What it takes to reach a 509 in Quebec
Every one of our MCAT tutors scored 515+ themselves, and you work with the one who fixed the section you are stuck on.
What medical schools in Quebec look for
Median MCAT across Quebec runs from 506 at Université de Sherbrooke Faculté de Médecine et des Sciences de la Santé to 513 at McGill University Faculty of Medicine. Where your score sits in that spread shapes which of them to apply to, so application, so check it before you build a list. What counts as a good MCAT score sets out the national picture, and the percentile tables show what each scaled score means.
Between 3.91 and 3.91 is where median GPA sits. A GPA below that band is still in the conversation with a strong MCAT, and a single cycle is long enough to raise an MCAT score. If you have already tested, the retake calculator prices what another attempt would take, and the score calculator converts an AAMC practice test into a scaled score.
For residents, tuition starts at $4,070 at Université de Montréal Faculté de Médecine and reaches $30,481 at Université de Sherbrooke Faculté de Médecine et des Sciences de la Santé. Medical school tuition across the US and Canada puts those numbers in context.
There is no shared application here. Each school takes its own, so every one on your list is a separate submission with its own deadline.

Common questions about medical schools in Quebec
How many medical schools are in Quebec?
Four medical schools. Every one is listed in the table above with its median MCAT, median GPA and tuition.
What MCAT score do you need for medical school in Quebec?
Median MCAT runs from 506 to 513, so a score at or above 513 puts you in range at about half of them. A median is the midpoint rather than a cut-off, and roughly half of each admitted class scored below it. What counts as a good MCAT score goes through how to read those numbers, and our guide to raising a score covers how to raise one.
What GPA do you need for medical school in Quebec?
Medians land between 3.91 and 3.91. A GPA under that band is workable when the MCAT is strong, which is the part of the application still open to change once your transcript is fixed.
How much does medical school cost in Quebec?
In-state tuition runs from $4,070 a year at Université de Montréal Faculté de Médecine to $30,481 at Université de Sherbrooke Faculté de Médecine et des Sciences de la Santé, before living costs. Tuition across the US and Canada sets those against the national range.
Which Quebec medical school is easiest to get into?
By median MCAT, Université de Sherbrooke Faculté de Médecine et des Sciences de la Santé admits at the lowest score of the group at 506. That makes it the most forgiving on numbers, though secondaries, interviews and mission fit still decide the outcome. Our secondary prompt database carries the essays each school asks for.
Which application service do Quebec medical schools use?
A direct application to four. The table above lists it per school, so you can group your list by service before you start writing.
Are there DO schools in Quebec?
No. Every program in Quebec awards an MD. Osteopathic programs elsewhere generally admit at lower median scores, so add them to a list built around this state.
Can you get into a medical school in Quebec with a low GPA?
It happens, and the MCAT is usually what carries it. With medians between 3.91 and 3.91, a GPA a few tenths under still gets read when the test score sits at or above the median and the rest of the application is strong. An upward trend across your transcript reads better than a flat average, and a post-bacc or a master's is the standard route when the gap is wider than that. Raising an MCAT score is the faster of the two levers.
When should you apply to medical school in Quebec?
AMCAS opens in May and submitting in the first weeks of June is the strongest position, because most schools review on a rolling basis. Work back from that to pick a test date on the AAMC calendar, leaving room for a retake if the first score comes in short.
