Mc.Gill University In Canada?

<p>Pros and Cons for a US student?</p>

<p>I feel like a Con might be the weather and as a US student, If I go back to the US to find a job Mc.Gill might not be as "known" or "famous" in the united states</p>

<p>and pro and con ideas?</p>

<p>By the way: </p>

<p>I know schools look for more than just one thing, so I am wondering what the average American student needs to get into McGill U in Canada.</p>

<p>I've been looking at a few schools and this one has been on my list for a while, I want to learn more about it so that I can know what goals I need to make to get in.</p>

<p>What do I need for SATs? What about ACTs? How many subject tests (and min. scores)? Class rank? GPA (do they care more about weighted or unweighted)?</p>

<p>I heard that Mc.Gill is more into numbers than the activities. So do you think the following would be of less importance?:
Extra curricular activities (volunteer hours)? Class Curriculum? Work or out-of-school experiences? Essays? Recommendations?</p>

<p>Please give me any information about each of those topics I mentioned. I came to Yahoo answers to get more in depth information then what might be found online, so anything extra you can tell me would be great! :)</p>

<p>I heard Mc.Gill was one of the top Canadian school "Its undergraduate, graduate, and professional schools consistently ranks the top university in national rankings such as those published by Maclean's, and among the top 50 universities in regional and worldwide rankings, including the Times Higher Education (THE) - QS World University Rankings and Shanghai Jiao Tong University's Academic Ranking of World Universities." So I was surprised when I found out that the "Percent applicants admitted is 54%". This is because top American Ivy league schools have a 7% -19% applicants admitted, so I was expecting Mc.gill to have the same low percentage. Why is that?</p>

<p>Thank you for your time, I sincerely appreciate it!</p>
