@Kx21234 McGill is a top 30 university, so it is difficult in the first place. Usually when schools say they have a requirement of some score, its a bare minimum.
(I’m not sure why international students would have an advantage, but meh.)
McGill has requirements; you don’t meet them. It’s simple. I know a student whose requirement was a Canadian 3.0 (for Concordia), he had 2.9, he didn’t get in. The requirement is a cut off. If you have below that, they won’t even consider you.
You can take the French test at any point - why don’t you do so and send the results - before March 1st preferably?
My assumption is that you want to study in English or in another language, in another culture. Hence applying to McGill. Applying for prestige is not a good idea, and comparing rankings of graduate programs when you’re applying for undergrad is not a good idea either since it’s meaningless. Applying to universities in your home country is a very good idea. As to whether AUB is better than Concordia, it’s for you to decide based on your own criteria and goals.
Your grade is very good. If you want to try Milwaukee School of Engineering. There ME major is listed 9th nationally.
