<p>Hello all, I'm sorry for another one of these posts but my counselor couldn't offer me any information about McGill, other than what I've read on the internet/McGill website.</p>
<p>Weighted GPA: 3.7/4.0
Class Rank: top 50%, Class Size: 1300
ACT: 30
I will be taking the following AP tests: Art History, American Government, Psychology, and French. I have taken numerous Honors and AP classes.</p>
<p>I will apply for the Arts program!</p>
<p>My first two years of high school were horrendous as I was in an abusive relationship (physically and verbally abusive), suffered from severe depression and self mutiliation, and my parents are going through an extremely messy divorce. If I were to send a letter explaining my situation to the admissions office also containing a letter from my social worker would that be taken into consideration?</p>
<p>besides the class rank, which is surprising considering your gpa, you seem fine. unfortunately, i don’t think mcgill takes anything into account other than grades and scores. sorry 
but you look like you have a decent shot!</p>
<p>Good news and bad news.
Your unweighted GPA is more important than your weighted GPA.
But, here’s very good news for you: grade 9 marks aren’t considered.</p>
<p>noahtavlin: thanks for your input, and at my school the highest gpa is a 4.8 and you have to have over a 4.0 to be in the top 30%… very frustrating :/</p>
<p>sebcartwright: unfortunately my unweighted gpa isn’t that great but thank you anyway, and the fact that my grade 9 scores won’t be considered is a huge relief, thank you!</p>
<p>for arts you generally need an average of around an 86 or 88 depends on the year. That’s how Canadian high schools do averages. </p>
<p>I’m American got in, with around a 3.7 unweighted GPA and a 28 on my ACT so good luck</p>
