Universite de Montreal

There was one group interview (where you discuss in a group different ethical questions). Advice: Speak up in the group at least three times per question. The second was a personal interview with 2 interviewers. My personal interview was very relaxed.

That the whole process would be so relaxed!

It isn't the best looking school, and the location isn't the greatest either.

How nice the med students and faculty were. And also, how nice all the other interviewees were!!

Mock interviews, read/researched many interview questions, read about ethical situations, practiced my French constantly, watched the news

There were a lot of stress, interview seemed subjective.

5 years to get a MD degree instead of 4 years.

School was quite old.

Loved the way magistral courses and A.P.P (learning method based on problem solving) were mixed + informatic material.

Knowing my thoughts on specific questions every school asked (Why medicine and not nursing, physiotherapy, etc.?)

i was expecting a longer interview and deeper questions, so i was a bit disappointed. the interviewers were nice and asked very general questions, nothing tricky.

the faculty is not very nice looking, especially the library.

students seem to have a lot of fun in medicine and one of the teachers that talked to us was particularly interesting and funny.

talked to people who passed the interview, asked myself why i wanted to become a doctor, prepared to talk about my past activities, volunteering, qualities and flaws, etc.

Overall it was a stressful but good day, very motivating. There was a little too much waiting around between the group interview and the individual interview.

There is a new campus in Trois-Rivières and once the spaces in Montreal are filled, applicants are offered to go there instead.

Very dynamic students, fun social life. The school seems very supportive of its students.

Read books, articles, keep current with news in Quebec. Introspection, read personal statement. Mock interview.

First interview was in group, lasted 30 mins and had three questions of various topics - for me, education, health and politics. It was rather relaxed, except for the fact that 4 doctors are eyeing your every move. After a long wait, the second interview took place, two on one. Don't believe what everyone says about the interviewers being the spawns of hell; I'm from McGill, and they were super nice. They just wanted to know more about me and if I'm truly qualified to be a GOOD doctor.

University of Montreal students ranked #1 consistenly in past years for Canada exam or something like that
