<p>Hey guys...</p>

<p>So I've read a few things on different places concerning what McGill requires or doesn't require concerning standardized tests from US applicants. In one place I read that you need to submit both ACT, SAT, and SAT Subject Tests, but in another place I read that it's ACT <em>or</em> SAT and SAT Subject tests. I haven't taken the ACTs, but on my highest SAT I got a 760 in Critical Reading, 670 in Math, and 770 in Writing, and on subject tests I have a 760 for Literature and 710 for US History. Is this good enough or do I also need to take the ACTs?</p>

<p>Also, anyone know if they take do the super score? Because if so then my score goes from a 2200 to a 2270...</p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>This is good enough regardless of the major. If you want to know where you stand here are two pieces of information we need to gauge you:</p>

<ol>
<li>Unweighted GPA, grades 10-12</li>
<li>Intended major</li>
</ol>

<p>Thanks Catria!</p>

<p>My unweighted GPA is something like a 3.8 and for my major I’m still trying to pick between Elementary Education and English Lang/Lit.</p>

<p>Here is the definitive list of mark and score requirements for each department, posted by McGill:</p>

<p>You need the ACT OR SATs</p>

<p>Education is one of the easiest departments to get into at McGill, they want: </p>

<p>B+ average in grades 10,
11 and 12; B+ in each
prerequisite math and science;
SATs/ACT per minimum requirements (CR: 620, M: 560, W: 610) (ACT composite: 26, all subscores above 24)</p>

<p>Arts (for English Lit) is also a fairly easy faculty to get into but they want slightly higher test scores:</p>

<p>B/B+ average in grades 10,
11 and 12; B/B+ in each
English; each SAT I and II
620 (SATI Math 600) or ACT 28</p>

<p>You easily have the grades for either of these faculties</p>

<p>McGill Arts/education: Safety</p>

<p>If you want to do elementary education, pay attention to what you need to do after gaining a teaching credential in Quebec if you intend to return home to teach elementary school. Additionally, if you want to gain a teaching credential in Quebec (going to McGill for elementary ed amounts to getting a teaching credential) you will have to spend five years at McGill rather than four if you went there for English lit.</p>

<p>I can tell you this much: your job opportunities teaching at an elementary school in Quebec will be severely curtailed if you do not take the TECF</p>
