<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I am almost done applying to McGill and am wondering what my chances would be to get in. I take the ACT and on the McGill application, when putting down standardized test information, it seemed like I could "superscore" each individual score frome each section from my ACT tests. Was it really superscoring when you could select english, math, reading or science from the tab, or something else? And does it work well if I only record the sections I did best in from any of my three ACT tests?</p>
<p>Another thing about ACTs: I am applying to McGill's BSc Biology, Biomed & Life Science program, and the score for my science sections were 27 and below. Does that look bad if I am applying to a science program and my science score was low? I am a very good science student and have taken chemistry, biology, physics, and anatomy and physiology throughout high school and have gotten A's in the class. </p>
<p>On the McGill website, they tell you the minimum in each section on the ACT and the ACT composite that is expected. I have met each minimum in each section, but not as a whole (all other scores are high except for science in two of the three tests). Out of everything I am worried most about my ACT scores being the reason I won't be accepted to McGill, since they only see transcripts and scores. These are all my ACT scores:</p>
<p>April ACT: English 27, Math 24, Reading 22, Science 27, English/Writing 28, Composite 25
October ACT: English 29, Math 26, Reading 27, Science 24, English/Writing 29, Composite 27
December ACT: English 32, Math 26, Reading 27, Science 24, English/Writing 30, Composite 27</p>
<p>Also, I am of First Nation Native American decent, and I can put that on my McGill application. I would like to know in what way this impacts individuals reviewing my application. Is it a very good thing to be or will it not sway the decision much? My college counsellor (in America) tells me that it is a very good thing to be able to say here in America, but I would like to know if it is the same in Canada. I am a Canadian citizen as well, if that changes anything, but I am in an American secondary school. </p>
<p>Lastly, I am a strong student, I work hard, and I get good grades. I believe my GPA is about a 3.8 or 3.9 unweighted and 4.2 weighted. I go to a small private college prep school and I have only two AP classes that I could have possibly put in my schedule this year (AP Calculus AB and AP Psychology). There are less than 50 kids in my class so saying that I am in a certain percentile or "top of my class" would be hard to say as many other students in my class are academically skilled. I worry that the lack of AP's my school has to offer and the percentile I may be in in my class will damage my chances. </p>
<p>Anyways, sorry for writing so much. It will be so nice to hear other people's opinions. </p>
<p>Thank you :)</p>
