<p>i want to get into international relations and minor in art. i love montreal so im considering this school.
thanks guys!</p>
<p>it depends which school you are applying to. your gpa is pretty low, so you'll need good sat scores to make up for that. that being said, mcgill doesn't consider 9th grade, and they put a ton of weight on senior grades. btw, extra curriculars mean absolutely nothing to mcgill. the same can be said for recommendations (they might not take the time to read them).</p>
<p>Never thought I'd do this-
D cyberschools because of ballet schedule (giving this up as a sr). 3.85 average with honors, APs, college level courses. SATs 640 M, 800 V, 660 W (ridiculous! can't wait to see the essay). Would apply to Arts.</p>
<p>Bottom line about getting into McGill: don't even consider unless you have the MINIMUMs. That means at least the minimun GPA, and the minimum SATS. Don't bother with EC's and letters of rec, it's a straight up numbers game. Top 10%, good grades pertaining to your major especially, good SATs = Good shot.</p>
