<p>I can't find on their website or anywhere else, what my average should be to be considered for acceptance at McGill (as an Ontario high school student). In their Management program (Business/Commerce pretty much), and also their Economics program. If anybody knows where this info is, or knows already from past experience, that'd be great to know. Thanks.</p>
<p>Aim for high 80's if you're from Ontario.</p>
<p>yeah the year i applied you needed to have at least an 87% average. Didn't take into consideration I went to a competitve private highschool and took mostly IB classes.</p>
<p>how about the scholarships? Say if I have excellent ECs and community service and excellent personal statements/essays with great recs? Will I be able to qualify for scholarships? My average is usually around 88-90%, will that hurt my chances? by the way im from bc.</p>
<p>I'm guessing the Business/Management program is harder to get into than the Economics one, which is I think a part of the Arts faculty like most other universities. Can I only apply for one program, or can I apply to business, but say I don't have the marks for that, also be applying for economics and maybe have the marks to be accepted into that?</p>
<p>just curious, is there set GPA average/requirement for its faculty of arts/political science?</p>
<p>That is what I'm trying to figure out. It doesn't say on their website, but I was hoping someone on here might know.</p>
<p>i never knew Mcgill has such a meager web system. It's a real pain in the ass finding something useful on their site.</p>
<p>There is no set GPA requirement, but they expect you to be in the top 20% of your class. Based on personal experience with admitted friends, you should be fine if your GPA is around a 3.7 and you have decent SAT's and strong extra curriculars. McGill is probably comparable to the better state schools in terms of admissions--ie University of Michigan, University of Wisconsin, etc.</p>
<p>I don't think McGill -along with many Canadian schools- looks at EC's very much. According to the 2005 Macleans review, the average first round grade are: arts-89%, science-90%, commerce-90%, engineering- 90%.</p>
<p>I would aim for the mid 90's just to be safe.</p>
<p>Agreed, McGill is one of the best schools in Canada, and has a great reputation everywhere. Of course, this makes applying that much harder. Low to Mid 90s is needed for pretty much any program.</p>
<p>McGill does not care about ECs. A 90% or above is a good aim, but an 85% might do it.</p>
<p>Does anyone know when McGill is going to do an orientation session in Toronto?</p>
<p>If you check this link, the dates for all their recruitment drives are listed.</p>
