R-score Distribution of Recent Marianopolis Graduates

In recent years, student performance in college has been measured not only by the traditional transcript of percentage grades, but also through a new measure called the R-score (CRC, or cote de rendement au collégial ). The R-score is used by Quebec universities as a selection tool for entrance into most university programs, while grade averages are used as an admission criterion by universities outside Quebec.

Most university programs in Quebec require an R-score ranging from 22 to 28. The chart below provides the R-score distribution for recent Marianopolis graduates. It shows a high proportion of very strong records that result in high admission rates to first-choice universities and programs.

At Marianopolis

9% of graduates had R-scores of 34 or higher

39% of graduates had R-scores of 30 or higher

59% of graduates had R-scores of 28 or higher

91% of graduates had R-scores of 24 or higher

 

 

Marianopolis Graduates Meet University R-score Cut-offs

In recent years, the R-score (CRC, or cote de rendement au collégial ) has been used as an admission criterion by Quebec universities: each university sets a minimum R-score
requirement for entry into a specific program. A few examples are shown below for recent graduates. (The stated R-score requirements for listed universities are as current as possible, but are subject to change.)

A. Examples for regular programs (B.Sc., B. Engineering, B.Com, B.A.).

For Science

McGill's B.Sc. program requires an R-score of 27.
80% of Marianopolis Science graduates qualified.

Université de Montréal required an R-score of 25.
94% of Marianopolis Science graduates qualified.

Concordia requires an R-score of 20 for a B.Sc., and 28 for an Honours B.Sc.
100% of Marianopolis Science graduates qualified for the 20,
and 73% qualified for the 28.


For Engineering

McGill requires an R-score of 26.
88% of Marianopolis Science graduates qualified.

Concordia requires an R-score of either 22 or 24 (depending on program).
99.7% of Marianopolis Science graduates qualified for the 22 and
97% qualified for the 24.

The École Polytechnique requires an R-score of 26.
88% of Marianopolis Science graduates qualified.


For Commerce and Management

For a B.Com McGill requires an R-score of 27.8.
70% of Marianopolis graduates qualified.

For a B.Com Concordia require an R-score of 26.
85% of Marianopolis graduates qualified.

For Bacc. (Lettres) the Université de Montréal requires an R-score of 20 to 24 (depending on program).
99.8% of Marianopolis graduates qualified for 20 and 90% qualified for 24 .

For a B.A. Concordia requires a D.E.C. and no minimum R-score.

 

B.  Examples for the highly selective programs (pre-Med, pre-Dentistry, Law).

For Pre-Medicine

The lowest R-score that recently qualified for an interview at McGill was 32.1.

In 2005-2007 the total number of entrants into the McGill MedP program from the 5 Montreal Area English colleges was:
Marianopolis:    71    (30% of 240 available places for the 3 years)
All the other English colleges combined:   56 (23% of 240 places)

For Pre-Dentistry

McGill requires an R-score of 32.0.

In 2005-2007 Marianopolis graduates took 17 (57%) out of the 30 three-year total available places at McGil.

For Law

McGill requires an R-score of 31.5
Université de Montréal requires an R-score of 29.5

In 2005-2006 Marianopolis graduates took 12 (24%) out of the two-year total of 50 available places at McGill.
