What R score do you need for nutrition?
R scores at the latest admissions
For each university, the lowest R score admitted at the latest published admission, the average when the university publishes it, and the previous year's R score.

Estimate my R scoreGood to know
To become a nutritionist (dietitian), you need a bachelor's degree in nutrition recognized by the professional order. Université de Montréal sets no minimum R score: it assesses the application as a whole and publishes the average of the students admitted.
At McGill University, two programs stand apart: Dietetics, which leads to the profession, and Nutrition.
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.
