<p>I'm American, and I just started looking into McGill, considering its low cost. However, all of the undergrad programs require precalc, but I skipped precalc entirely and went into AP calc (I got an A in the class and a 5 on the BC exam). Will I even be considered for admission?</p>
<p>Also, what kind of visa do most Americans choose to get when they study at McGill? I should probably look into this by myself, but I just want to have an idea…</p>
<p>There really is no choice of visa, it is 2 Study Permits:

For Americans, it is basically a lot of paperwork unless you appear on an international list of terrorists! Americans now need a valid passport too, even as a tourist.</p>
<p>As for the precalc question, I imagine that since you took calc BC, you will have met that requirement. Never hurts to email admissions though.</p>
<p>Thank you! And I’ll email admissions on Jan 3.</p>
<p>Corvids, same situation here re the precalc. If you wouldnt mind posting what you find out through admissions, would appreciate it! I am hoping that an A in Calc AB and a 5 on the AP (same as you) would more than meet the requirement!</p>
