<p>shockprops,</p>
<p>It is my pleasure. Well I’ll answer your 2nd question first, you are 100% in. Without a doubt. With that said, I don’t think the 1st question is really substantive then. I am not actually sure about the rolling admission policy. There are conflicting views on this and the best bet would be to ask McGill if you are really curious. But you are gold anyways.</p>
<p>hey crepynator,</p>
<p>I do think the ACT with writing is necessary. Also, instead of collegeboard check the mcgill official website. I think with some faculties and departments they require additional tests such as SAT II subject tests.</p>
<p>Make sure you fulfill all the requirements for the program you are applying to.</p>
<p>hey econgrad, how much do u know about the IB diploma</p>
<p>my subjects are:</p>
<p>Higher Level (HL):</p>
<p>Chemistry - 6
History - 6
Economics - 7</p>
<p>Standard Level (SL):</p>
<p>English A1 - 5
French Ab Initio - 5
Maths Methods SL - 6</p>
<p>what are my chances with these scores.
thanks</p>
<p>Hey, I’m a junior in high school and would really like to pursue the medical field, perhaps internal medicine or infectious disease specialist. I wanted to know if you know anyone personally who is studying to be an MD. Would it be difficult to find a job in Canada? In the US? Thank you!</p>
<p>hey econgrad,</p>
<p>I don’t know any french. Will that be a problem if I decide to go to McGill?</p>
<p>No knowledge of French is necessary at McGill. It is an English-language university. The area around it is called the McGill bubble: everyone speaks English (although most people in the shops are bilingual). You will get by just fine in Montreal.</p>
<p>To add to violindad’s response, if you head west from McGill to the tip of the island, English is the dominant language. The only way a lack of French would be a problem is if you seek an off campus job. Any jobs dealing with the public would require a knowledge of French, even in the anglophone areas.</p>
<p>Hey econgrad, I don’t know if you will be able to help me, but here it is anyway:</p>
<p>My status changed to “Further Review Required.” I am really nervous about this.
It also says that they need my mid year/second quarter grades. I’m not worried about my midterm grades b/c I got straight A’s, but since “Further Review” is required, does that mean I am in trouble??? I thought I would be in with my many APs and solid GPA. Does it hurt that I haven’t taken any SAT subject tests?</p>
<p>i just spoke with my uni counselor, she said that they want my grades for the first semester of the new year (this is the attainment grades on my end of term report)</p>
<p>the grades are:</p>
<p>Maths SL: 6
French SL: 6
English A1 SL: 5</p>
<p>Chemistry HL: 5
Economics HL: 7
History HL: 6</p>
<p>overall w/out bonus points is 35, so its the same as my predicted grades. </p>
<p>i checked in their site and they said that the minimum for managment bcom is 35 points.</p>
<p>link–> [International</a> Baccalaureate Admission standards | Undergraduate Admissions - McGill University](<a href=“http://www.mcgill.ca/undergraduate-admissions/counsellors-and-advisors/other-countries/international-baccalaureate-admission-standards]International”>http://www.mcgill.ca/undergraduate-admissions/counsellors-and-advisors/other-countries/international-baccalaureate-admission-standards)</p>
<p>so will i still be fine for admision even though they wany my term grades as well?</p>
<p>Does anybody know how we’re supposed to send our first semester grades to McGill?</p>
<p>hey sheheryar93,</p>
<p>I am really not familiar with the IB system. However I do know that the highest score is a 7, so that is fairly good. And your best indicator would be to compare with the admitted people from prior years and their scores.</p>
<p>hey jascadorette,</p>
<p>I know a ton of people who want to be doctors. In fact, I would estimate that about 80% of all people in life science all want to be doctors. Medical school is competitive to get in, but if you do well in school you should be able to get in. McGill’s life science is better than all other departments.</p>
<p>mobbade,</p>
<p>Yes, no french is fine. But when you work, don’t work in Quebec.</p>
<p>hey abcdyesabcd,</p>
<p>Don’t worry about the “further review required” thing. Do make sure that you have completed your application, meaning if they specifically said you need to take 2 SAT II’s, make sure you do take them. Also, send in your midterm grades ASAP through your high school.</p>
<p>Don’t get too worried about the review thing, it is probably because they are overworked and behind schedules than anything.</p>
<p>hey Bluto707,</p>
<p>You would have to send in your grades through your high school. So mail it in a sealed envelope or fax it in. Your highschool should do all of these things, so just give your counselor McGill’s fax number or address.</p>
<p>thanks a lot econgrad, but i only have the admission minimums for 2010 only, which are 35 points. so im just on the borderline. Also, i checked the HS averages for the BCom program, and it goes like this:</p>
<p>2007- 90%
2008- 90%
2009- 91%
2010- 91%</p>
<p>so the minimum cutoffs rise each year. so i guess the IB minimum grades will rise as well.</p>
<p>mcgill’s website is impossible so i thought i might ask a current student for advice : ) do you know if american’s can transfer to mcgill? i’m currently a freshmen in college and would love to switch but i can’t find anything. p.s. i have a 3.5 college gpa. should i even bother applying? i know how competitive mcgill is…</p>
<p>Yes, Americans can definitely transfer to McGill. Sorry, I don’t know how high the bar is for transfers.</p>
<p>But, on the website it says that you can take either the SAT plus 2 SAT 2’s or the ACT. So, I sent in my ACT scores and my SAT 1 scores. Do you think that will be fine??</p>
<p>Do most professors make their course evaluations public? How helpful are the evaluations to picking classes taught by good professors? </p>
<p>Do you feel that McGill is full of mostly great professors and mostly smart, well rounded, students?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
