<p>I really like McGill and would be very happy if that's where I end up, but I would still like to use it as a safety and was wondering if I would have any problem in being admitted into the faculty of arts.</p>
<p>GPA: 4.0 uw
SAT: cr 690, m 690, w 700 = 2080
ACT: 30</p>
<p>I'll have 7 APs by the time I graduate.</p>
<p>While I'd say you're definately a strong candidate, you'd need to raise your SAT by at least 100 before I'd say it's a 'safety'.</p>
<p>Agreed with meshuggener.</p>
<p>You'll get in, but I don't know if it would qualify as a safety.</p>
<p>Dude, oh wait gal, stop worrying too much. are you asian? cus you better stop. I got into mcgill</p>
<p>gpa 3.1
sat cr650 math 690 w 650
1 AP got a D- 4th quarter. </p>
<p>So, uh,... I think you can get in. Don't look into the stats too much, you keep talking numbers and this and that score, Imma gonna slap you.</p>
<p>^You just gave me hope.</p>
<p>U kidding me mike??... How you manage to get in with that sort of grades? </p>
<p>My friend got rejected with a 2300. gpa 3.8</p>
<p>^Probably a different (and harder) faculty. McGill's admissions are a little wacky, but it's not super hard to get into.</p>
<p>1mike12 > what major did you apply for?</p>
<p>Anybody can get into McGill...it's getting out that's hard. In Quebec, for example, they way you go to McGill is by saying that your going to McGill.</p>
<p>It's a little tougher for kids from the U.S., but not really.</p>
<p>Oh, faculty of science and engineering. Got into both, but they told me since I procrastinated so much and handed in the sheet late, that their was no more space in scinece, so then I just decided to go with engineering. </p>
<p>Building stuff and desiging things seems cool.</p>
<p>Naff> </p>
<p>your friend was probrably a hardcore asian girl 50AP student, or a wannabe. I had other things aside from school that I included into the application, not as some kind of extracurricular that you could tell I took just so I could state it; I was really involved outside of school. </p>
<p>I'm telling ya people, don't get flustered with the grades so much that you forget to make yourself presentable as a human being with other interests other than tests, scores etc.</p>
<p>wutang, c'mon, you really have to have no life to be spilling out random faulty information on this forum. I mean, just because you type a couple of "funny" remarks here and there isn't going to make that rejection letter magically disappear.</p>
<p>are you for real mike?
I think just about everything you have said so far on this forum has been either completely useless, completely mocking, or completely wrong.
But the funny thing is that you seem convinced that you are completely right.</p>
<p>Um do you want my student number? I currently live at 900 Sherbrooke, across from the McGill gates. My micro-econ professor last year was Paul Dickinson, my stats proffesor was Kenneth Mackensie, etc.</p>
<p>Clearly, I go to McGill. I'll be done in a little over a year.
BTW, I would never transfer. Montreal is the best city in North America, and I love all the hot girls here. I just like screwing with these super neurotic, over-achievers on CC that insist on using McGill as a safety. Nobody here cares about academics that much. Frosh week starts on Wednesday!</p>
<p>Actually, McGill really only looks at grades/GPA and SAT scores. I'm pretty sure they don't care about ECs or any other things you've done outside of class...</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure it does carry some weight at least. </p>
<p>You might even get the entrance scholarship.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure that if it was only grades, that I wouldn't have gotten into mcgill at all, or queens, or utoronto. You've seen my post, I'm not lying when I posted my scores, and although it shocks people, I'm doing it because it's the truth. If they don't look at outside scores at all, then I guess it was just devine intervention.</p>
<p>for the last time: they absolutely do NOT care about about EC's unless you are applying for a major scholarship. </p>
<p>In fact, look at the application. Where is there room to list your EC's?</p>
<p>"I'm pretty sure it does carry some weight at least."
you cant even list them on ur application. they do not care.</p>
<p>"devine"
it is Divine.
And no your ECs did not help. UT and McGill DON'T look at ECs.
I dunno bout Queens though.</p>
