Selection Process

The selection of applicants is based on the overall R Score (cote de rendement collégiale), résumé (CV), CASPer Test and interviews. We consider human and social skills as important as academic performance in the selection of our students. Applicants must meet a minimum score in these two indicators to move forward in the process. The files of candidates who are not invited for interviews are not considered further.

Note: Some universities and colleges have legacy programs which give special admission consideration to relatives of graduates; Â鶹AV does not have a legacy admission program.Ìý Admission to the Faculty of Dental Medicine and Oral Health Sciences is based solely on academic and competency-based criteria.Ìý Letters of support from alumni, friends and family do not advantage (or disadvantage) an application.Ìý

Being selected for an interview

To determine which applicants will be invited for an interview, a candidate’s academic performance is weighted at 70% (R Score), CASPer Test is weighted at 20%. and CV is weighted at 10%.

Multiple Mini Interviews

Applicants invited for an interview will be interviewed using the multiple mini-interview (MMI) format. This year, they will be asynchronous meaning you can complete the interview at anytime within a given time frame.ÌýThe interviews will be held virtually. It is your responsibility to be available for interview timeframe given. No repeat interview sessions or special accommodations will be arranged. A candidate who does not attend may have his or her application cancelled.

For more information on the MMIs, you can refer to Â鶹AV Career Planning Service’s website.Ìý

â–º The date of the virtual interviews will be posted in mid January 2025.

Final Selection

Following the MMI, the final ranking list for Dent-P applicants will be based mainly on the MMI score, but will also take into account applicants' academic score (GPA), and non-academic score (CASPer and CV).Ìý
