or higher R score does not guarantee admission, and a slightly lower R score does not rule it out. So apply anyway, with a second and a third choice.
When the selection also takes other criteria into account, such as an exam or an interview, the R score is mostly used to sort applications. The rest is then decided on those other criteria.
