<p>I'm a Chinese-American-Canadian applying to McGill.
I've seen so many people with great GPAs and SAT scores, and I was so excited and certian that I could possibly get in but now I don't know with all the great scores that I've seen!
And I know McGill doesn't look at ExtraCircs. which I have a lot of...over 3 pages!
Anyway, here's are my stats:
SATs: CR: 680, M: 650, W: 720
SAT IIs: Chinese w/ Listening: 750, US History 690, Math IC 620, Chemistry 540 (Don't really want to talk about it...)
GPA: 8.167/9 (not including Senior year) We have a scaled GPA because we take into account Honors/APs. Just divide by 2, so...4.084/4.5
1st term (not 1st semester)
AP Biology A-
AP Chinese A
Honors Spanish B
Math I A
English I A- (Next semester I'm taking Honors Philosophy as Literature)
Honors East Asian History A-
Rank: Our school doesn't rank but I'm in the top 10-15%</p>

<p>I know McGill has min. requirements, and I passed all my SAT requirements except for Chemistry. I applied for Arts and Science and I'm really nervous that they could reject me because I didn't pass the min. requirements for Chemistry.</p>

<p>Please let me know my chances! My college counselor said I had an 80% chance of getting in, but I got rejected ED from Cornell... and he said I had a 50% chance. McGill accepts about 50% of applicants right?</p>

<p>CC4: Unfortunately, the Chemistry score will not help you and A&S is about the hardest academic faculty to get admitted in. According to the McGill web site, there were 4732 applicants last year and 229 enrolled ( dont know how many accepted). Make sure you apply to another faculty as well as A&S, such as Arts (which is Liberal Arts, not Fine Arts) to increase your chances. You can apply to two separate faculties for the same price as one, and on the same application. The chemistry score will not hurt you on the Arts application.</p>

<p>I've already applied to McGill, I'm sorry if that was unclear. Whoops. I did actually apply to Arts and Sciences and then Science. Is there anyway for me to change my second choice?</p>

<p>I think you can - Log into Minerva (you should have a user name and password) and edit the application.</p>

<p>Hmm, I tried that earlier, once you log into Minerva and click on Update you Application, it brings to you the page where you apply to McGill, not edit, which is weird. I'll try it again.</p>

<p>I don't think there's any way for me to edit my application, but has anyone else been in this situation? I sent an email to the school...</p>
