Georgian highly competitive programs
Highly competitive programs, or oversubscribed programs, are programs of instruction for which the number of eligible applicants exceeds the number of applicants required to fill the program . Due to limited seats available in these programs, applicants will be ranked upon academic achievements compared to other applicants in that intake pool.
On this page, you will find a current list of Georgian’s highly competitive programs and the recommended minimum grade in the required course(s). The grade cutoff is generally higher than the minimum grades required and may change each year or intake. Meeting the recommended minimum requirement or the general admissions requirements does not guarantee an offer of admission.
