<p>Does anyone know if appealing an admission decision at McGill is worth it? I thought I had a decent chance of getting in, but I didn't and wanted to know if appealing would simply be a waste of time or if I should consider it.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>my stats: 2110 sat, 670 and 740 sat II (chem and ushist), 5.8 w gpa, 3.9 uw, rank-24/856 top 3%</p>
<p>(i applied to arts and science and science)</p>
<p>I don't know about McGill, but with UC's, your appeal won't really work unless you have something new to present that wasn't on your application.</p>
<p>I appealed sciences and got in my senior year of hs! Sooooo bitter I didn't get to go after that, but it's def worth a shot!</p>
<p>thanks mcgilldad</p>
<p>ebolazaire- do you mind sharing with me how you went about the appeal process? what kind of updated information should I send?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I e-mailed the dean the reasons I thought I should be admitted, then sent in my science fair project paper that went to the International Science Fair and a letter of recommendation. Basically, for an appeal to work you need to send an impressive supplmeent to your application that's realted to the faculty you're applying for. Good luck!</p>
<p>I feel really bad for the OP. You are def. more qualified than 90% of the Quebecer students at McGill, but you got squeezed by the quota. Instead, next year some idiot who barely passed CEGEP will be on campus for me to laugh at.</p>
<p>Also, if you had gone to a French FB school you would have been admitted as long as you graduated. Same with if you did the IB at an international school. Like me, you went to a large public school in the US, where you have to work 20X as hard to get anywhere. I had similar stats and got in, but only after reapplying from a local commuter school.</p>
<p>If, as wutangfinancial suggests, the overall pool of students at McGill is weakened by in-province students, then why would it be so hard (as some suggest) for strong international students to do well even in a grade-deflated environment?</p>
<p>Who's to say the in-province students are faring as well? Not taking sides here, just playing the devil's advocate.</p>
<p>You have a point, meshuggener. That could have been mishegoss.</p>
<p>this doesn't really have to do with my initial question, but does anyone know if the admission decision is affected by how early the application is completed? is there a better chance of getting in if your app is completed earlier? i'm just curious as to how they make their decisions.</p>
<p>thanks</p>
