Can the Major Entrance Scholarship award increase?

Colleges and Universities A-Z McGill University

<p>Hi guys,</p>

<p>I received the Major Renewable Undergraduate Entrance Scholarship from McGill this year. According to the website, the award can be renewed for 3 years if I maintain a 3.7 GPA. </p>

<p>However, I was wondering if the actual award amount can be increased in subsequent years. Say I obtain a very good gpa at the university, is there a chance the scholarship office might increase the award from $3000 to $5000 or $10,000? </p>

<p>Also, how hard is it to maintain a >3.7 GPA at McGill? I'm a reasonably smart guy ;) I scored 1480/1600 in my SAT and 800 and 790 in Math II and Physics. I've always stood 1st or 2nd in my class (of 67 students) in India.</p>

<p>1). It will not increase. It’s going to stay the same. If you want anything else you need to qualify for in-course scholarships based ur CGPA etc. This is much harder to get than an entrance scholarship/award.</p>

<p>2). You’re SAT scores mean nothing when it comes to predicting how you’ll do. There have been people here with a near perfect SAT who ended up doing quite poorly. </p>

<p>3). A GPA of >3.7 is doable, depending on your major/courses etc. Though, not easy by any means.</p>
