COMPETITIVE ENTRY

Admission to the Rural Pre-Medicine Program is
competitive. A student meeting all the admissions
requirements will be included in the pool of qualified
applicants, but only a limited number of such qualified
applicants will be admitted into the program. The
applicants will be ranked using a metric which
incorporates information about academic and personal
background gathered from the application package.

The Rural Pre-Medicine program uses a continuous
intake model. This means that outstanding individuals
who submit their applications before the final
deadline will be offered seats in the program early.
It is to your advantage to apply well before the final
deadline!

Applicants will be offered seats in the current intake
of the program according to their ranking. Written
offers will be made to the contact information

selkirk.ca/programs

provided by the applicant on their application, and
verified by admissions when the application package
is sent out to the applicant. A seat offer must be
accepted and payment of seat deposit must be made
by the offer-acceptance deadline or the offer will be
considered to be declined and the seat will be offered
to another student.

Once the program has been filled, a waitlist will
be created for the current intake. The waitlist will
also be populated according to qualified students’
rankings.

Any applicant who is not admitted or does not take a
seat in a given year must reapply if he or she wants
to be considered in a subsequent year.

ADVANCE CREDIT

Applicants with previous related work experience
or documented formal learning may be eligible for
advance credit. For more information contact the
