<p>BBbunny what were your statistics??</p>

23

<p>hi im new here…can anyone tell me if i cud get in Mcgill’s software engineering with my olevels and ielts score? im an international student by the way.</p>

<p>@abirakand‌ I’m afraid not. You have to complete the A-levels or an equivalent level of schooling (10+2 or 11+1) to be eligible to apply to McGill.</p>

25

<p>Just curious guys but an applicant submits ACT and subject test scores does Mcgill consider deeply both? Or just ACT</p>

26

<p>@purified‌ You may submit either the ACT or the SAT. In addition, some faculties require you to take the SAT Subject Tests in 2-3 subjects (look up McGill Entrance Requirements for your faculty).</p>

27

<p>If you are submitting ACTs, then you don’t need to send in SATIIs. Your grades are the first cut, and senior year really matters.</p>

28

<p>@Leyland‌ That is not true. As you can see in this admission requirements page (<a href=“http://www.mcgill.ca/applying/admissionsguide/standards/unitedstates”>http://www.mcgill.ca/applying/admissionsguide/standards/unitedstates&lt;/a&gt;), most faculties require SAT/ACT and the Subject Tests.</p>

29

<p>@upapilot‌ Not sure what you are referring to. It clearly says: U.S. high school applicants must provide strong standardized test scores in addition to their high school record. Either the SAT I plus two appropriate SAT II subject tests or the ACT can be provided. </p>

<p>Also McGill rep was at our HS last week and confirmed the requirements.</p>

30

<p>@Leyland‌ yes but many faculties list sat subject tests as compulsory prerequisites.</p>
