<p>hey essequamvideri17,</p>
<p>mcgill doesn’t superscore, but you are 100% in for sure so it doesn’t matter.</p>
<p>Like the folks above have said, mcgill is such a big school that you are going to find all sorts of people in it. But generally speaking, mcgill is a party school. There will be a lot of drinking and partying, a lot of bars. Resident life will revolve around it, especially the first few years. Later, the classes get harder and so people stay indoors more.</p>
<p>It is not sporty at all. Nobody cares about the sport teams. Not very artsy either. Some are very academic but usually in engineering. YES, montreal is very cultured in the sense it is very trendy in fashion. So, a lot of mcgill students do wear nice clothes. The people are very chill and relaxed.</p>
<p>I do enjoy my classes! I sometime actually sit in on classes i am not registered in and they are very interesting, and free too!</p>
<p>I do get sick of the snow. It stays on the ground most part of the year and it is very boring. You won’t do a lot of hiking unfortunately but there is mt royal park and you can see the observatory which is nice. You can always take a stroll around town, you’ll find lots of pleasant discoveries.</p>
<p>thank you very much for your answer. </p>
<p>what happens if I got another F on that exam ? how will that affect my gpa and show up on my transcript ? I emailed my professor, but he did not gave me an clear answer. </p>
<p>If I got an A, and got a B as a final, so the letter B will show right beside my F? </p>
<p>thanks again</p>
<p>Thanks to everyone for the responses. It confirms that Canadians (or people who are around Canadians a lot) are nice. :D</p>
<p>I’m happy to here that you think I am for sure in. I think I would have a really good shot if it were not for my Lit subject test.</p>
<p>hey econmajor,</p>
<p>If you get another F on that exam then you still can’t get credit, and your GPA would go down. Then you have to take the class again if you want to get credit.</p>
<p>Your A will show next to your F. The GPA calculation would have them have equal weighting.</p>
<p>Does McGill interview applicants?</p>
<p>No interviews required at McGill.</p>
<p>I’m curious as to the prevalence of jobs for students. My parents expect me to pay for all of my living expenses in addition to my tuition, so obviously I’m going to need to find a source of income, preferably on campus. Are there jobs available to students and, if so, how difficult are they to acquire? Also, what is the job market like off campus in the area? Is the fact that I possess only a tourist’s knowledge of french a dealbreaker?</p>
<p>Also, does anyone know how the admissions department takes special circumstances documentation into consideration? I have medical problems that have resulted in a GPA far lower than what I’m capable of. Were it not for my illness, I’d have a GPA more like a 3.8, and there is a pattern in my transcript that reflects this. I’m sending letters from my counselor, doctor and myself, but I’m not sure how much weight these documents would have in the admissions decision. Can anyone shed some light?</p>
<p>Dual citizen American/Canadian living in Washington state
3.45 GPA
5 APs, nearly everything else is honors
SAT 2130 740cr 660m 730w
SAT II Lit - 680
SAT II Math 1 (…yeah…) - 670
Didn’t take the ACT…</p>
<p>I’d be applying to the Faculty of Arts.</p>
<p>Thanks for the input!</p>
<p>Would it be easy to transfer from the Faculty of Education to the Faculty of Arts?</p>
<p>lumberjacks,</p>
<p>The job market is not really good. Your #1 priority should be applying for financial aid or bursary. Then, you can apply for student work. You would helping to sort books in the library or watch over a computer lab, and you get paid really good wages.</p>
<p>That should be your best bet. Otherwise, you can try to find work in the mcgill food services, they also pay quite well but the competition is quite intense and it is more labor intensive.</p>
<hr>
<p>On your application, there is a section called “extenuating circumstances”. This is where you can talk about special situations like the medical situation.</p>
<p>But honestly it shouldn’t matter at all for you because your stats are great despite your situation and you can get in for sure.</p>
<p>@lumberjacks: For Arts, your stats as they are would give you a good chance for acceptance. As for working off campus, without a good knowledge of French finding a job would be difficult. Virtually all jobs that require dealing with the public require you to be bilingual.</p>
<p>hey, essequamvideri17</p>
<p>Yes, i imagine it would be quite easy</p>
<p>Hey I was just wondering if you guys could help me out with some chances. I really want to go to McGill (it’s my first choice), but I’m extremely nervous about getting in. </p>
<p>GPA: 3.7 UW, 4.3 W
SAT: 670 CR, 650 M, 650 WR
I take all honors/AP classes
And I was really lazy and I regret not taking any SAT II’s</p>
<p>I wish McGill considered ECs and letters of rec!</p>
<p>Oh and I’m American haha. I feel like that bit of information is definitely necessary</p>
<p>And I applied to Faculty of Arts. I’m leaving so much information out!</p>
<p>hey Bluto707,</p>
<p>I think you are borderline here. But because you’re American you should get in!</p>
<p>Haha thank you. Hopefully you’re right!</p>
<p>Hi, I’m still a junior in high school but I’ve recently realized that I better get a move on with searching for colleges and I’m really interested in McGill 
</p>
<p>I don’t know what I want to do yet…(everybody on this form seemed like they knew exactly what field etc, they wanted to go into), but I am interested in a lot of random tidbits like: photography, European history, journalism, singing, marketing…etc. I like all of these and I would like to take a number of these different courses but is that possible?</p>
<p>Also, exactly how hard do you have to work at McGill…Currently, I’m in the IB program, and I go to a International School in Japan (I speak English and Japanese), and I do have a work ethic, assignments are handed in on time, etc…and my overall GPA is 3.6…I wouldnt say I’m a brain, but I also wouldn’t say I’m stupid…But I dont want to work more than I have to…I just get the assignment done and I’m done with it…but is this type of work ethic okay for McGill?? </p>
<p>Sorry for all the questions But it would be a huge help to hear a reply :)</p>
<p>hey econgrad, </p>
<p>on McGill’s website under “course requirements”, I found that " If the failed course is a complementary course required by your program, you may choose to replace it with another appropriate complementary course". </p>
<p>Doesn’t this mean that I can take other course and substitute that course to one that I have failed ???</p>
<p>I want to be a doctor. I want to study at Mcgill.
What are SPECIFIC courses I should take each year. What do you recommend/ what did you do?</p>
<p>Wait, because he is american he has a higher chance of getting in? I thought it was the opposite!?</p>
