<p>I gather that Mcgill's impressive academic reputation stems from the sciences, however, I know next to nothing about the English Department. I fell in love with Montreal this summer while on vacation, and I am interested in applying for transfer as a Soph. next year. My interests are rooted in both writing (fiction) and film (more so production then theory). From the little research I performed, I understand that Mcgill does not offer any film and/or video production major. But, I would be willing to fill my thirst for film with summer courses and other programs of the sort.</p>
<p>After undergrad. school, I currently plan on applying to graduate film schools. Obviously that might change in the future, so, I figure an undergraduate degree from an "ivy-caliber" university would indeed be a worthwhile acquisition. </p>
<p>How competitive are the students within the English department? Also, does Mcgill's infamous grade deflation impact English students as much as med. students?</p>
<p>The only other school of interest in Mcgill is Concordia. They offer a decent film production program, but obviously the university as a whole is leagues below Mcgill. With that in mind, what opinions or experiences have you had with Concordia students and the university itself?</p>
<p>Finally, since I would be a transfer student, what are the admissions statistics? Do you suggest applying after my freshman year at another university, or waiting until after sophomore year?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance to any replies.</p>
