Change to MCAT

20 January 2022

The University of Alberta MD Program is making a change to our MCAT requirement. Commencing July 2022, we will take a threshold approach to the MCAT as applicants’ MCAT scores will no longer be used competitively. Once applicants meet our MCAT eligibility requirements (see below), their scores will not be used to assess their application.


Albertans
The minimum MCAT score to be eligible to apply for Albertan applicants is 124 in all categories (CPBS, CARS, BBFL, PSBB)

Non-Albertans

The minimum MCAT score to be eligible to apply for Non-Albertans is 128 in CARS and 124 in CPBS, BBFL, and PSBB
