<p>I have applied to the School of Arts. I am an American student with a 29 on the ACT and a 3.8ish GPA and I go to a private school. I pretty much just applied if that matters. I hear admissions is somewhat on a first come first serve basis but I don't really know if that is true. Also any comments about McGill you have are greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Admission is NOT on a first come first served basis. Applications are not reviewed until after the deadline. </p>
<p>Does anyone know if you are just above the minimums will you most likely get in? </p>
<p>Using the chancing terminology here on CC, at McGill the distance between being a safety and out of reach is very narrow. If you are slightly above the minima across the board, it would make McGill a “match”. </p>
<p>By a “match” does that mean that there is a fairly good probability of acceptance?</p>
<p>Yes but not guaranteed. </p>
