<p>OK. Lucky for you (and me BTW.), McGill does not take into account Freshman year HS grades (nor extracurricular activities). They also take special consideration to HS grades that are related to your major.</p>

<p>Your ACT and SAT Scores are great!
You definitely have a great chance of getting in.</p>
