<p>Okay so it's almost time for me to apply, and if anyone can answer all my questions, I promise I'll hug you if I ever see you!!</p>
<p>I'm have a look at this link and I was hoping you could clear some things up: Admissions</a> standards (outside QC, ON) </p>
<p>1) When it says "Admission Minima", does it mean that it is the bare minimum needed to get into the program? For example, for Arts (B.A), it says: 86.8% overall; 80% in each English or French course in Top 5. Does this mean that you won't even be considered if your average is less than 86.8%, or you get less than 80% in English or French?</p>
<p>2) And why is it top 5 anyways? I've heard top 6 and top 4. Does it vary depending on University?</p>
<p>3) In the above example, would the 86.8% be the average of the top 5 courses, or all of the courses?</p>
<p>4) Do I send my marks with my application? If not, when do I, and how do I know it's the right time?</p>
<p>5) Even if I don't plan on using a course to calculate my top 5 average, do I still have to send it to you?</p>
<p>6) I am from BC and have 4 courses this semester. French= 80%; Math= 86%, Biology= 86%, Chemistry= 95%. I have English next semester. For some fields it says I need at least 80% in each English or French course in top 5. Does this mean that at least one out of English and French has to be in my top 5?</p>
<p>7) From the above example, you can see that the 80% I have in French is dragging my mark down. Since it probably won't be in my top 5, does this mean I don't have to worry about it?</p>
<p>8) How does McGill mark? I heard somewhere that the way the University of Toronto marks isn't that that they give you a direct grade, but it is dependant on how well the rest of the class is doing. Is McGill like that too?</p>
<p>9) When do you apply for residence at McGill?</p>
<p>10) If anyone here is attending/will be attending/has attended McGill, which residence did you like the best?</p>
<p>11) Even if my French mark isn't in my top 5, if I finish with a mark below 80%, will it jeopardize my chances?</p>
<p>12) Does McGill ever look at your high school GPA? It matters because if they do, then all your marks are going to come into effect for determining that GPA.</p>
<p>13? Does McGill require you to write any entrance essays?</p>
<p>14) If they do, how many?</p>
<p>15) If they do, what are they supposed to be about?</p>
<p>Thank you very much for your help!</p>
