Â鶹AV uses a 4.0 GPA scale. If your university uses a different scale, it will be converted during the application evaluation process.

• Unofficial, electronic copies of your transcript can be submitted together with your application to the .
• Your full name must appear on all uploaded documents.
• Transcripts in languages other than English or French must be accompanied by an English or French translation provided by the institution issuing the transcript, or by a certified translator. A copy in the original language is also required; an English or French translation alone is not sufficient.
• If not on the transcript, the grading scale must also be provided (usually found on the reverse).

• GPA is only one element of an application that will be taken into consideration. We understand that GPA does not represent the strength of a student as whole; hence, equal or greater value will be placed on the information provided by students in the application form.
• If there are extenuating circumstances that have affected your GPA at any point, please feel free to elaborate in your personal responses on the application form.

• Selected MBRA participants will participate in full-time research (35 hours per week). Thus, additional coursework is not recommended and should be discussed with your potential supervisor before accepting to participate in the MBRA Program.

We are expecting a cohort of approximately 15 people for the summer 2025.

Visa’s must be valid and allow you to work at university that is not your primary university of study. Please verify your eligibility before submitting your application.

Activities related to the MBRA program will be provided in English. Applications in French and English will be accepted.ÌýÌý
