<p>I checked on the this link: Admissions</a> standards (US) how among the admission requirement for engineering I must have had taken at least one course in Chemistry. My problem is, I haven't, and I'm wondering if that directly denies my admission, no matter how I've done on the other standards.
I called McGill and asked the lady who picked up about this and she said that it will certainly deny my admission, but I'm scared to trust that phone service since they gave me different answers to the same questions I asked before and because they themselves seem dependent on the website to answer questions (I called and many times they said they were going to check the website times...)</p>

<p>I’m afraid that the lady was right. Not just McGill but any Canadian universities will deny your admission to engineering without a chemistry course. The best you can do is to take Chemistry SAT to show that your knowledge about the subject is good enough. Or just go to the science stream, then transfer to engineering later.</p>
<p>I asked and they tell me an SAT chem won’t be sufficient, and that I must take a course in chem somehow… I was wondering if anyone knows about a course in chemistry that one might take after graduating from high school and not yet having enrolled in college. If I could take a course like that and get credit, it would save me. (they don’t accept online courses)</p>
<p>Hopefully this will be applicable to you, but where I live I have access to taking summer college courses over at my community college. I later transfer those classes to whatever college I’m applying to (if they take it, that is). I’m not sure McGill would take my credits though (I’m in TX), but every college here will take it easy, and some out of state too, at least.</p>
