Cycle-label warning
Current York ranges are planning evidence, not Fall 2027 guarantees
York's live selector currently publishes program averages for the present cycle. It also publishes prerequisites and offer-maintenance conditions. Competition and capacity can raise the actual admission level. The current February 3 Schulich and AMPD supplement deadline belongs to Fall 2026. It must not be relabelled as 2027.
