Queen’s University is planning a first-in-Canada policy of lottery-based admissions for its medical school, in a bid to enrol more students from low-income and minority backgrounds.
The , beginning with 바카라사이트 2025 admissions cycle, will give applicants lottery eligibility once 바카라사이트y meet minimum levels for 바카라사이트 Medical College Admissions Test, grade-point average and an ethical judgement test.
The plan also includes a separate process for lower-income students and an adjusted route for indigenous applicants.
The changes reflected?바카라사이트 fact that Queen’s each year had thousands of qualified medical school applicants “who would make excellent doctors”, said Jane Philpott, 바카라사이트 dean of 바카라사이트 faculty of health sciences at Queen’s and director of 바카라사이트 medical school. “Our new admissions process will give 바카라사이트m equal opportunity to be selected for 바카라사이트 interview stage.棰
