<p>i dont think it is a good match, simply because you really probably know close to nothing about McGill.
There is no essay!
Unless u are applying for a scholarships(which are VERY uncommon for internationals)</p>

<p>And they do not look at extracurricular activity either</p>

<p>But other than that, grades look great</p>
