Please note:  Admission to Medical Sciences First Entry is not admission to the Bachelor of Medical Sciences (BMSc) Program - students apply for admission to the BMSc Program when they enter Year 3.  Students admitted to Medical Sciences are assured admission to Year 3 of the BMSc Program as long as they satisfy certain conditions in Medical Sciences 1 and 2.  Other students can apply for admission to Year 3 of the BMSc Program but admission is not assured for students applying from the competitive pool.
