<p>I accepted both offers and paid the deposits..... i plan to make my final decision when i get my final IB grades on July 6</p>
<p>Mcgill is my first choice and Queens is my backup...... i dont think i did to well on my final IB exams, so i accepted both offers.</p>
<p>McGill - want around 32 points in the finals</p>
<p>Queens - Want 30 points</p>
<p>Is it okay if i accept 2 offers, and reject one later?
Has anyone else done this?</p>
<p>If your looking to do anything business related, definitely go to Queens… Queens Commerce is defined better than McGill Management.</p>
<p>yea, ok, but im asking whether or not i can accept 2 offers, and make a final choice around the 6th of July. </p>
<p>you are right i guess, but ill give it some thought soon</p>
<p>I’m not sure I understand your problem. How will your IB grades affect the acceptances if you’ve already been accepted? In any case, it isn’t a good idea to firmly accept two offers.</p>
<p>why not?</p>
<p>And i was refffering to the ib points that ill need on my final exams to KEEP my offer</p>
<p>Other than the ethical considerations, it’s likely that if either school finds out that you’ve accepted another offer, their offer will be rescinded.</p>
<p>im sorry ur wrong, i called mcgill, and they said that they will not be notified of any other acceptances</p>
<p>I never said that they’d be notified. I said that if either school finds out, the offers will likely be rescinded. In any case, it’s unethical to firmly accept two offers of admission.</p>
<p>please explain how its unethical…</p>
<p>someone from the waiting list will get my spot</p>
<p>You are making a commitment to attend to two different universities. You clearly cannot keep both of those commitments. If you don’t see how that is unethical, then I don’t know what to tell you. This is why, in Ontario, when you make a firm acceptance of an offer, all others are automatically cancelled. There’s a reason that schools do not want applicants to lie to them about attending.</p>
<p>let me make this clear…im accepting ONE from Ontario, and ONE from McGill in montreal… whats the problem!!! When i reject one of them, then someone from the waiting list will get my spot</p>
<p>From the College Board site (the SAT administrators):
[Application</a> Ethics](<a href=“http://professionals.collegeboard.com/guidance/applications/ethics]Application”>College Application Ethics – Counselors | College Board)</p>
<p>“Why is double depositing unethical?”</p>
<p>…"It’s deceitful. From the New York Times article: “‘It’s fundamentally dishonest to say to more than one college that that’s where you’re going to be in the fall,’ said Dan Rosenfield, dean of enrollment management at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, ‘and it’s not a victimless crime.’”</p>
<p>It’s unfair to the college. If the practice continues, colleges will become frustrated when they find they can’t predict the size of the incoming class with any accuracy, and may take actions such as enlarging the waiting list or increasing deposit amounts (both of which will impact future applicants).</p>
<p>It’s unfair to other applicants. The double depositor is taking up a spot that could go to another student, who will instead be wait-listed or turned down.
What should you do?</p>
<pre><code>Tell students not to submit deposits to more than one college, unless they are wait-listed at their first choice and accepted at another.
Consider instituting a policy of sending each student’s final transcript to only one college.
Warn students that some colleges reserve the right to rescind an offer of admission if they discover that a student has made a double deposit."

<p>I am well aware that it is one from Ontario and one from Quebec. I’ve lived most of my adult life in Canada and am very familiar with its universities. I’ve explained to you what the problem is. I’m not convinced that you are quite as dense as you are coming off here. If you are so confident that it is not a problem, then call Queens and McGill and ask their Admissions offices what they think of this. Would you like to be the student on the waitlist who doesn’t hear until July simply because you have chosen to go the unethical route? Probably not. Read Row’s excellent post on the matter.</p>
<p>Queen’s? Is that the small virtually unknown school in Kingston?</p>
<p>let ME tell you why it’s not cool to accept both offers. I’m in IB too, so I know your situation. We get our IB marks on July 6th, right? But the waitlisted people will receive their offers by June 15th. In other words, the last day for waitlisted people to be accepted is June 15th. So in essence, HOW is that fair if you weren’t going to go to queen’s in the first place but you’re hogging another spot?</p>
<p>^ but Queens is my backup. They only want 30 subject points, and McGill wants me to maintain my grades (36 subject points)</p>
<p>wait so you only applied with your IB marks? what about your ontario marks? or whatever province you’re from. Because for queen’s commerce, you have to get at least 80 in your maths and english (level 5). and if you don’t, you can just retake it in summer school (i already asked them).</p>
<p>As for mcgill, are you going for lifesci/biomed and all that? well regardless, it’s kind of bad that you’re hogging a spot at mcgill AND queens… =/</p>
<p>usually i know that universities would take either your ib mark or your ontario (or whatever region) marks, whichever works to your benefit.</p>
<p>im ONLY applying with my IB grades (im and international student)</p>
<p>If you looked at the title, it says McGill MANAGEMENT.</p>
