<p>Thanks for your help</p>

<p>Unweighted GPA is always more important than weighted GPA.
Also, McGill doesn’t have communications, just so you know.</p>

<p>I’m a Canadian studying at McGill so I’m not exactly sure how competitive it is for Americans, but I think you should be fine. Your SAT is def good enough.</p>

<p>I’m an American student at McGill and my SAT score was about the same as yours. Unweighted gpa is more important, but if your weighted gpa is that high, then I’m sure your unweighted gpa is pretty darn good. Extracurriculars literally don’t matter. They don’t give you a place to put them on the application (unless you apply for a major scholarship). I’d be surprised if you didn’t get in.</p>
