<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I. Could you please estimate my chances of getting in?</p>

<p>1) International student from Europe studying in the IB with predicted grades 44.</p>

<p>2) SAT I: 2000 (620CR, 680WR, 700M)</p>

<p>3) SAT II: Maths Level 2: 760, Physics 790, French 800.</p>

<p>I'm not listing any ECs as they apparently cannot be stated on the application.</p>

<p>II. Now come the questions :D</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Are teacher references needed and, if yes, when do I send them?</p></li>
<li><p>Is it true that students with French citizenship have the same tuition fees as Canadians?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>3.I wish to study Economics but I am also interested in something related to science. What would be the right combination? I thought the Interfaculty fitted ideally but there are apparently only 3 programs there of which none suits me. On the faculty of science website, there is a page stating I could obtain a Bsc in science with a major concentration in Economics from the faculty of arts. However, I did not find any info on the faculty of arts website stating I could take a major concentration from the faculty of Science.(Since Economics is to be taken from the faculty of arts, not science) By the way, I wonder why I cannot just simply apply to the department of economics...</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Can I freely make my own subject combinations? For instance to take one course from desautels and another one from the faculty of science? What is more appreciated: a BA Eco from the faculty of arts or maybe a Bsc from desautels?</p></li>
<li><p>Could you make a distinction between minors, majors, honours, concentrations etc?
Which of these are complusory and which optional?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Well, you have certainly noticed I am not perfectly familiar with the system at McGill so I would be grateful for at least an answer to one of the questions!</p>

<p>1) If you come with a 44/45 on the IB, then the SAT will not be considered. Plus with 44/45 you’re pretty much in, even in BiomedE.</p>

<p>2) Teacher references are not needed for undergraduate admissions, but for graduate admissions, yes.</p>

3

<p>reference letters and EC’s are only needed if you are applying to a major scholarship.
if you want the scholarship, once you apply online to your program, you will be provided with all the information on reference letters and etc.</p>

<p>hey im a current mcgill student. its a coincidence to come here. and since im stuck on my assignment now so here you go for your questions: (all answer from my previous experiences)
1 no
2 im not so sure in mcgill, but as i know for concordia university which only 2 metro stations from mcgill, yes. so i think its kinda a quebec gov policy
3 yes (my major is econ btw)
4 i dont think so. they will tell you which majors you can choose from science as an arts student
5 lol you will get it when you come here.</p>
