French student admitted pending final results at Desautels

<p>Hi everyone, sorry to bother as I'm sure these questions have probably been answered in the past but here it is:</p>

<p>1) I recently received an offer from McGill's Desautels faculty of management for a Bs of commerce and I couldn't be happier. I was just wondering how important were the conditions (This offer of admission remains valid provided you maintain your current level of academic achievement and obtain the French Baccalaureate Diploma in the "premier groupe".) concerning my official acceptance in the future ? Will I be refused if I am not able to have the results I had the last trimester ? And what to they mean by "premier groupe" ? </p>

<p>2) As a frenchman, who's lived his entire life in France with a second nationality, I should have to pay the tuition for French right ? The same as the qu</p>

<p>Hi, congratulations on the acceptance.</p>

<p>Conditions are conditions. If you don’t meet those conditions, the offer will be invalidated. Therefore, you need to maintain your academic standards. This, by way of logic, means do as well as your previous trimester. However, I am sure there is some sort of leeway if you do not do as well. The consensus is that you cannot do much worse than your current grades otherwise you are at severe risk. How much exactly is the leeway in terms of grades? Well no one knows except maybe McGill themselves. Either way, as long as your future grades are close to your current ones, you should be fine. And yes, they have the right to refuse you if you do not meet the required academic standards. </p>

<p>You’d pay the same tuition rate as Quebec residents which, in my opinion, is an extremely useless and detrimental policy. Studies have shown that more than 3/4 of French nationals leave Quebec once they finish their studies. Don’t worry, as long as you’re French, you pay the local rate. Even Canadians from other provinces have to pay twice as much as you do. Makes sense much? In no way am I trying to portray you in a negative light so don’t take it personally! I am against governmental policies not people :)</p>

<p>Welcome to Montreal and see you next semester at Desautels. I hope you like language politics. #pastagate haha</p>

<p>Thanks a lot for your answer (I actually forgot I posted on this forum, sorry for the delay). I’d never heard of the #pastagate incident and I find it quite funny actually. Anyway, people have told me so many great things about Montreal that I sincerely hope I’ll be able to come.</p>
