Faculty of Medicine wording: “Last CEGEP application that received an offer of admission as of August 15, 2026”.

Wording of the official table: “Lowest college R score (R score) among CEGEP applicants who received an offer of admission before the waiting list”.

Value from the official table accompanied by the note: “The R score on May 15, 2021 was 30.371” — the value 36.987 appears to be a different benchmark; to be treated with caution.
