<p>I have given all of my info already on this thread, but I will repeat it again. I got a 36 on math, 25 on writing, 23 reading, and 24 science. That is my best ACT.</p>
<p>You almost definately will not get into McGill. The minimum requirement for ACTs is 26-28, depending on which college. So you either just barely make that or you don't make it. Either way, that puts you in a terrible position. They also have grade requirements, which you may not meet. They make decisions almost completely on scores and grades, and there is very little chance that you would get in (sorry). Canadian universities work differently. </p>
<p>Anyway, I visited McGill and agree with the previous poster that you probably don't want to go there. I also do not think it's as good as the colleges with the top 10 math programs that you listed. Although, it is good, just not as good.</p>
<p>Why should I not go there. And second, does minimum mean what you need to be considered as an applicant, or minimum score to be accepted.</p>
<p>Minimum: The smallest value in a data set, so in this context its basically the smallest amount of classes that you need to have taken to even be considered.</p>
<p>(I would think that as an "advanced" math student you'd know pretty well what minimum means)</p>
<p>P.S. I'm in Calc. as a junior too. I don't think its that special and I'm definitely not depending on it as my "hook" for colleges.</p>
<p>numberone, honestly, you should not be asking this question. If you have a passion for math, you should sign up for the sake of fulfilling your passions NOT to impress colleges.</p>
<p>I'm not a fool. I know what minimum means. But does minimum mean that you need that score to be considered even to be accepted, or you need that score to accepted. Because, you can have the minimum and get rejected. Do you still not understand what I am asking. Just think about it. Minimum for accepted students, or minimum to be even considered. That is my question. And also, there is more to it then just calc, there is 4th place in state in math contest, high sophomore amc score, calc 3, linear algebra and differential equations, 800 math 2c. There will be more. I can keep updating as time goes on.</p>
<p>Basically the consensus is to improve your verbal and you should be fine.</p>
<p>And try to seek out any other math opportunities. I know I keep saying to do research, but seriously contact MANY professors in your area and see if they would be willing to partake in a project.</p>
<p>H + MIT reject some amazing math people anyway, so it is hard to gauge your chances. I mean H rejected an IMO and IOI medalist....</p>
<p>If you have below the minimum, you will not be considered. If you have above the minimum, you will be considered, but may or may not be accepted. Looking at my school's Naviance graph for Mcgill, no one was admitted with anywhere near the minimum.</p>
<p>what do you think I need for the act, a 29 or better? Could you give me some advice please.</p>
<p>Go to collegeboard and get a brief estimate. Although they aren't up-to-date, they give a rough standard.</p>
<p>They don't help you at all. Collegeboard website is not helpful. I need advice from people on CC.</p>
<p>Well, you have six pages of advice from CCers on this forum!</p>
<p>I will have taken Cal AB, Cal BC, Multivariable Cal, and Linear Algebra when I apply for college. My brother is in 11th grade and he is taking Applied Partial-differential equations now.</p>
<p>Good luck with your college apps.!</p>
<p>To be honest, it seems as if you're intent of creating this thread thing was to be pretentious and show off.</p>
<p>if I wanted to brag, I would say I was more advanced than that. I do not intend on bragging. I am not like anyone else on cc. Math is the only thing that can save me at this point. I want to know if I am advanced and if my math skills can get me anywhere. Is that too hard to understand.</p>
<p>If you can do what Michael Viscardi did, then you're advanced in math.</p>
<p>I second that.</p>
<p>haha interesting you bring him up, Michael just sent me the nicest e-mail...</p>
<p>Who is Michael Viscardi?</p>
<p>The Second Coming.</p>

<p>On average, yes. Compared to some very hard-core people I know, no. But you should definitely take those courses, because math is cool.</p>
