admission release dates

<p>So I was looking through the website to see when decisions are released, and according to <a href="http://www.mcgill.ca/applying/decision/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.mcgill.ca/applying/decision/&lt;/a> , US students like me can expect to hear anywhere between Jan 31 - March 31. Sorry if this is kind of a stupid question, but can we expect to hear pretty much any time in there, or will they release most on February 1, or some other time? I know that it used to say March 18th for US students there instead, and when I saw the new dates I was pretty excited that I might hear in as soon as three weeks. Does anyone have any idea about this?</p>

<p>i didn't receive my mcgill decision until the middle of april, the 17th or 18th. it was the last school i heard from.</p>

<p>well, I just got my decisions... so I guess it really CAN range from now until March.</p>

<p>congratulations winst!! Are you a US student? do you mind sharing an overview of your stats?</p>

<p>hi winst, did your "housing status" change as well? (mine did not ;) I know that such issues as housing are handled much later, but I'm just curious. It says "Residence admissions information appears 24 hours after admissions decisions appear".. </p>

<p>I guess that should change in the future, we're probably one of the first applicants to get their decision.. ;)</p>

<p>McGill is starting a rolling admissions policy for U.S. students this year.</p>

<p>too late to apply, correct?</p>

<p>Really? If you don't mind me asking, how did you find that out?</p>

<p>Move to “rolling admission” for US high school applicants to reduce turnaround time for many decisions</p>

<p>thanks for that link gexxman, sounds like McGill is making overall changes that will put it more in line with practices of US schools</p>
