<p>If the grades drop a lot like you said, is there a way to convince them to not rescind the offer of admission ??</p>
<p>man just study hard and you wont have any problems…thats what im gonna do</p>
<p>I’ll study but I want to know</p>
<p>Your worries are unfounded. Stop panicking and concentrate on your studies. This kind of anxiety will make you needlessly miserable in university.</p>
<p>I don’t worry I’m happy !! But I just want to know if It has already happened .</p>
<p>You’re more likely to be struck by lightning than to have McGill rescind their offer, how’s that?</p>
<p>hahhahaa thanks :)</p>
<p>Blobof, are u joking or are u serious?</p>
<p>Hi tomofboston, </p>
<p>I was wondering what there is to do around Mcgill and Montreal during free time you may have as a student, or on weekends. </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I am embellishing for lack of data, but unless you lied on your application, the chances of your grades dropping so low that McGill will rescind are so remote that worrying about it is equivalent to being worried about having a terrible accident every time you get out of the house. If McGill had doubts about you, they’d have rejected or waitlisted you in the first place. And they know based on actual data.</p>
<p>haha thanks… but the reason that I am asking is that i am doing a course called the International Baccalaureate, and we aplpy with our predicted grades. I was predicted with a 36/42 subject points (mcgill ask for 35) and mcgill is asking me to ‘maintain my academic standards and obtain the IB diploma’. I have final exams coming up soon, and if i dont maintain my grades in my final exams, then i think that i might have my offer rescinded. Also, canada dont have a system like england, where you can acept 2 offers with a backup choice, so if i dont get similar grades in the finals, im worried that i wont have a place to go to :(</p>
<p>So you make it seem that the offer is unconditional, but mcgills acceptance letter is making it seem conditional.
How are you so certain though?</p>
<p>^^ @asian123 </p>
<p>I am in the same position as you, i take the IB and the acceptance letter said for me to ‘maintain my academic standards and obtain the IB diploma’. I have read in some other threads and heard from some of my friends that as long as you obtain the IB Diploma you should be fine, and that they only say that so that you dont slack off. HOWEVER i am not certain about this and this question still worries me! </p>
<p>But keep up the hard work just in case and good luck with your IB exams! hope to see you there if you decide to go.</p>
<p>yea same! Ill still work as hard as i can, but i just have this small worry. </p>
<p>We should let each other know if we find any conclusive answer on the issue.
Whats ur major, and rez choice btw?</p>
<p>Im probably going to major in economics (arts), but im going to try for a joint honors in finance probably, as i also want to do something business related. but if not i think i can always take a minor in Desautels. And i havnt decided on a rez yet. How about you??</p>
<p>BCom - dont know my major yet</p>
<p>for rez :</p>
<p>1) New
2) C4
3) McConnell</p>
<p>Does anyone know whether McGill requires an original of the High School diploma ?</p>
<p>I don’t think that McGill requires a high school diploma at all. I think that they want a transcript (which includes a list of your courses with your grades and which indicates whether or not you have graduated from high school). </p>
<p>I think that they want a transcript that is authentic–so normally it should come directly from an authoritative source (i.e. a government source in the case of some jurisdictions or from the school in other cases). In most cases, McGill receives the transcripts electronically, so there isn’t “an original.” However, if you have graduated from a school which doesn’t submit electronically (or a school that McGill doesn’t accept transcripts electronically), then obviously some paper will be involved.</p>
<p>I am not aware of any colleges that accept copies of transcripts from students–forgery is far too easy–I’ve seen students do it–the only way that anyone could detect the forgery was from the false information.</p>
<p>great thread. I haven’t had a chance to read through all of yet, so I’m not sure whether this was asked or not. How much harder is it for American students vs. Canadian students? Also, how much weight does McGill put on legacy? My dad went there, and he is not extremely involved but he donates from time to time. I’ll be blunt, how much will being a legacy ‘up’ my chances of being accepted?</p>
<p>Thanks a ton!</p>
<p>Canadian schools don’t put any weight on legacy; they don’t even ask.</p>
