They don't really care too much about the MCAT, they just flag you if you're below 9 or N in any section. They like they're gpa but if you've taken a full courseload they'll let you drop a few bad courses. The average gpa for their medclass this year was 3.90 (realize this is weighted but omsas gpa - A=3.9). They also love research, if you've done grad work/publications its better. Basically hope you have a lot of A+'s. Check out their admissions site for specifics ...

Arguably the best medical school in Canada, although many argue in favor of McGill. The class size is rather large (224 students) but the facilities are incredible and the hospitals are (IMO) the best in the country.

Stats from last year (medians):
GPA: 3.90
MCAT: 10 VR, 11 PS, 12 BS, Q (but as said earlier, MCAT is only used as a flag and not as part of the evaluation).

There is a Canadian section on SDN where you would probably get more feedback.
