<p>On my acceptane letter, it reads "Maintain ur current academic standard and obtain the IB diploma" I was accepted with a predicted score of 36/42 points.</p>
<p>Im worried that i might not be able to get the same score in my final exams, and then ill lose the offer</p>
<p>Can anyone clarify this?</p>
<p>Do not worry about not getting 36/42 for your final score. The only way they will rescind your offer to admission is if you manage some how to drop below 24 points and you don’t end up getting your IB dipoma. So unless your teachers are complete crap at predicting grades and or you manage to choke on all of your exams, thus resulting in a score of like 23/42, which won’t happen, then you have nothing to worry about aha.</p>
<p>How do I know? I am a former IB student and I was admitted to McGill, (didn’t end up going) I was predicted 40/45, (managed to only get 2/3 bonus points from TOK) I ended up with a 39/45, (I dropped from a 6 to a 5 in Chem HL,gahhh). Even if I had dropped to 30/45, as long as I got my IB diploma, they would not of rescinded my offer of admission. They just want your final IB results to make sure you earned your diploma. They say “maintain your academic standard” to scare you, what they really mean is "Don’t start ****ing around just because you got accepted, keep working hard.</p>
<p>PS:good luck on your IB exams, study hard!!! 
Hope I helped :D</p>
<p>THANK YOU, and wow man…what a grade…</p>
<p>but how can u be CERTAIN? U only dropped 1 point! (whihch is great btw)</p>
<p>i want to accept an offer from UWO (Richard Ivey School of Business) as they say that i should just maintain a 31-2, which is easy. Then make my final decision at July 7 when i get my results.</p>
<p>where did u end up going btw?</p>
<p>I ended up going to Dalhousie, because they gave me a massive scholarship. BIG MISTAKE, after doing IB my first year at Dal was honestly so boring…I end up always having so much free time and I didn’t know what to do with myself aha. I have an “A” average, we are actually writing our finals here now, my next final is on on Tuesday. I plan on transferring to McGill for next year, which is where I SHOULD have gone in the first place… At McGill, being in IB, I would have been obligated to do second year due to McGill putting all IB students in mandatory advanced placement which would have been better for me, but I would have preferred go to university for practically nothing than shell out 15k a year…</p>
<p>Also to answer your other question; my friend who currently attends McGill right now was admitted to McGill (Faculty of Arts) with a predicted 37/45, however, he dropped a point in almost all of his classes, and ended up with a 33/45 and still got in.</p>
<p>thanks a lot man, ur amazing.
yea u should be able to transfer to mcgill since u probly have a good GPA.</p>
<p>Also, im doing IB, but i dnt wnna go directly into 2nd year. I dont think ill be prepared for it (harder classes, harder to fit in etc…) </p>
<p>do i have to take the credits</p>
<p>and about ur friend- the arts cutoff is 33 points, so i dont see why she would get rejected anyway since her final grades are the same as the cutoff</p>
<p>Im also admitted pending final results but in the French baccaleaureate. I have the same question as sheheryar 
They would rescind the offer if I drop of how much points in the third semester?? Thank you.</p>
<p>@sheheryar93, the Arts cutoff was 33 points excluding bonus points, that is to say 33/42. He had 33 points including bonus points, he ended up doing very well in TOK, wrote an excellent extended essay and a phenomenal TOK paper and so he got all three points. Without TOK + EE, he only finished with 30/42 which was below the application minima, but he still got in. By the way, if you go to McGill and you did IB, it is MANDATORY, for you to go straight to second year, you have no choice. Don’t worry, don’t be scared, IB really prepares you for it, look at me, I opted not to go to McGill and did first year at Dalhousie and was bored out of my mind… Extremely board, it’s not a good feeling, doing first year is honestly a waste of time and money if you did IB, it’s like doing all of your HL classes all over again… As for transferring to McGill I hope I’ll be able to transfer, although I am very confident I will, my gpa is 4.14 on a 4.3 scale.</p>
<p>@makako, I did not do the French Baccalaureate, I did the International Baccalaureate, so I am not too familiar with it, however, I assume that if you obtained your French Bac just like the International Bac that you will still be admitted.</p>
<p>how did you submit your ib predicted grade to mcgill? I am applying for fall 2014 to the faculty of arts, and I have submitted my transcript but I dont know how to submit my IB predicted grade… PLEASE HELP ME!!!</p>

According to my IB program coordinator, you can only send your IB predicted grades in April, because that’s when your program coordinator sends them to the IB and that’s when your teachers predict your grade</p>
<p>I don’t think McGill (or any well known Canadian university that I can think of for that matter) gives unconditional acceptances. However the conditions are usually “Graduate” and “Don’t completely tank on your finals”. I wouldn’t say that the conditions are an empty threat, but in general these schools have made all their choices by the time they have handed out acceptance letters and after that point the applicant pool shrinks (eg. some people turn down their acceptance letters and the university starts drawing students off the wait list) as such the university is loath to turn away conditionally accepted applicants in spring time, since they don’t have the massive pool of applicant to choose from anymore at this time, and unless your show a significant level of regression, they wont kick you out, a drop of a couple points off your predicted score likely wont make a difference.</p>
<p>People do sometimes get their acceptances withdrawn but it is pretty uncommon. I would say that as long as you keep your IB score above the minimum requirements of the department you are accepted to ([International</a> Baccalaureate | Applying to Undergraduate Studies - McGill University](<a href=“http://www.mcgill.ca/applying/admissionsguide/standards/ib]International”>http://www.mcgill.ca/applying/admissionsguide/standards/ib)) you are guaranteed not to get your acceptance rescinded and to be honest you probably have a little wiggle room below the standards too.</p>
<p>The conditions on the acceptance are pretty much just there as an out for McGill to turn away a student who completely tanks their finals and thus probably isn’t ready for university. So the moral of the story is keep studying and don’t just coast now that you have your letter, but also that you are already through the hard part (ie. the competition for spots in the incoming class) and the spot is essentially yours too lose- ie. for you to get rejected now you have to prove that you DONT belong at McGill, as it is no longer a competition with anyone else.</p>
<p>thank you to both of you!! :))</p>
