<p>I guess i'm too anxious, but the rumors out there say McGill are not too keen on transfers (especially ones from concordia :-S like me).
my annual GPA is 4.0 but i can't help worrying still :-/</p>
<p>and decision release is only on June.</p>
<p>any other transfers out there? transfers studying at mcgill? anyone else that has an idea?</p>
<p>I applied for transfer, as well as my girlfriend. She found out that she got in almost 2 months ago (29 ACT, 4.0 at University of Illinois, 4.8/5 HS GPA). My application says that it requires further review, and McGill admissions says that they cannot make a decision without my final university transcripts. First semester I had a 3.84, 33 ACT, and 4.8/5 HS GPA. I'm so anxious and tired of waiting!! I hope they don't run out of spots by the time I submit my final transcripts!</p>
<p>Yeah that's what i was worrying about too.
did they tell you that the decision will only be made in June?</p>
<p>they told me as soon as i sent in my final transcripts they would give me a decision</p>
<p>I am applying for transfer as well but I doubt my chances are very high for getting in. My first semester I had a gpa of 3.25 at Rutgers University (I hope they take into account that this was my first semester of college) and I am doing much better this semester so I'm hoping it'll kick up to at least a 3.5 for my first year gpa. I also have a 'Further Review Req'd' (they're waiting for my final transcript) which is making me EXTREMELY nervous. McGill has been my first choice since I was a child and I'm kicking myself for not accepting their offer last year. I'm sooooo nervous.</p>
<p>same here tellingonyou. first choice since childhood. how come you ended up refusing the offer? i'm so nervous myself. if they're waiting for the final transcript i guess i can stop checking minerva for at least till june or so. i had a good year in concordia (another uni here in montreal) but these constant rumors about the so called hostility between McGill and Concordia are making me even more nervous.
i guess i'll have to wait and see then... i think maybe the decision dates for transfers from the US and transfers from Canada is different.</p>
<p>I refused (a HUGE act of stupidity on my part) because my family wasn't comfortable of sending me so far away (and cold!) Montreal. I don't think you should worry so much. if they're going to consider stuff like that then I've probably already been rejected (since I rejected them first). At least you've got good grades to back you up. My grades sort of suck. College does not agree with me.</p>
<p>I'm so frustrated that I have to wait! I wonder why McGill is making only some transfers wait to find out decisions. Is it because we are on the cusp of admissions? Also, if I wait past May 1st to withdrawl from my university then I will be losing money because I have to put deposits down. What a pain in the butt!</p>
<p>haha yeah ldj i know what you mean. i loose the deposites too.
tellingonyou i'm sure you gonna love montreal. it's a very cool place. hmm you probably know that by now if you've ever been.
i grew up in israel but ever since i visited as a child i knew i was gonna comeback to live here. now the only thing missing to make this picture perfect is the admission decision - a positive one !
good luck everyone.</p>
<p>I feel our pain! I was just thinking about that since it is time in my school to register for fall courses and I don't want to foot a bill if i might be going somewhere else!</p>
<p>my dad actually went to McGill yael which is why i've loved it for so long (and the fact that i ADORE Montreal) Now if only McGill could see how much I wanted to be there!</p>
<p>oh i hear ya :-)</p>
<p>Telling on you: wow, same situation! stupid parents...now they realize they should've let me go and my grades suck too much probably to get in...(3.283 first semester, and chem's still killing me now, sigh)</p>
<p>wow ebola! That's like a rerun of my life. :) I hate that now that they are willing to let go of me there's a good possibility it won't happen. GRRRRR.....</p>
<p>hi guys, has anyone had some news?</p>
<p>nope...probably not til mid-end of June since UD doesn't finish til end of May, so they won't get my transcript. Meanwhile I'm spending every minute studying trying to get my grades up so I get in. Have you heard anything?</p>
<p>nothing here. same here about the studying thing ! i don't think i've done so much studying since... well ever !
good luck !</p>
<p>nope...still on tenterhooks</p>
<p>still waiting patiently...</p>
<p>hi all, I'm an overseas student applying for a one semester exchange with McGill during the 2006 Fall term. My status has been "Ready for Review" since 16th March... is it the same for you guys too?</p>
