Estimate my R scoreA single program in Québec
Université de Montréal is the only university offering the doctorate in veterinary medicine in Québec, in Saint-Hyacinthe and in Rimouski. Selection does not rely solely on academic results, since other criteria, such as a test or an interview, are added.
As places are few, it is best to list a second and a third choice in your application.
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.
