Building Your Canadian Medical School List
Canada has relatively few medical schools, and each has strong provincial preferences, distinct prerequisites, and its own MCAT policy, so where you apply matters enormously. Scholr helps you build a list that reflects where you are genuinely competitive, guided by mentors and former admissions evaluators who know the Canadian landscape.

How It Works
Profile assessment
We map your GPA, MCAT, experiences, and province of residence to see exactly how competitive you are and where you stand.
School research and fit
Your mentor researches programs against your profile, including in-province advantage, prerequisites, and each school's MCAT policy.
Build your list
Together we build a balanced list across in-province and out-of-province schools, with enough range to protect your cycle without wasting applications.
Refine and finalize
We pressure-test the list against deadlines, requirements, and your goals, then finalize a strategy you can apply to with confidence.
Doctors Supporting Future Doctors
Physicians, former admissions committee members, and recently accepted medical students. From schools including Toronto, McGill, UBC, and McMaster.
Results built on strategy, mentorship, and support.

Frequently asked questions
There are 17 medical schools in Canada, spread across the provinces, each with its own admissions requirements and preferences. That small number makes a smart, well-researched list especially important.
A great deal. Many Canadian schools admit heavily or almost entirely from within their province, so your residency is one of the biggest factors in where you are competitive. We build it into your list from the start.
For many Canadian applicants it is worth considering, since it widens your options. We help you weigh the added cost and requirements against your profile and goals.
No. Some require it, some weigh it lightly, and a few do not use it at all. We factor each school's MCAT policy into your list so you focus your energy where it counts.
Ideally before applications open, so you can confirm prerequisites and plan around each school's timeline. We build your list early and refine it as your cycle takes shape.
