I think “ready for review” is what was being displayed for my daughter too. Then she received an e-mail out-of-the-blue saying the status was updated.
Yup, US student.
When did she apply and to what faculty! Congrats to her! Is this her top choice?
Thank you. Faculty of Arts- which is surprisingly inexpensive compared to some of the others! She isn’t sure which school is her top choice yet, but McGill is certainly one of them. I think she submitted her application mid to late January. It didn’t take long- I was surprised.
Congratulations to your daughter. My daughter finally submitted the first week of January after her first semester grades came in. The wait is so stressful!
We went through this “gray zone” thing a few years ago with our other son. We finally heard back in March that he was waitlisted. In the meantime however there are also acceptances so I wouldn’t give up hope.
Good luck- I know the waiting is excruciating! It can just appear out of the blue.

Where did your son end up? Was he always ready fir review before waitlist?
Yes he was ready for review for a long time before getting waitlisted. He ended up attending UC Irvine here in California.
She was just accepted (pending final results)! Faculty of Arts. (She’s going for Political Science.)

I was unable to put my UW gpa since it wasn’t on my transcript (we only do W), will this delay my decision?

congrats! When did you submit your application? I ask because I’m trying to get a sense of what reviewing cycle I may be in
If you want to be reviewed test optional you need to fill out a form which was on the site with instructions.
I submitted my application on Oct 2nd and entered my grades the last week of November—my portal had been “ready for review” until sometime last week, i checked after 4/5 days today and i was surprised when it said “admitted”! It’s very random and the wait rly is frustrating, but hang tight!
